Sockpuppet investigation[edit]
An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Popecol, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

As a researcher, of course I will be contributing to topics that I am knowledgeable in, which is the point of Wikipedia. I have added new and relevant information to all the pages I have posted in. Although I have added my own citations, especially in the case when they are the only ones available, I have also made sure to add a lot of references from others. In some cases, I have added my references where they specifically asked for references. However, I didn't realize that if I was going to be adding my own references I had to ask by posting on the talk page another contributor could review whether they should add it themselves. I thought that since I was adding valuable references, even though they were my own, it would be appreciated, especially in the case where it was the only scientific reference available, and since I was also adding references from other researchers as well when available. Also, I originally had an account with my name but decided it would be best to be anonymous so I created another account. Since I would forget my accounts when I signed out or forget my password I would create others. I probably have others besides the ones cited that I forgot about. I also wasn't sure how to use wikipedia and wouldn't know I had messages. I only realized later one when I found that my posts were deleted. However, I understand now the importance of socking and how it affects wikipedia. Nevertheless, I will no longer be adding anything that will be considered self promotion, and instead ask to request an edit by others if I think it can be of value. From now on I will post to correct and add new knowledge and include only references from other researchers. I want to use my expert knowledge to contribute to Wikipedia and its goals. Please let me know what are the next steps I can take to be an expert editor for Wikipedia. DrJoseV (talk) 14:20, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
