Sockpuppetry case

[edit]

You are suspected of sock puppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the notes for the suspect, then respond to the evidence at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Lawline. Thank you.

Deny the allegations of sock puppetry. This account was used for some minor corrections to links. The Wikipedia article on VoterMarch was recently deleted. Under these circumstances, it was appropriate to give a link to the outside website of Voter March. This is not promotionalism to Voter March and was done in "good faith" to assist Wikipedia readers. There is no harm and this is not vandalism. Wikipedia is part of the Wikipedia Foundation, a not-for-profit educational corporation. The free online Wikipedia encyclopedia says that this is a website that everyone can write and edit. Shoewide (talk) 10:25, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@User:JohnInDC, no rules were broken. Your initiation of "sock puppet" investigations, complaints and snide remarks are an overzealous "witch hunt" against Louis J. Posner and Voter March. You have not followed the guidelines of Wikipedia, and have demonstrated "bad faith," personal bias, hidden agendas, vindictivesness, and maliciousness.Shoewide (talk) 08:16, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, give this wounded self-pitying persecution gambit a rest. Go read Wikipedia:Sock_puppetry. You've broken every rule in it. JohnInDC (talk) 12:09, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
