This is a sock puppet account.

FYI: I am a very low-key editor on the Wikipedia. Most of the time I just want to edit in a small number of rather quiet areas where I have an interest and also have the knowledge or the reference sources to be able to write or improve articles. I have also done my very best to stay away from most of the more dysfunctional areas of the Wikipedia. Occasionally, however, I will want to make a comment that I don't want associated with my regular Wikipedia account. For example, I might want to say something controversial, or ever something anti-Wikipedia (or at least anti-status quo). Or I might want to add a comment to a heavily debated topic or long-running controversy without being permanently sucked into the quagmire. For those rare instances, I will be using this account instead of the one that I regularly use when editing on the Wikipedia.

My rules
Because sock puppet accounts entail a certain amount of controversy, I have set a number of rules on how I will use this account.


 * 1) I will never use this account to do any voting (although I will certainly feel free to add my opinions to the comments sections).
 * 2) This account will never be used to edit any articles (but I might add commentary to article talk pages).
 * 3) I will never use this account to nominate an article for deletion.
 * 4) This account will never be used to circumvent any Wikipedia Policies or guidelines.
 * 5) I will never use this account to get around a block or ban.
 * 6) This account will never be used for abuse or name calling (but I don't do that in my regular account either).
 * 7) I will never use this account for deception, or to attempt to make a position look more popular.

Some anti-clues
To those who might try to guess who this account belongs to:


 * 1) I am not currently nor have I ever been an administrator. I have never tried but failed to become an administrator.
 * 2) I have never filed a WP:RFC, WP:RFM or WP:RFAR, nor have I ever had one filed against me.
 * 3) I have never been banned or blocked.
 * 4) I do not participate on any of the Wikipedia mailing lists or Wikipedia IRC channels.
