Puppet show watch:

Hello, if you have found this sub-page, you have located some notes I am keeping regarding editing habits on the Ohio Wesleyan University article and related pages. These are observations, not accusations, and certianly no user at this time has been found guilty of anything. As far as I know, no one has requested an official investigation regarding any of these accounts. For now I'm simply using this information to watch whatever turns up.

If you are using an account in violation of the policy Sock puppetry, I would ask you to please stop. Choose your best account and stick with it. If you are concerned that the contents of this page are somehow inappropriate, please feel free to discuss the matter on my talk page. Happy editing. -MrFizyx 22:39, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
