 * There is also some evidence to suggest that the editor was involved in a WP:MEAT campaign in order to brigade the discussion. There's two reddit threads dedicated to include the information that was in dispute. The editor's username was mentioned in one of the threads to gain support. I requested a CheckUser before I learned there was an organized campaign. It's possible this isn't a sockpuppet account, but by the editor's own admission they are using multiple accounts and was either encouraged or involved in the meatpuppet campaign. --Nemov (talk) 20:28, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what you mean. What kind of evidence is there? Could you please show it to me? Despite your speculations I am not a part of any organized group and after you reverted my edit I created a discussion on the talk page specifically to prevent an edit war. What's wrong with that?

 * Your user page originally stated that this is an alt account. This, coupled with restoring the edits of Poojanthebeast and general same interest and activity resulted in a block as a suspected sockpuppet. I would recommend reviewing Appealing a block and not editing logged out like you have done on my talk page as this is considered block evasion and itself a blockable offense. Please keep all communications through this account (Chagcharan) and on this page. -- The SandDoctor Talk 19:18, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I have explained the reasons for having a second account above. I also now rarely use my second account, since it's edit history could easily be traced to my real world identity. Regarding the sockpuppet - I have now gone through the edits of me and the account Poojanthebeast. It's true that I have made edits regarding the same topic - something I was not aware of until now. Also, I have never restored his edits. Chagcharan (talk) 21:16, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Both first edits of both accounts were adding the same subject matter with the exact same source after it was reverted. -- The SandDoctor Talk 22:24, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
 * You're right. Yet still, I was not organized with Poojanthebeast in any way. I must admit that I learnt about this matter online and thought to add it to Wikipedia, since I saw it as important. Perhaps user Poojanthebeast heard about it in the same way, I really don't know. What I do know is that I did not take part in any organized group effort. I think that when something is a hot topic such as this, several users might independently try to add it to Wikipedia simultaneously, but that's hardly something I can be responsible for. Furthermore, since after my edit I noticed the ongoing edit war, I took the matter to the talk page - specifically to reach a community consensus and to prevent the type of behavior for which I am now apparently being blocked for...

 * And regarding the matching source - as far as I know, It's the only published source regarding this matter that exists. Anyone wanting to add this information will end up using this source. Chagcharan (talk) 23:29, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
 * This isn't a hot topic. It's an old story from two decades ago. It hasn't received any recent coverage. This seems to only be a hot topic on a reddit dedicated to including the information.. It seems pretty obvious you arrived when the call was made there to get involved.--Nemov (talk) 00:32, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I have never seen that reddit post until now. In fact I did not know about the existence of that subreddit until you mentioned it. Only shows that this topic is being discussed in many parts of the internet. The first time I heard about this incident was actually on the forum Caravanistan, specifically here. After that I did some more research, which lead me to the aforementioned article. Chagcharan (talk) 01:20, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
