Hi ,

Have you edited Wikipedia using a different account, or perhaps even multiple ones, before? Then please provide a comprehensive list of them or a credible explanation why not doing so is compatible with Wikipedia's policy against sockpuppetry.

Thank you very much in advance and best regards, ~ ToBeFree (talk) 13:24, 3 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi, I have hung around Wikipedia for many years and have edited as an IP at various points, but this is my first registered account. Feel free to check, in whatever way desired. Thanks for your help. Regards, Ericonix (talk) 23:59, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
 * That's fine, no worries. I wondered because "vandalism", "BLP violation" and "vandalism-only account" are unusual content of a new user's vocabulary. Having edited without an account for years and then creating one is encouraged rather than a problem, though, and explains this pretty well. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 00:33, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

Avoiding an edit war
Hi Ericonix! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Ari Emanuel several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree&#32;at, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 13:25, 3 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Additional note: While edit warring is prohibited in general, biographies of living persons are special in some regards. For example, you must not restore content to a biography of a living person if others have objected to it in good faith (cf. WP:BLPRESTORE). You can start a discussion on the article's talk page, and such a discussion must end with a consensus to restore the material before it can be restored. If you ignore this restriction, for example by restoring the alleged end date of the marriage of Ari Emanuel before a consensus is found, you may be blocked from editing or topic banned from editing biographies of living persons. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 13:41, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
