Question About Journalistic Ethics
Is use of sock puppets to disguise censorship an accepted journalistic practice? In your opinion? Cerberus 02:31, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Explanation
Since you claim to understand how sock puppetry functions on Wikipedia, then you will understand why your edit history exposes you, and you will also understand the difference between sock puppetry abuse and use of a pseudonym (Wikipedia encourages the latter). So I suppose your questions were just rhetorical? If not, I can elaborate further. As for the ethics of censorship, journalistic or otherwise, I suppose that is between you and your conscience.

Request for Usurpation
Hello, Levante. A request has been made at Changing username/Usurpations to usurp, or "take over", your username because another user would like to use it to edit. The changing username guideline allows a username that is not being actively used to be usurped if the user is given an opportunity to object and does not do so.

If you have an email set in your preferences, you should be getting an email from a bureaucrat or changing username clerk explaining how to consent or object to this process.

If you do not object to being renamed to a new username in order for another user to use the name you currently have, please log in and post a reply here saying so (you may also tell us what username you would like to be renamed to, or we will provide you with a generic one).

If you do nothing : the request may be filled shortly, and your account will be moved to a generic username. You may request that it be moved to a new username of your choice at any time.

If you object to being renamed : please log in and make an edit to this page clearly stating that you object to usurpation.

Please note that even if your current username is usurped, you can still edit and your data will not be lost; your preferences, watchlist, and other user settings will be transferred to a new username.

Thank you for your time. 217.91.106.139 (talk) 23:07, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
