WP:Sockpuppetry
Please note that it is a violation of Wikipedia's policies to edit with another account name to avoid scrutiny of one's edits. in addition, since User:Bodole has been blocked from editing anything connected to Jacy Reese Anthis, using another account (such as this one) to edit Jacy Reese Anthis and The End of Animal Farming would be block evasion, which can get Bodole blocked from editing Wikipedia in general. Please also note our policy on WP:Meatpuppetry. Beyond My Ken (talk) 18:54, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Making edits you disagree with does not make me a sockpuppet or meatpuppet. Please discuss on the talk page. Life Rabbit (talk) 19:28, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

WP:COI
Hello, Life Rabbit. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Jacy Reese Anthis, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Beyond My Ken (talk) 19:02, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Making edits you disagree with does not make me a COI editor either. Please discuss on the talk page. Life Rabbit (talk) 19:29, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

Unblock discussion
So you walk in out of the blue and become embroiled in a content dispute, taking the position of an editor whos has been WP:topic banned from that subject? (deep breath). Ok, what would you say to a WP:topic ban on Jacy Reese Anthis as a condition for unblocking? Please. Give us some examples of the constructive edits you would make.. -- Deep fried okra  ( schalte ein ) 21:56, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

Though I would suggest not unblocking for a week. -- Deep fried okra  ( schalte ein ) 21:57, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

Anyone wanting to know my reasoning on this matter can free fill to email me. -- Deep fried okra  ( schalte ein ) 22:07, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
 * As long as the TB is "broadly construed", I have no objection, based on your best judgment. Beyond My Ken (talk) 22:35, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't call it out of the blue. I heard about issues with this page (there are blog posts and numerous Facebook threads about it, and offline discussions among related social groups in the LessWrong domain), so I took a look. I saw some obvious factual inaccuracies: the name of his wife is not Witwicki anymore and he no longer writes under the name Jacy Reese. This New York Times article says his wife took Anthis as her last name, and all of his publications (example) since his wedding have been under Anthis, not Reese. I also saw an NPOV issue with the book page (the 3 quotations were negative when it also says coverage was "mostly positive") and that the COI tag hadn't been removed following the edits, so I made those changes too. Yes, some of this involved putting back in content that Beyond My Ken had deleted and Bodole had originally added.


 * Topic ban if you want. I'm not planning to edit anything else right now. I just saw factual inaccuracies so I stepped in to fix them. I didn't think this would be controversial. I saw SarahSV, Paleo, and other people being reasonable on the talk page so I figured the changes would be obvious improvements or I would be corrected on why they were problematic. I really don't see an issue with my edit, though I don't know how I can go about proving I'm not a sockpuppet. And I really don't see why this Beyond My Ken guy gets to be the arbiter of all things holy when it comes to the Jacy Reese Anthis pages.

 * Hey, Life Rabbit. Would you be able to link those discussions that brought you here? It would help everyone to know what we're dealing with here.  D ÅRTH B ØTTØ ( T • C ) 19:33, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
