Second Claim of Meat Puppetry
RobertHalls7 Original text
 * They have formed a cohort that gives the appearance of a democratic mandate to manage the reputation of The School of Economic Science (a.k.a. The School of Practical Philosophy) covered by WP:MEAT ("Consensus in many debates and discussions should ideally not be based upon number of votes, but upon policy-related points made by editors"). In Talk page discussion I refer to the SES with universality in mind as a 'group' or 'organization', and edited the MOS:FIRST line accordingly prior to 2018's year of consensus/stablity at the article - this is far more generous to the organization that our articles on the Church of Scientology, for example, which it has been studied with ; Have also contributed relatively positive opinion on it from Evans: and Hugh Jackman in interview: This said, many sources (including those in the body of the article) refer to it as a New Religious Movement or sect, cult, an alleged cult or a possible cult, more diffs available, most recently Emily Watson in the Financial Times of April 10, 2019 with a verifiable history of criminal child abuse, denigration of women and other controversial issues talked about in the secondary sources. I have added material which reflects this. In breach of WP:LEDE this is getting removed from the intro by the cohort e.g. here and here  despite talk page opposition: leaving readers with the impression that it is an educational, course-providing charity without any reputation of past wrongdoing, nor any sign of the many verifiable allegations of it being a New Religious Movement or cult, etc...

Thrid Claim of Meat Puppetry
Note: For years at the article we've also had a longterm user who self-disclosed as a member of the organization, and stood up for its reputation. They happen to have had a record of sock-puppetry and sanctions elsewhere. But they participated in content disagreements that - no matter how heated - helped us reach consensus and improved the article. For some reason I doubt they're connected, but I cannot be certain. Since February, they have at times seen eye-to-eye with some of the new arrivals about content, and have also edited to remove content that could be problematic for the organization. Two diffs at least show a commonality of purpose between this longterm user and one of the new users. I can file them if you think it's important. Many thanks, Roberthall7 (talk) 20:09, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

Conversational threads from claim of suspicious behavior to ban

 * Clerk note:@Roberthall7: Given the information you just presented, I'm fairly confident this is a tag-teaming effort, which also shifts this into the matter of administrator discretion. I disagree with MelanieN's conclusion that their editing is not disruptive. Let me state that the Wikipedia sockpuppetry policy (WP:SOCK) does not only cover actual sockpuppets but people who game the system (meatpuppetry, etc.) to form sockpuppetry-like behaviour. Per the points stated on WP:SOCK, this clearly falls under "Creating an illusion of support" and "Posing as a neutral or uninvolved commentator" (atleast these two, maybe more) points of our policy and is clearly WP:NOTHERE behaviour. As such, I will endorse any such blocks placed by any administrator on these accounts, noting ofcourse, I'm not an administrator and I have no authority to do so myself. Pinging @MelanieN: who should be aware of my opinion and @Ivanvector: who was on this case before. --qedk (t 桜 c) 13:58, 16 June 2019 (UTC)


 * I have blocked Millandhouse33 and Boneohimself, based partly on the CU result, on our discussion here, and their continued coordinated advocacy for the school. It's edging on meatpuppetry, but I'm mostly unimpressed that the obviously COI editors have ignored administrators' warnings to not edit the article directly. Because of that I have not tagged the accounts. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 14:05, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

The above statement is made by RobertHall7 on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Veuveclicquot1 and claimed as evidence of my wrongdoing.

 * 2)  20:44, 7 May 2019‎ Within a minute Kashmiri reverts his own comment before I see or respond to it.
 * 3)  22:38, 7 May 2019 I post a message on Kasmiri's page to confirm he intended to delete.
 * 4)  22:47, 7 May 2019 Kashmiri responds stating original message was a mistake "Sorry this happens when I have too many tabs open. Apologies for the confusion"
 * 04:49, 19 June 2019 RobertHall7 Posts comment 1 to the investigation without proper context claiming it to be evidence of my wrongdoing.

Unblock Request
Thank you, your reply provides some much needed feedback. Can I ask for some further explaination on your 4 points. 1) accepted 100%. 2) Is the reson for this ban that Myself, BoneoHimself and Egato repeteadly colluded to take the page in a specific direction, or is is somthing else? 3) I did get banned for sock in Feb, I was within a few days of me joining wikipedia, I did not know any better & accepted full responisbility. It has not happened since. I was initially argumentative with MelanieN, but I quickly realised my error, made up and have followed her instruction on concensus ever since. (you'll notice I'm very active on thie talk page for this reason). We were both editing the page in parrelel quite happily for some time and her comments on the investigation were in my favor. I accept responsibily for both these things, but they have not happened since, are my early transgressions a factor? 4) Thanks. Millandhouse33 (talk) 22:15, 10 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Sorry for not replying sooner. The question are my early transgressions a factor? would best be answered by . I don't think so, but I don't want to answer incorrectly.  Dlohcierekim (talk) 03:07, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I guess I'm waiting for, is there anything I should be doing to speed things up? Millandhouse33 (talk) 10:30, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
