Why am I (MrPorpoise) mentioned on this page?
I seem to be mentioned in a list, which I'm having some difficulty interpreting the meaning of as well. What's going on? MrPorpoise (talk) 01:19, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

 * Mr Porpoise - There is nothing sinister or nefarious about me noting and saving your name and editor data link. I saved your user name to my "interesting editors" section a few years ago when I came upon an incident of concern about your previous user name. I wanted to be able to follow what was happening to you as various editors did comment. They created a "Singleporpoise" conspiracy theory out of whole cloth. I was just watching the social dynamics of how Wikipedia editors deal with a thing that is not a thing except in their imaginings. I'll remove your editor data. I apologize that I alarmed you.

 * No worries. I was not scared at all, just very confused when there was no clear context. Sorry if my tone seemed harsh.
 * My side of the story with the username is that if I had not also commented on what was apparently a hot topic at around that same time, I probably wouldn't have had to change username at all. But some people surrounding that article were being very touchy and my username sort of struck a nerve with them. I don't even remember what exactly the article was about but what I do remember is what I thought was a fairly small objective edit to a political article was then interpreted as an attack on some person. With that experience in mind I've stopped using Wikipedia as a source for anything political at all, it opened my eyes to how there's a blatant double standard to political content here. So the small edits I still make are pretty much only on technical topics.
 * Making matters worse I'm using a VPN to access Wikipedia (long story but Sweden has some truly draconian data logging laws and my ISP is handing out free VPNs to fight back). A short while after the situation with my username that VPN was added to the list of blocked IP ranges. Coincidence or not I was then unable to edit on Wikipedia with my account at all and I sort of forgot about having an account for a while. Until I was pinged by your mention through email, actually. Evidently my VPN is now unblocked again.
 * Anyway, I thought you'd find some value in that story if you took an interest in the "Singleporpoise" conspiracy theory. Have a nice day! :) MrPorpoise (talk) 23:21, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
