User talk:PlatanusOccidentalis

Since I am already blocked, I might as well reveal that I am a sockpupppet of user:Ionas68224. Although I also admit to using the sockpuppets identified by Jayjg to protect my good account from a block, I find the way Jayjg just randomly checked my account abusive. Given Jay's past history, he probably checked it due to my appearance at the page Talk:Israeli West Bank barrier bringing up an inappropriate title. Although it did turn up sockpuppets (and Jayjg is not really a good checkuser, as he did not notice that on this account, I have logged in with my home IP), the random use of checkuser on people you disagree with is wrong.

Undoing a recent consensus?
Based on the fact that your first two mainspace articles were to revert hard-won consensus Rosalind Picard and James Tour, the only two articles subject of a disruptive campaign organized at WikipediaReview by a banned user, followed by a comment at User:Filll that appears to trolling, I'm issuing you this warning: If you continue to undo the fragile consensus at these two articles I will take it as evidence of your intent engage in disruptive editing and trolling rather than constructive contributions and will follow the steps outlined at WP:DE to stop the disruption, which may include a block or permanent ban.

Evidence of Meatpuppetry
User:Moulton is an indefinitely banned editor, and his ban was in large part due to his edits to Rosalind Picard vis-a-vis the petition. Wikipedia's policy SOCK not only strongly discourages editing on the behalf of banned editors, but provides for the original remedy applied to the banned user, his ban, to extend to his meatpuppets as well: "A new user who engages in the same behavior as another user in the same context, and who appears to be editing Wikipedia solely for that purpose, shall be subject to the remedies applied to the user whose behavior they are joining."

After taking a look at your history and that of indef banned editor Moulton who has been recruiting and advising meatpuppets at WikipediaReview on editing the Picard article in his place, I see that your edits here exactly matches word-for-word the edits User:Moulton calls for someone there to make on his behalf:  Should you repeat the edits Moulton calls for at Rosalind Picard and James Tour Moulton's ban will be extended to cover you as well per SOCK.

 * I've replied on your talk page. I was not recruited, I chose to do so. Filll and you chose to accuse me of meatpuppetry. PlatanusOccidentalis (talk) 19:15, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
 * SOCK fails to recognize such a distinction, and walking in the footsteps of a banned user has been the sole necessary and sufficient grounds for extending bans to meatpuppets in both arbcom precedent and community convention. You've gotten very poor advice from Moulton; I suggest steering clear of the articles he's recruiting others to edit on his behalf. FeloniousMonk (talk) 04:41, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I am not here to act on Moulton's behalf (that just happened to be my first edits' purpose) and I will begin contributing other than that. PlatanusOccidentalis (talk) 02:18, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
