You are suspected of sock puppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the notes for the suspect, then respond to the evidence at Sockpuppet investigations/David Gushee. Thank you. Stevie is the man!

I strongly protest the way I (David P. Gushee) am depicted in this entry. It was written by people aiming to hurt me and my reputation. I have never sought to edit a Wikipedia entry and so I did not understand the rules when I tried to correct the scurrilous entry about myself that I discovered today. My edit was first attempted under username David Gushee. Then when that apparently was blocked it was attempted under wvgrantjr. So I guess that is sockpuppetry. Clever. Whoever is blocking the revisions on this page about me are preventing me from correcting basic factual errors and updating my current information. They quote only criticism, no praise, and are distorting the significance of one issue and one book in my lengthy career. I am protecting myself against a biased entry. I ask that the entries that I made be accepted. If that is impossible, I request that this page be deleted and no future page about me ever be included. David P.

 * Like I said in my revert edit summaries, you can request changes to the article at the page Talk:David P. Gushee. Given you are the subject, ordinarily, any substantive change you make to the article (beyond simple fixes like typos) will be reverted according to our site's conflict of interest policy.  Also, the Wikipedia doesn't accept requests for removal of articles except under specific extreme conditions, but as far as I know, given the article is well-sourced and that the subject (you in this case) is a notable one, the best that can happen is you request changes on the article's talk page and someone else makes them.

 * Your original account was not blocked at the time you created this new account, but that is still sockpuppetry. I did block it now for three days.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  22:04, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
