Began patrolling Recent Changes and I was drawn to here. Anyways, here we have a group of biased users trying to add the subreddit "nonewnormal" to the list of controversial Reddit communities. As a matter of fact, the wording in is almost verbatim to  (albeit this time with sources). User:GorillaWarfare, you might want to check this out. HighwayTyper (talk) 01:31, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

Update: Looks like Skippy even gave Keitan a barnstar at the end of all this, so I think my case is quite compelling and kind of conclusive. HighwayTyper (talk) 01:32, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

I promise I'm not the same person as Keitan Hargreaves. We're both on a subreddit called r/NoNewNormalBan where we try getting r/NoNewNormal banned from Reddit. There are many more subreddits with the same goal. But now I know it's kind of against Wikipedia's neutral policy so I'll stop editing about this topic altogether.

 * I do recall seeing a Reddit post about adding NoNewNormal to the controversial Reddit communities page when Keitan Hargreaves was trying to do it; see Talk:Controversial Reddit communities. I think this may well be off-wiki coordination/meatpuppetry rather than sockpuppetry, and I'm fairly inclined to believe Skippy that they didn't know it wasn't allowed.

 * Per GorillaWarfare and Skippy2520's comment, I'll assume good faith here. Please note that Wikipedia is not a platform for advocacy, no matter how noble the goal may be, and that making edits due to off-wiki canvassing can be treated as sockpuppetry and met with sanctions. Closing with no action.  --Blablubbs&#124;talk 09:17, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
