Another. Ironicly, added a retired template to his userpage after creating "DoctorDM". --Hu12 (talk) 23:18, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

I have been accused of being a sockpuppet by Hu12 (above), which is absolutely not true. I created a new name on wikipedia last week because I hadn't been on for a long time and forgot my old name and password. However, I have edited dozens of wikipedia articles over the years, and edited quite a few this week. And I have written several books on health topics that I have edited articles about.

Hu12 says I created my new name because of a template for someone else -- in fact, I don't know what he is talking about.

I have been on the faculty of several prestigious universities and I have as much right to edit articles on wikipedia as anyone else. I don't understand why assumptions are made about who I am and what my motives are. Hu12 doesn't know me and is incorrect in his/her assumptions. If s/he has any other allegations, s/he should talk to me directly. I don't appreciate being unsulted, especially by someone who doesn't know how to spell ironically.

Seems fairly ducky to me. I don't know if a CU is warranted here. Tag and bag, boys/girls. MacMedtalk stalk 03:34, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Whatever "evidence" made Hu12 assume I was a sockpuppet was completely incorrect. This is not some evil conspiracy to write an article about a small nonprofit organization. If you look at other articles about nonprofit organizations, editing by a small number of people is quite common. Sometimes something looks like a duck through a biased viewpoint but is not a duck when you have the facts. And looking at wikipedia articles, I see many that are more troublesome than this one.

 * - It is certainly possible, but I would prefer that a checkuser take a look, as there were some things I found while reviewing that made it seem like it might not be the case. NW ( Talk ) 20:49, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, please see my defense above. I want to add one thing. Wikipedia is strengthened by the edits of faculty who only edit a few articles on topics they know a lot about. They shouldn't be insulted with allegations of sockpuppetry just because they aren't frequent editors.
