Suspected sockpuppets
Sockmaster admitted on their talk page that they are a shared corporate account, and whined about why this was forbidden.Special:Diff/1123060272 The only article they had edited was an advert for a book, Draft:The Great Transition – the personalization of finance is here. A few minutes later, User:Rainyweathero shows up on my talk page and wants me to reinstate the deleted advert, saying "I am not advertising the book. May I know more detail why it's deleted?. Is it because the page has link to purchase sites like amazon etc? "Special:Diff/1123062110&diff. The sock disclosed that they are being paid by the author of the book, but then blanked the userpage on which they had made that disclosure.Special:Diff/1123061566.

 * Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.


 * Isn't Wikipedia becoming more political now? Based on the statements given seems it shares hatred instead of being genuinely open to society and allow them to correct their mistake. Honestly none of you showing any real person either. Anyway, let's move on from the past and do let me know what can be rectified. ￼ Rainyweathero (talk) 17:28, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
