Wikipedia talk:Requests for checkuser/Case/Dr. Anymouse


 * moved from the case page
 * Two roommates working on the same article have a built-in conflict with the interests of Wikipedia, which is enough to trip the 'meatpuppet' provisions of WP:SOCK. I suggest that the IP be blocked three months anon-only, that the roommate be invited to create an account, that the two user pages should acknowledge the relationship, and that the two people should not both work on any of the same controversial articles together.

 * Done. I am on pledge to be in "tip top" behavior per a note from William Connoley (sp?).  "We" will negotiate entries to fibromyalgia off line and I will post them through my account. Now, what can we do about OrangeMarlin's being overly quick on the Twinkle to reverse a majority of what I do on that article?  Dr. Anymouse (talk) 23:00, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your response. Tip top behavior is a good thing, and it would be a pleasant change from recent events. We could do without the mocking remarks at User talk:Dr. Anymouse, and the diatribes on the IP's page about routine enforcement of WP policy ("Really, this is hysterical..."). How would you feel if the IP were blocked anon-only, to make it clear that any further edits via your IP should be made through registered accounts? EdJohnston (talk) 23:12, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm all for it, thanks. But to get a taste for what I am up against, take a look at how quickly OrangeMarlin reversed my edits on fibromyalgia ... I mean, within minutes.  Is there any way I can get him off my back?  I'm not a WP-pro, so I don't know all the protocol to address this.  My life's work is fibromyalgia; he is a self-professed doubter.  Seems a bit silly to have a unqualified individual reverting efforts to improve the content of the article, especially since (as noted by others) this is the first hit that comes up on Google.com when the word 'fibromyalgia' is typed in.  We have hashed out the 'controversy' issue in times past.  I've been a lot less acid since then, though I can't vouch for my friend-gurl.  What are your thoughts?

I think we can mark this case. Perhaps the thread above can be taken elsewhere -- it doesn't concern the sockpuppetry allegations. [[Sam Korn ]] (smoddy) 00:01, 7 January 2009 (UTC)


 * (ec) @Dr. Anymouse: Fibromyalgia is a highly contentious article, so I hope you are not totally shocked at being reverted. We have policies on dispute resolution for a reason, and I hope you will become familiar with them. I've blocked the IP 3 months anon-only, but any other admin may modify the block. I suggest that further discussion take place on your Talk page. If you need to have anonymous editing permitted through this IP, please explain how you plan to do so in accordance with the WP:SOCK policy. Creating new accounts is still enabled.
