Misplaced Pages

Who are you?

Edit summaries such as "rv unsourced GF edits", "L1 warning for section blanking", "multiple m. grammar fixes", "Gallery: fixed from picture desc", "restoring SineBot's autosig" and " linkifying ISIL and Al-Nusra" are not the work of a new editor, so perhaps you can dispense with the pretense and come clean about who you are, what your previous account was, and why you're editing with a new account. The alternative is for I and other editors to keep nibbling away at the evidence you present until we uncover the truth, and then you are blocked from editing. If there's a legitimate reason why you're editing with a new account, this is the time to come clean and reveal it. Otherwise, what you're facing is constant surveillance and extremely close inspection of all your edits for their legitimacy. Beyond My Ken (talk) 10:10, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

Threatening behaviour like this totally undermines the Misplaced Pages:Clean start policy. Blackberry Sorbet (talk • contribs) 11:13, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

This refers to Beyond My Ken's message above, Kdtully - not you. Blackberry Sorbet (talk • contribs) 13:25, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

WP:CLEANSTART is a much abused process, Mr. Sorbet. If Kdtully is indeed a bona fide clean start, he is extremely strongly advised not to edit in the subject areas he has edited in before. Is that the case, Kdtully, are you inserting yourself into an area you edited with your previous account, and are you avoiding the subject areas you edited in before the clean start

Secondly, Clean Start is not intended to be a process by which editors can put previous sanctions behind them. Is that the case, Kdtully, that your previous account ha not subject to outstanding blocks or bans connected to it?

Finally, to Blackberry Sorbet: you've had an account for two years, and have about 1,500 edits. In short, you've got very little experience here, so your interjection is both inappropriate and undesirable. I suggest you back off until you have a bit more understanding about how this site works.

Don't call me "Mr. Sorbet" - that is both patronising and insulting, although that was probably your intention. If Kdtully is a clean start you have no grounds WHAT-SO-FUCKING-EVER to harass them into revealing their previous account details. You have no reason to start interrogating them or asking where they have previously edited. If you have reasonable evidence to believe that the editor is using multiple accounts in a way that is contrary to policy, then initiate an SPI. If not, leave them alone. As for how long I may have been here or how many edits I may have, that doesn't alter a fig. You are out of line, pal. Blackberry Sorbet (talk • contribs) 14:21, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
