Template:PhysInd anon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It would really help if you would stop using so many usernames and ip addresses. It makes it very hard to work with you. Note the wikipedia policy on this. There is no rule against using multiple accounts (although it is discouraged if you don't have a good reason), but if you use them to confuse people or deceive them (e.g. by making it appear that there is more support for a change than there actually is) you are violating policy. Note that Wikipedia's blocking policy prohibits disruptive editing, and that some editors and admins may consider your activities to be disruptive.

[edit] List of accounts apparently created by this individual

This list is incomplete.

This editor also frequently uses anonymous accounts, and changes ip address with every editing session.

This template has a specific, narrow application. For some time, a single individual has been editing articles on physics and India (and possibly other topics). He or she appears to edit from a different user account or IP address in each editing session, making it difficult to communicate with him/her. Additionally, the user sometimes does not respect consensus and will frequently revert edits made by other editors, restoring the article to his/her preferred version with little or no comment. These activities may be disruptive, but may not yet have risen to the level of prohibited sockpuppetry. They generally do not constitute vandalism, although the individual does often remove content without discussion.

This template has several purposes:

  1. Serve as an appropriate talk page warning for new accounts created by this individual.
  2. Alert editors unfamiliar with him/her that this individual edits from multiple accounts.
  3. Aid editors in tracking the contributions of this individual, communicating with him/her, and evaluating edits that may appear to come from multiple individuals but are not.
