Hi there
editHi Jwahi, and thanks for your contributions. I'm Kevin, and I'm a Wikipedia administrator. As you may be aware, we have received a report that you may have been improperly coordinating with other accounts. I know you didn't intend to flout Wikipedia site policies, so I am closing the report without formal action, but I wanted to make sure that you're familiar with some of the rules surrounding use of multiple accounts and coordination between accounts. The formal policies can be found at WP:SOCK and WP:CANVASS, but here's a quick summary:
- It is usually not allowed to use multiple Wikipedia accounts. If you use multiple accounts, except under very special circumstances, you must publicly disclose all of the accounts you are using.
- Coordination between multiple people, especially on matters internal to Wikipedia (such as administrative deletion processes) or in a manner that creates an illusion of support, is not allowed. If you coordinate between multiple people off of Wikipedia, disclose that fact on Wikipedia to avoid giving an impression that you're trying to deceive the community.
- Asking others to participate in a consensus decision-making process with the intent to influence that process in a particular way is not allowed.
Because Wikipedia is so open, these rules are necessary to prevent serious damage and abuse, and so there are serious penalties when these rules are violated. I know this is probably not what you want to be thinking about when you edit Wikipedia, and trust me, I don't want you to have to spend too much time worrying about administrative matters like this either. Just make sure to follow these points and we should be set from now on. Best, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 17:51, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
