Twister Twist

You said: "Hi Yamla. I have a question about User: Twister Twist. I said that was my sister's account not mine. But Sarah Ewart seemed to have put a sockpuppet tag on that user page and said that it was a sockpuppet of myself. Even if it was my account, there is not policy of keeping mulitiple accounts if they are not used for vandalism. Thank you."

You are correct, there's nothing inherently wrong with having a sockpuppet account even if both accounts are controlled by you. See WP:SOCK. Similarly, however, it is common Wikipedia practice to mark the accounts as such. I would suggest that you provide a link from both user pages to the other and note that you two are related. This prevents even a hint of improprietary. The concern is that you two may "gang up" when voting and the like, which would be unfair. Actually, I should reword that. The concern with sockpuppet accounts is that; there's no indication that you and your sister would do anything like that. Now, if I was the one who placed the sockpuppet notice there, it would entirely satisfy me if you provided links to each other's page on the user pages. You should probably run this past Sarah Ewart, however, as I obviously cannot speak for her. If this is unacceptable for some reason, please let me know and I'll see if I can come up with any other suggestions. --Yamla 04:34, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

I would also advise you to warn your sister about WP:SOCK and to avoid any discussions that you are participating in.--Ed ^{¿Cómo estás?} 04:47, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

If you have a problem with the actions of an administrator, you really should bring it up with that admin before going to others. I didn't put the sock tag on that userpage, I simply changed it from Cute 1 4 U to Tennislover. And I did so after reading the RFCU and before I even unblocked you. I personally don't have much of a problem with whether or not it stays, however, I think you should first explain the account here [1]. I also think, at the very least, both pages should have a statement at the top acknowledging that they are both run from the same IP. Sarah Ewart 18:45, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Re: Retirement

I'm sorry to see you retire. I understand what a toll Wikipedia can take on people, or people just stop being interested. Everyone has their own reason. Anyway, best of luck outside of Wikipedia, and have a good day.

I wish you best of luck on whatever you are doing right now outside of Wikipedia. You will surely be missed.--Ed ^{¿Cómo estás?} 00:47, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Civility Barnstar

Hope you have a good retirement! The RSJ ^¿Qué?

I've given you this barnstar because I think you deserve it. From the Cute 1 4 u situation to whatever else you may have faced, you have kept your head cool. You've just been civil throughout your whole WikiSpan. Again, good luck with retirement - The RSJ ^¿Qué? 23:01, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
