You are suspected of sock puppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the notes for the suspect, then respond to the evidence at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Whitelight77. Thank you.

Hey Primefac Please note you commented about the quality of writing on a page you nominated for deletion. I added citations to the page and left a note in defense of it. Arguably, my writing style demonstrates a degree of higher education. Either I am not the same person who wrote the entry and, therefore, not a "sock puppet" OR I very cleverly created the page using a poor writing style under a different user name years before you decided to try to get it "blown up". What you have demonstrated with this specious accusation is bullying and ignorance, neither of which are defendable.

Silverline72, the fact that you feel I am doing this purely to be a bully, or that I am wilfully ignorant, is rather unfair. The SPI process requires a large amount of evidence, of which I have. None of the accounts under scrutiny were around when the article was originally written, and so I can surmise rather confidently that you are not one of the original writers. The reason that the SPI was created is because the article got put up for deletion, and within two days we had three brand-new accounts all editing it and trying to justify its inclusion. This is highly suspicious activity, and usually implies either a sockpuppet or a meatpuppet - hence the SPI. If you are indeed unconnected to the other accounts, the investigation will show that. I did not do this out of malice, spite, or a desire to see the article tanked, I'm just following a logical set of steps based on the rules set up by Wikipedia. If anything, I'm glad the article is receiving the attention it deserves, and I'm contemplating withdrawing the deletion nomination. Primefac (talk) 11:34, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
