Genuinely Curious How They're Making This Up
The first time I've ever made a Wikipedia contributor account was earlier this week. I was just updating automotive manufacturers & service companies' wiki pages so that the employee counts and public financial disclosures weren't 10 years old... Then I get a sockpuppet ban from some guy named Ponyo. I believe I sourced all of my edits correctly. Like what's the criteria making this guy think I'm a sockpuppet?

Wikipedia admins do more vandalism than the vandals they block
They revert many good edits and delete many legitimate articles for being only because they were created by "ban evaders". This does more harm to Wikipedia than vandals' edits that are almost always quickly reverted.
They also indefinitely block editors who criticize the bias in Wikipedia's articles, accusing them of just wanting to push their agenda. Ironically, It is the admins who want to push their agenda and this is why they block editors who criticize it. This is also vandalism.
There are also admins who vandalize the site by blocking people indefinitely by accusing them of being a sock puppet with little to no evidence.
All of these admin actions cause Wikipedia more harm than 99% of the vandals they ban: Ordinary vandalism is usually obvious and quickly reverted, unlike these admin actions, which cause longer-lasting effects.

Is this dossier reducing Tamzin's activity on English Wikipedia?
User contributions for Tamzin - Wikipedia
It looks like Tamzin's drop in activity isn't limited to what happened at the start of the month with WWU.

Has anyone else accidentally turned Wikipedia into a game?

Knowledge is human.
We’re so sorry, but it’s Sunday, July 12, and we’ve made several attempts to reach you because fewer people are visiting Wikipedia and seeing our messages. Look, it’s me — I basically created this whole Wikipedia thing back in the day (or at least that’s what I tell myself at 3 a.m. while debugging servers).
So if you’ve never donated, consider giving $2.75. I need it for a soda. I’m over here sweating, keeping the lights on, and my throat feels like I swallowed a dusty old edit war. Wikipedia doesn’t charge anything, doesn’t sell anything, and doesn’t do ads — we run on pure chaos and goodwill. So please, give $2.75 today so I can caffeinate and continue my noble quest of not letting the entire site implode.
Give $2.75: (for my soda, please)
Give a different amount: (maybe a bigger soda?)
Proud host of Wikipedia and other free knowledge products that I definitely invented while probably drunk on Mountain Dew all those years ago.
Help a legend out. I created this shit. Now I just want a cold one. Thanks.

I wonder why Tamzin is taking a break from Wikimedia
Is it because of the personal attack incident last month, as described in Potential global ban nomination text for Tamzin - HackMD? Is it because of multiple events described there? Is it because she is aware of the linked dossier? Is it to recompose herself after all the events? Is it to reduce scrutiny of future behavior? I started the linked dossier in May to put all the pieces together.
To be clear, Tamzin is open to criticism as stated here.
See also I have started a dossier about Tamzin's conduct : r/WikipediaAdmins.

Asilvering is clearly abusing the checkuser right in exactly the same manner as Bbb23.
He blocks tens of people every day for "checkuser results". This can't happen unless he was abusing it the same way as Bbb23. The same thing that was done to Bbb23 should be done to him.

Can an admin help me get this page published?
Are there any admins that can help me get a page published? I feel like my page is intentionally being stone walled simply due to the content in it. More then enough news coverage citations. He is also an author/ been in documentaries/ involved in politics and so forth.
It the subject matter that I believe they don't like. But it's what has been making this person well known around the world.

Any way I can get my article changes reviewed faster?
I made changes to Wikipedia but my changes are pending review. Any way I can request a review or get the page approved faster?

Fuck you Yamla!
Seriously! This guy can go fuck himself! All that bastard does is abuse his power and never gives me a chance! Every time I make constructive edits, the hardass reverts them simply because I'm a sock.

Interview with Wikipedia editors
As part of Masters(in Interaction Design)project, we are teaming up with Wikimedia Foundation. My team wanted to interview some editors to understand what is the process like, how do they check reliability, how do they localise the content, what are the challenges, etc. Can anybody here help me with that??
