Edits to policy pages during a disagreement

Just don't do this kind of thing again, please. You made an inappropriate and unjustified accusation at AN/I because you weren't really familiar with the nuances of 'meatpuppetry', and someone called you on it. Take your lumps, apologize for your mistake, move on. This sort of comment helps neither you nor your arguments.

For your future reference, meatpuppetry involves deliberate coordination – either covertly off-wiki, or through inappropriate on-wiki canvassing – of two or more editors' contributions in order to circumvent restrictions on edit warring and reverting, and/or (particularly where new and/or inexperienced accounts participate) in order to generate a misleading appearance of consensus through strength of numbers. Meatpuppetry is considered a violation of the sockpuppetry policy, and is treated harshly on the project. Casually misusing the term to describe other editors' actions is needlessly inflammatory and is itself a violation of Wikipedia's user conduct policies. Note particularly that the simple fact two editors might agree about something (and disagree with you) does not rise to the level of 'meatpuppetry' or other misconduct.

You may be blocked if you continue to misuse the term 'meatpuppet' to describe other editors who are working in good faith. Similarly, you almost certainly will be blocked if you ever again try to rewrite a Wikipedia policy page in order to 'win' a policy disgreement.

In the event that you find yourself the lone individual on one side of an edit war involving a BLP, you may cautiously employ the safe harbor provisions of WP:BLP to exceed three reverts per day as a stopgap measure—but I would strongly recommend seeking the assistance and advice of other editors through an appropriate forum like the BLP noticeboard, instead.
