Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Piccadillysquare reported by User:Mztourist regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you.

Request for Comment and Context

@Ivanvector: I am based around a number of different countries in Asia as part of my day job in journalism, and based for extended periods of time in communist and authoritarian countries which actively monitor foreigners for using Wikipedia and will not risk getting my visa revoked. Why would it be a crime itself, to use a VPN? I don't really get how you can see that anything I am writing is disruptive, go ahead and look at the reporting users' edit history or reasons why he would edit pages on war crimes, atrocities, and so-on. They are almost entirely edit attempts to delete things, obscure things, and so-on. I mean just look at his recent edit calling Stanley Karnow a communist here [1].

@Ivanvector: Second question, I don't see the logic of why a registered user would use a VPN, exclusively as being evidence of being a sockpuppet. It serves absolutely no purpose since the account is tied to the edit, not the IP, and the edit isn't made through the VPN IP. I don't see why some guy in Canada just doesn't make an account and continue using his canadian IP without a VPN. The VPN part isn't necessary for sockpuppeting, especially multiple, different VPN IPs. Piccadillysquare (talk) 07:53, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
