Users are permitted to use multiple accounts for some purposes, but not others.

Sockpuppetry on WickedGov is inappropriate use of alternative accounts.

Permitted uses edit

Undisclosed alternative accounts edit

In some cases, undisclosed alternative accounts may also be permitted. Examples include, but are not limited to:

  • Disclosed alternative accounts: These are almost always permitted. To disclose an alternative account, put a prominent notice on both your main and alternative user page.
  • Privacy reasons: Some users may want to avoid real-world consequences of editing certain controversial articles. Using undisclosed alternative accounts to avoid this is permitted, as long as a user does not edit with multiple accounts in the same topic area.
