If you want to differentiate yourself from him, do so: make yourself useful, contribute to the community.

- @Diannaa: It's unfortunate that that still hasn't been fixed. See A bug in early Creative Commons Licences etc. It's unlikely that I'm going to be able to get the source to roll back to the insecure version of the license, but I'll see what I can do.

Scot Kerns controversy
Hello, I have noticed that I've been flagged by you as an alleged sock puppet of Scot Kerns. Is there some way that I can demonstrate that I am not actually him, and that when I initially created the article about him, I was acting in good faith? I don't know what he may have done to edit the article after I made it, but I haven't touched it in about a year. messor (talk) 04:57, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
- Being a sock puppet isn't fixable, beyond just not doing that anymore. Being an undisclosed connected editor, and a single purpose account, however, are fixable. Declare your connection on your user page and pick an area where you think you can help, and get to work. BurritoTunnelMaintenance (talk) 09:37, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
- I may be mistaken, but isn't a "sock puppet" a term for multiple accounts used by the same person? In this case, how was I ever a sock puppet? I only have this one account. Whatever Scot himself did was out of my control, which was my point. It sounded to me like the issue here is that the article was going to be deleted due to having been autobiographical, which it wasn't originally. Also, when I first submitted the article, it did say that I knew Scot personally, but that notice seems to have disappeared. If I have no intention of touching the article again, is it necessary to still have it? messor (talk) 21:31, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
