Yes, of course, I shouldn't of left that out. I was invited to get an account by atleast 3 people, namely one individual who has "low patience" for anon editors. Fair enough, so I started up an accout, Neztielz. Unfortunatly, it was very late, and had some beer, so did not realise that Neztielz was an inappropriate name violating naming policy. PLAK, on the otherhand, I created with the hope of bringing peoples attention to the parts of the article that were full of misinformation and serious pov problems. The Cuba article is suffering through an extended fight between two groups of editors, and nothing is getting accomplished. I felt if i could just focus attention on some of the serious problems, perhaps some progress could be made. For example the infrastructure section literally only adresses positives prior to the revolution, and negatives following it. In reality, Cubas infrastrucure has grown, and continues to do so. While Cuba is behind in areas such as
telecommunications, in other areas it is doing quite well. While the actual edits made by PLAK were a little unscroupulous, I never used a secondary account to back up my work, or make others look bad.

That's an interesting story, brian, but it doesn't explain why you
first edited with an IP address, then had to create three separate
userids to edit that page, Neztielz, PLAK, and Mystork, before finally
using your real account Colle.

it, please give me a hand!

I ended up coming crawling back---but I was only going to edit one
article (Cuba). I read the article before I went to Cuba, so it has a bit
of sentimental value to me, but I digress. So I made a new account
rather than dig up the old password. Over a day or two I did some edits,
worked on a sandbox, and signed a RFC. Unfortunatly I was labled a
sockpuppet by an avatar and another user because I had unfortunatly appeared
minutes after a high-profile editor was banned indefinatly. So... I
went and found my old accounts password (very lucky), and then used that
account to prove I wasn't a sockpuppet by removing the "suspected
sockpuppet of.." template from my new userpage, and replacing it with one
stating "this user is the legitimate sock puppet of Colle." The next day
Sarah indef banned my legitimate sockpuppet, and gave me a 12
> hour break from editing. I've tried to explain the situation, but I
haven't had much progress getting back from her lately. I really don't
want people thinking I intentionally mess around with the system --it
is just how it happened. Also, I really didn't break any rules that I
know of. Thanks a bunch!
