Most people do not use their extra accounts to be disruptive, and therefore a justifiable value judgement is made among arbitrators, as to the disruptiveness of a user's editing patterns. "Sock puppetry" as Andrew said, is limited in definition to the use of extra accounts to engage in misrepresentation and disruption.

From the arbitration policy page:
Arbitrators with multiple accounts on Wikipedia will disclose the usernames of those accounts to the rest of the committee, and to Jimbo Wales, but are not required to disclose them publicly.
I am surprised....I have been told that folks are not supposed to have more than one account on Wikipedia.
Yet this seems to indicate that having more than one account is not unexpected.
Help.
