[WikiEN-l] Meatpuppet and WP:DUCK policy concerns

[Jay Litwyn]

The meatpuppet supposition is wrong. In order to get a meatpuppet (and I do 
not think very many people work as any kind of puppet), first you hav to 
state your case to someone who is not an administrator and get them to side 
with you. In the simple case, you would submit your edit to them via e-mail 
and say: Would you do this for me? (Why should I?) A lot of wikipedians 
don't read their e-mail. Supposing someone to be a puppet goes against the 
assumption of good faith. It's like assuming that someone set up a bot 
account to mask submissions from anyone.

Blocked users are supervised. They get to pick their supervisor.
