Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of LynnWysong

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice that Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of LynnWysong, a page that you created, has been tagged for deletion. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It is unambiguous vandalism or an obvious hoax. (See section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please do not introduce inappropriate pages to Wikipedia; doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. —/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 16:36, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

@Mendaliv: The SPI case was raised in good faith as I believed that the connection was too obvious. However, LynnWysong has pointed out that an erroneous connection was made before for much the same reason and was exonerated. I naturally, bow to superior wisdom, and will investigate if (as creator) I can delete the page myself. If I cannot, I have no problem with you deleting it on my behalf as creator.

So, how is it, with eight whole edits under your belt in over a year, did you happen to show up at MBW's ANI? Lynn (SLW) (talk) 17:30, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

@LynnWysong: You are jumping to erroneous conclusions. I normally edit from an IP address. That IP address is dynamic so it changes every time I log on. Like anyone who has a dynamic IP, I have no control over this. I have many more than eight edits from previous IPs. ForSPI (talk) 17:38, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

So, you're saying those are your edits from that IP, because you are intermittently assigned that IP?Lynn (SLW) (talk) 17:59, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

@LynnWysong: Not quite. Only the latest edit is. The previous ones are from someone else who was allocated the IP address previously. That is how dynamic IP addressing works. In fact: it looks like three Wikipedia editors have had it. ForSPI (talk) 18:07, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

ForSPI seems to indicate some official relationship with WP:SPI. Could you please go to WP:CHU and change your name? Beyond My Ken (talk) 19:47, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
