Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Acorn Publications, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Acorn Mobility. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted or removed.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Stop adding pointless, improperly formatted requests to this page. Users know it needs a cleanup due to COI issues, stop trying to add tags that don't work, and also remove the content of the article. Leave the article alone, suggest changes/improvements at the talkpage, in a clear, concise manner (not just saying "cleanup"). Joseph2302 ( talk) 14:42, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Acorn Mobility, you may be blocked from editing. That tag doesn't work, and isn't true- the article needs cleanup due to the COI edits by you and your IP editors. Stop adding broken, pointless, incorrect tags to this page.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Acorn Mobility. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.
If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges.
If you add this meaningless tag again, I will report you to the edit warring board. Joseph2302 ( talk) 14:44, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
Hello. Please stop adding the tag since it doesn't apply. {{cleanup}} is used for requesting a cleanup, i.e. for asking other editors to step in and remove problems in the article, not for declaring that an article is "clean", which is what you seem to think, judging by the reason you gave in the tag. Most of the problems with unencyclopaedic/promotional content and shaky references in the article have already been taken care of, and there are many eyes on it, so adding a cleanup-tag to the article will only confuse people. Thank you. Thomas.W talk 14:55, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising again, as you did at Wikipedia:Requested articles/Business and economics/Companies, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Joseph2302 ( talk) 15:37, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
