[edit]Here type an intro instead of this text.
Definition
[edit]Put some ideas here too.
When is it good, what is good about it?
[edit]And what do you think?
When is it a problem, what is bad about it?
[edit]etc...
Should it be allowed, and when?
[edit]Go on, keep typing, you can do it!
What can be done to prevent it?
[edit]Anything?
What problems might arise if people try to prevent sock-puppeting?
[edit]I can think of some, eg it might become hard to submit articles anonymously, Wikinews might start asking for a drivers license to edit articles.
Actions to be taken
[edit]None proscribed that I know of.
