Did you know …

… what a "sock puppet" is?

No??? – Strange, are you sure that you are a Wikimedian? – In any case, you can look it up now. No, not (only) in "the dictionary the anyone can edit", but also in the more traditional "Merriam Webster's 2009 dictionary of English". It says it is "a word to describe a false account used for deceptive purposes".
