Thank you for the information in this thread. I do appreciate receiving information about concerns on the wiki.

To be clear, a sockpuppet to me is "an alternative account made by a user with a malicious purpose, for example to skew voting or otherwise manipulate conversations."

Neither the KA Wiki Chat Bot nor Alexander Pond are official bots on this wiki. Anyone who thinks they might be is not doing their own due diligence and research. If I set up an account and called myself "S-Khan" or "P-Fox" or "B-Eater" I hope that everyone would research before they actually believed my username.

I know nothing about the KA Wiki Chat Bot except that it is not a bot on our wiki. I do know Alexander Pond was an attempt to create a bot that was done several months ago. It might have different privileges on a different wiki, but here it is just a user account.

The APond account has a total of 24 edits since it's activation here, and on quick review they do not appear malicious. The KA Wiki Chat Bot has only two edits.

I do not know what these accounts do in the chat, but I do not see any malicious action here. If you have concerns about how these user accounts are behaving in chat, please let me or another member of the admin team know.

Thank you again for you assistance on the KA Wiki.
