Seriously? STAY OUT.

I'll give you the same advice I've given others who are experts in a very specialized field: create your own website and fill it with rare information not already on Wikipedia. Force them to come to you.

hard to argue with that imo. but i can offer practical advice:
1. use mobile tethering
2. use an agent switcher or just use a different browser

using that advice you could probably avoid most problems, even with CU fishing.

for more elaborate socking, or sock networks, see here for behavioral/persona, but not a lot on sidestepping checkuser. Vigilant gave a very useful list at WPO, including the use of virtual machines and live disks but i cant find it. this post did turn up in search results, but its not the one i was thinking of. maybe they thought better of it and deleted it. :shrug:

Even better, switch to Justapedia and start anew.

Keep a low profile. That's the only way to survive Wiki. There's no other way.
