It's redolent of meatpuppeting, yes.

And now WDS even asked for a specific edit to be made, saying what the text currently says and what WDS would like to have it changed to. (I won't repeat the request here, because I don't want to help out with the meatpuppeting.)

Well, it's either meatpuppeting or an attempt at getting their ban lifted.

Either way though, since it's on Edit Banned the mods will deal with it. Let's not popcorn.

Wow. Attempting to meatpuppet in the Edit Banned thread. No wonder they got banned.

I'm pretty sure it's not meatpuppeting because they aren't making a certain person do any edits. It comes across as an appeal attempt, naming a specific way they could productively contribute to the wiki. It's up to the mods to decide if it's an actually effective appeal, because non-mods commenting publicly on Edit Banned feels typically unnecessary.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

Well, the mods just thumped WDS's posts in the thread, so it seems like that particular problem has been solved.
