Here type an intro instead of this text.

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.

None proscribed that I know of.
