 * Do not recruit meatpuppets. It is considered highly inappropriate to advertise articles to your friends, family members, or communities of people who agree with you, so that they come and support your side.

Meatpuppetry is a term meaning the recruitment of (usually new) editors to join a discussion on behalf of another editor, usually with the aim of persuading others to vote in that way, or gain extra scoring in a discussion or voting system.

Meatpuppetry gives a misleading impression of participation in the discussion, and of the support and opposition to different views expressed. The recruitment of new editors for the sole purpose of influencing a discussion or vote is strongly discouraged.
