Controversy
Throughout the main wiki, Edwin has become one of the most controversial users due to his use of sockpuppetry following a six-month ban by Vel!, which was enacted shortly after Edwin had received a one-week ban by Cloudy176 for harassment of another user, and overall being a jerk. Edwin only has one well known unblocked sockpuppet as of this edit, which is an account on Googology For Everyone called Psilent Killer, although he may have others that the users are simply not privy too. DrCocktor/PiJayk has been confirmed by the Googology Discord server to be someone other than Edwin.

About four days after the six-month ban, Edwin joined the wiki with one of his early sockpuppets, posting a blog entitled An Important Announcement on February 19, 2018, where he apologized for his prior behavior. He felt it was in the best interests of the wiki that he be allowed to continue contributing, and is hence why he did not abide by the block. This was to no avail however, as on February 24, 2018 he was blocked for three months by founder Vel!.
