The "MikeMangini" account (not to be confused with Mike Mangini, current drummer of Dream Theater whom the account is named after) is adding citations and links to the website metalwani.com, in an effort to promote the website (example). This is similar in style to the account, named after Mike Portnoy, former drummer of Dream Theater. Other dormant accounts adding metalwani links include  and. Also, there should be an emphasis about a zero tolerance policy of impersonation. Mungo Kitsch 23:42, 18 January 2013 (UTC) Mungo Kitsch 23:42, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Did you get the StonedJesus username correct? That user has no edits. Someguy1221 (talk) 03:42, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
 * The "Stonedjesus" account was initially incorrect, because I had capitalized the "J" in "Jesus", even though the username has no such capital. I have corrected the text accordingly. Mungo Kitsch 06:13, 19 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Obvious socks or joint-spammers blocked and tagged. I've also blacklisted the link, which has not been added by anyone but spammers. I'll put the case on hold pending an answer to my previous question. Someguy1221 (talk) 03:50, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Now all known socks are blocked and tagged. Website is blacklisted, so hopefully this shouldn't be a problem in the future. Someguy1221 (talk) 08:25, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
