 * This is evidently a result of my request for comment here: Talk:%22Polish_death_camp%22_controversy, so I'm guessing Poeticbent doesn't like me. Regarding above edits: IP user is me (not logged in), Senescent isn't. Happy to explain individual edits if asked to by admins. Rapido (talk) 09:33, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Just an addendum to respond to this "Logs on and off deliberately in order to circumvent pending WP:3RR sanctions for continuous edit warring across articles." - not true, I usually don't log in because I am not a regular editor any more, just a few edits here and there. I deliberately logged in for this article and the other one (where I became more involved than usual) so that I can be identified as one single user, as the IP address changes periodically. The contrary of the accusation. I claim to be the same person as the two IP users, however none of the edits have broken 3RR in 24 hours.
 * Regarding the edit on Medina House, I actually partially reverted the change by "Senescent", so I'm not sure why I've been accused to be that user. As per WP:SI, "Evidence is required. When you open the investigation, you must immediately provide evidence that the suspected sock puppets are connected. The evidence will need to include diffs of edits that suggest the accounts are connected". This hasn't occurred in this case.
 * For the above two reasons, I don't think it was appropriate for Poeticbent to open an investigation. I think it's revenge for questioning their edits. I'm astounded that they spent hours going over my edits dating back to 9 years ago to apparently show "identical behaviour" (The Thameside Radio edits are nothing to do with sockpuppetry, simply ancient copyvio & original research that has been long resolved). However I'm happy for someone to checkuser, as I have nothing to hide regarding this matter. Rapido (talk) 11:17, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
This SPI filing is absurd. So, Poeticbent is unahppy that Rapido caught him out with some pretty outrageous tendentious editing at "Polish death camp" controversy. In response, he brings forward complaints about two entirely unrelated articles. In one of them, from September, Rapido first makes an edit while logged out, and then further pursues the matter with his logged-in account once he finds opposition. Some reverting over the course of several days, but nothing that would bring up a "sock" issue. The edits at Thameside Radio are from 2007(!)–2010, again completely unrelated to anything, no relation to any suspicion of socking whatsoever, and no signs even of any disruptive activities (all the edits are evidently well-considered, responsible attempts at ensuring article quality). The suspicion against User:Senescent is entirely baseless. This is a frivolous filing, which, in connection with the filer's clearly disruptive editing at the Polish article that evidently sparked the conflict, ought to lead to boomerang sanctions.

 * Editing the same page with different accounts and/or IPs is not allowed, and that is what you were doing. I am not going to block you because it was not severe enough, but take this as a last warning. Closing the case.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  01:03, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
