Firstly, I'd like to point to Requests for comment/User_conduct/Assistance, which is an on-going discussion of user User:Swankytank. There, there two accounts used to harass user User:Ronnie42. Both of the accounts interacted with him on that RFC page , on his talk page , and then with each other. One is User:Jimminy_Swiggles - whose talk page is a copy of User talk:Jolley2662, (edit happened here ) and user page is a copy of User:Dawynn (copied here . His other account, which appears to be a sleeper, is User:Stronger Than Paul. &#124;&#124; Tako (talk) 00:19, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Both Swankytank and Stronger Than Paul accounts have referred to Ronnie42 as Ronald,, ,. The third diff example shows Swankytank change from 'Ronald' to 'Ronnie'. (Why?) &#124;&#124; Tako (talk) 01:52, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

I just found another account, user:Williamsburgland, which seems to be the same person as Swankytank, the account is old and inactive, so I've added it to the sockpuppets, rather than make it the main account. (I dunno if that's the correct thing to do, but, it's there for information.) He has had encounters with Ronnie before, in June of 2012, to the point where Williamsburgland listed Ronnie42 at ANI. . Apparently, he's returned with a multitude of sockpuppet accounts simply to get back at Ronnie42. &#124;&#124; Tako (talk) 01:27, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Both accounts - Stronger Than Paul, and Jimminy Swiggles were created on the same day, when Williamsburgland 'retired'. The Swankytank account's first edit was on an article that Williamsburgland was quite invested in. &#124;&#124; Tako (talk) 01:35, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Swankytank replied to this very SPI under an IP - user:76.28.87.5 - and then later changed his signature to his account. This IP is apparently blocked from editing, and yet is also Swankytank. This IP has vandalized the Nifelheim page with personal attacks used towards a user Williamsburgland and Swankytank both had issues with. &#124;&#124; Tako (talk) 01:50, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Two users that apparently have issues with lots, and I mean lots, of people. Also, while I admit I forgot to sign back in this IP is a LAN, and looking at the edit history I've got to say I'm not the only one who uses it.
 * Also - it's odd that you and Ronnie both joined in 2007, both edit sporadically, both made some immature edits in your formative wiki years and both seem to be interested in the same content.
 * I've said all I'm going to say - I am not using any other screen names and I don't see any evidence that I am. If any of those other users are fine... whatever. It's just wikipedia. --Swankytank (talk) 02:02, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Comments by other users
''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' I feel this is a bad faith request, but by all means perform a check user. I ask that you also perform a check user on the contributor above as well as Ronnie42, as he seems to be unusually invested in this dispute. --Swankytank (talk) 01:10, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Also, just a note - this guy didn't bother to follow rule seven of the guide on opening a sock puppet investigation, he just likes yelling at people. I'll remind him to notify the other users, as well as anyone else he feels like linking to my account. --Swankytank (talk) 01:13, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * So now that Takuy has had a chance to follow the rule and I've had a chance to look at the users I am, you know, abusing, I see that there's one guy who started here on December 26 and as I've already said, got scared off by Ronnie, one guy who made made a bunch of edits on the 29th of January, including a bogus warning on my page, and another guy who hasn't done anything here since June. WTF. I checked both the tools above and they say we've all edited on ROnnie's page... am I the same person as everyone who's contributed to his page? Seriously, check me by all means, but check Takuy and Ronnie too. --Swankytank (talk) 01:32, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

 * - Requesting checkuser only on and, who are obviously not newbies. Jimminy started contributing to RfC/U on his first day, and Paul by his third edit. They are clearly someone's socks, and disruptive ones at that. Someguy1221 (talk) 23:23, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
 * ✅ =  = . Jimminy is (by a couple of hours) the oldest of the three. . ​—DoRD (talk)​ 00:34, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
 * This case was originally opened under Swankytank, but has been moved here. Someguy1221 (talk) 00:53, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
 * In addition the technical evidence, I consider the sockfarm behaviorally identical to Williamsburgland, who has been blocked indefinitely for using socks to harass other editors. Someguy1221 (talk) 00:55, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
