Rhinostampede and Gordon24Fan have very similar behavior and editing patterns. Both include false userboxes or awards (Claims to be an admin and have won awards despite having few edits and almost none in the subject matter, Claims to have helped promote an article to GA status that is currently a Start Class article), both claim a strong interest in NASCAR, Jeff Gordon and the television series 24, both claim to be 15 year-olds from North Carolina and both have very similar layouts on their user page. As for editing, both have a history of placing dubious vandalism warnings and removing vandalism warnings on their own page. Both users have a history of adding trivial details to Wikipedia pages (another example for Rhino, many more can be observed by browsing through the contributions of each user). He accused someone else of being Thechroniclesofratman, who Gordon24Fan was originally accused of being (I have no idea who that is, which is why I've identified Gordon24Fan as the puppet master). Also suspicious is the fact that the user very quickly discovered RfA and that he contacted me to help him fix his userbox, which Gordon24Fan had done before. Not conclusive by any means of course, but cause for suspicion - why would a user who had never interacted with me previously and hasn't edited anything remotely near to what I usually edit ask me for help?
 * Evidence

Your statements are absolutely false. 1. Gordon24fan is 15 iam 14. 2 NASCAR is a Southern sport and is liked by many Southern people. 3. I edit articles that recently show up on foxnews or Yahoo sports. 4 I never claimed to be an admin i requested to be one which is completely opposite than claiming to be one sir. 5 Those vandalism warnings were not dubious they were needed those vandals were posting things that said for example "Jeff Gordon is a homosexual fag" We don't need that kind of language on a public encyclopedia. My job on Wikipedia is to stop vandalism not just watch it. 6 I have a very strict policy on vandalism and i have zero tolerance for any type of vandalism. No excuses. 7. Sebastien93 used 3 of the 5 IP's used by The Chronicles of Ratman. That got me suspicious. 8. I removed the vandalism from my page because I'm not the one who committed the vandalism. The person who committed the vandalism was 76.242.53.75 who changed ==2008 season== to Fatass's 2008 season. We don't need vulgar behavior here on Wikipedia. Together with all Wikipedia members we can stop vandalism once and for all. 9. I request that Tony Stewart be protected to prevent further vandalism. I hope you guys join me to make Wikipedia once again a reliable source.(Rhinostampede (talk) 19:24, 23 March 2008 (UTC))

 * That's funny, you were 15 a couple of hours ago. Discovered the fountain of youth, did we? I didn't claimed that this account claimed to be an admin, I said the fake userboxers were the same between both accounts. I didn't say all your vandalism warnings were dubious, but some of them were, as can be clearly seen on your talk page. If you suspect another user of being a sockpuppet, blanking their page and replacing it with "gopsjgf" and an accusation is not the way to deal with it. And on and on. No matter how you try and defend your actions, any looking at both sets of contributions will see critical parallels worthy of a sockpuppet accusation. Cheers, CP 19:57, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Your accusations are no where near worthy if you have false statements. I replaced his page so he couldn't get the info back to disrupt people. There is no one not even 1 that is going to back you.(Rhinostampede (talk) 21:17, 23 March 2008 (UTC)) That wasn't a vandalism warning that was noting that he might be associated with The Chronicles of Ratman warning. BIG DIFFERENCE. If you look at my editing pattern i waste about 3 to 4 hours a day reverting vandalism that is how hard I work to make this source once again reliable. It isn't yet, but it will be soon.(Rhinostampede (talk) 21:21, 23 March 2008 (UTC)) You are mistaken Ryan Stiles O'Hara the other Ryan O'Hara is Ryan Anthony O'Hara.(Rhinostampede (talk) 00:56, 24 March 2008 (UTC))
 * I don't remember how I exactly how I stumbled across this user other than reverting the vandalism he did to User:Sebastian98's user page. However, the whole "Ryan O'Hara" (  vs.  - same birthdate, same middle name ) aspect caught my attention because of vandalism I witnessed on the Ryan O'Hara article back in June-ish of last year and all the false links being made to that article (replacing his name as an actor in many movies).  I actually submitted an abuse report at one point (before I really knew what I was doing on here).  Anyway, after doing my own mini-investigation, I have to agree, these are all the same users (IP addresses).  The similarities are too unique to be a coincidence.

 * Actually, you're partially right (you looked at the middle name of the Ryan O'Hara rugby player, though). The middle name was never put into the fake Ryan O'Hara article, and the birthdate is actually different by one date.  However, my conclusion still stands.  Another interesting tidbit:  both claim to be actors:   and race car drivers . Jauerbackdude?/dude. 01:36, 24 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Is that why you added your name to all those movies? Jauerbackdude?/dude. 19:49, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

I didn't add my name to those movies though someone put my name in and erased some other guy.(Rhinostampede (talk) 21:09, 24 March 2008 (UTC))
