I believe that the users Olsonman and Darth Haco are one and the same. Here is my reasoning:
- According to their userpages' history, they are from the same place.
- According to their contribs, their activities on the wiki are eerily similar. (LEGO Star Wars)
- They have edited each others' userpages.
Could the administration look into this, please?—Graestan(This party's over) 19:41, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- If they are from the same place, it is irrelevant because they could be siblings, family, friends, etc. My brother edited Wookieepedia for a short time.—Darthtyler

- Except it's unlikely three LEGO-worshippers would be born in the same place, yet live somewhere else, is it not? -- AdmirableAckbar [Talk] 20:10, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Um, no its not. They could easily be friends that both collect LEGOs.—Darthtyler Talk 20:12, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- I put this on the administrators' noticeboard so that the administrators could see it and look into the matter.—Graestan(This party's over) 20:17, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- But still, I'm pointing something out that the admins may overlook.—Darthtyler Talk 20:18, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- That's some truly twisted logic you've got there. So, say the checkuser establishes them as from the same IP. What do you propose, let them off because they might be identical triplets? -- AdmirableAckbar [Talk] 20:22, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Yes. Angela told me that once.—Darthtyler Talk 20:23, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- And you're probably going to want this as evidence.—Darthtyler Talk 20:27, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- You do realize that's a link to some dinosaur wiki related discussion? Anyway, that is nonsense. This thread was never intended to be a "sibling users" discussion, so please just drop it. -- AdmirableAckbar [Talk] 20:44, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Oops, sorry...Look more down and you'll see what I meant. I thought this was a discussion on the matter of two users being the same person.—Darthtyler Talk 20:49, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

I had no idea, Darthtyler, that you were Olsonman's dedicated wiki-lawyer.—Graestan(This party's over) 20:33, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- What are you talking about?—Darthtyler Talk 20:34, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- As if more evidence was needed: Haco also is very up to date with Olsonman's LEGO collection, and Olsonrljr may well be another sock. Alternatively, they're just three LEGO fanatics who live in Tacoma, but were born in Seattle, and all want the list of characters back on LSW:TCS. If so, my humble apologies. -- AdmirableAckbar [Talk] 20:10, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Funny you should say this, because I had suspected the same thing at one time. I based my suspicions on the fact that (without looking) they seem to both be German speakers, and their posts are of similar (poor) caliber. I also thought it strange when, I believe it was Olsonman, strangely sent a "welcome" message to the other user's talk page. I wondered how he had known so quickly that the user was new, and it just kind of seemed like they were in cahoots. Toprawa and Ralltiir 20:26, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Guys, leave off it, okay? Unless it's more evidence and good evidence at that, leave it alone. The admins have noticed and will take care of the situation; thank you for bringing it to our attention. Atarumaster88

- Olsonman admitted it on IRC (though he did go for the "He's my twin" angle):
