 * It seems the master abandoned their account after being blocked, and switched to the sock. Blocked and tagged the sock per WP:DUCK. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 15:13, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

A long absence, but suddenly this account pops up with a similar username string ("98") and performing the same sort of editing - adding made-up information about race teams, including one created from whole cloth. And with a telltale slip confirming it - a "Big Energy" listed as sponsor, which was an article the master had made and got speedied. and blocked, with the master indef'd as well (despite its long quiescence, it's the only way to be sure) as being clearly WP:NOTHERE. No CU requested or needed as the master and original sock are long since stale and moldy, but reporting it for the record. The Bushranger One ping only 18:48, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

 * The following edits made by previous accounts shows consistency with this users vandalism. This is also the former user 98zantilas (if I spelled that correctly) The addresses both are from Colombia, all accounts have edited aspects pertaining to NASCAR, and all of the above editors have attempted to create the page of TS Motorsports in some fashion or another and always labels his fanmade teams under the ownership of Thomas Vargas. Given that it is completely unsourced and unverifiable, and that his previous edits were also labeled as by THomas Vargras, I determined that Thomy98 is a sockpuppet and has no desire to constructively edit. I, as an editor for the NaSCAR section, am sick and tired of this user vandalizing the pages we've all worked hard on and would like to see him banned indefinitely, as I hope the evidence will show that this user will not learn to be a responsible editor. As well, all of his IPs are 201.184.xx.xxx or something, coming from Bogota. The user seems to have a poor grasp of English, mixing in Spanish words. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_dhabi_rally_cross_team
 * In response to the merged comment: there's no grounds for a ban yet, however both the master and the socks are now indefinitly WP:BLOCKed. - The Bushranger One ping only 19:47, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
