Hjc2010 is a SPA that appeared to make an article on Chris Vlok, a New Zealand racing driver of borderline-at-best notability and with a whiff of promotion around the article (the user is clearly at least associated with Vlok). A comment was made on WT:MOTORSPORT that the article might have notability problems, and that was that for about a week - before Wikimod12 appeared today, signing up and two minutes later removing the section at WT:MOTORSPORT with the edit summary "removed due to defamatory remarks" - clearly with the intent of impersonating an admin and squelching discussion about non-notability of Vlok. Given this the quacking is rather loud that these two accounts belong to the same user, but a check is requested for confirmation before taking any action on the sock front.
