This is a curious case that may involve a compromised account. User:YogiBird was created on 16 January, and immediately created the hoax article Cliff Diver, just caught and deleted. Aside from linking the supposed actor's page to it, that was the only action made by this account. It would have been just another SPA that comes, has its lulz, and goes, except two days later User:Thorblood, inactive since February 2011, appeared to upload a supposed theatrical poster for the hoax, along with adding it and an infobox to the hoax's article. It's obvious that the two accounts are somehow connected, but the "resurrection" of Thorblood makes me pause on a duck-based block; requesting CU to sort out what's going on here.
