- This is the key to tying the ring to established editor Soxrock. This little-used account started editing furiously on August 1, 2007 at 22:48 UTC, exactly three minutes after Soxrock became inactive for the day. (Soxrock usually edited heavily until around 02:00 UTC each morning). NBAonNBC edited the talk archive of banned user Tecmobowl (talk · contribs) trying to piece together the fragmented history. He was suddenly blocked on August 2 at 01:09 UTC by Ryulong (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) who thought he was Tecmobowl (which, by the way, I don't believe). NBAonNBC's last talk page edit was on August 2 at 03:50 so the autoblock was presumably set to expire on August 3 at 03:50. Soxrock, who usually resumed editing between 11:00 and 13:00 UTC each day, never started editing on August 3. When asked a question on his talk page, he responded just 14 minutes later. A few responses later, he admitted to being caught in an autoblock and said it would expire on August 3 at 03:50 - exactly 24 hours after NBAonNBC's last edit. He lied and said that the autoblock was from a six-day old block with no possible relation (blockee was a sock of someone who edited from a different region of the country entirely). (He later added that he returned from home around 9:09 which, in EDT, is exactly when NBAonNBC was blocked. Not sure what that means).
- Notably, despite claiming innocence, Soxrock never requested to be released from the autoblock. When asked about it, the response did not address the fact.
- FoxSportsRadio (talk · contribs):
- Created George Bodenheimer as an attack page with an apologetic edit summary. When it was nominated for speedy deletion, Soxrock appeared to remove the speedy and expand, thereby solidifying the attack revision in history.
- Admitted that User:NBAonNBC is a sock.
- Double voting at AFD and the six-way voting above.
- TheUSCTrojan (talk · contribs): User:NBAonNBC admitted that they share an IP. Last edit was after weeks of inactivity in support of an idea that was proposed by Soxrock and agreed to by other socks here.
- 71.99.83.251 (talk · contribs · WHOIS):
- Soxrock claims this address on his user page.
- Unable to move Millennium Dome as an IP on March 20, 2007 so he logged in as User:TheUSCTrojan and did the move while logged in. Then logged out and continued editing.
- The USCTrojan also made a strange edit to User talk:71.99.83.251.
- Sarah Goldberg (talk · contribs) (WP:CHU'ed from User:Catherine Woods): User:NBAonNBC let slip that Sarah Goldberg's e-mail is the same as User:FoxSportsRadio's (explained here). As a further tie, on August 11, 2006, FoxSportsRadio uploaded Image:Juarezmuerte.jpg, a gruesome picture of a woman with her face burned off (added to his user page here but the image was since deleted). On February 2, 2007, Sarah Goldberg/Catherine Woods uploaded the exact same image as Image:Femicide.jpg. (That image was also deleted).
- A. Shakespeare (talk · contribs): Requested to be released from an autoblock caused by SoxrockProjects being 3RR-blocked on July 18, 2007. Also obviously the same as User:Sarah Goldberg using this odd move as evidence.
- TheUltimateImageUploader (talk · contribs): Only remaining edit is in support of an issue supported by five other accounts listed here.
- Darren Allen (talk · contribs): Userpage redirected to User:Catherine Woods. Catherine Woods was later WP:CHUed to User:Sarah Goldberg.
- Mrjiggyfly1121 (talk · contribs): Blocked as vandalism-only account with an unblock note added by User:TheUSCTrojan. Crazy Canadian (talk · contribs), an admitted sock on Soxrock's user page, removes a block notice at User talk:Soxrock with an edit summary "It's expired, the IP I have had a 24-hour block because of MrJiggifly1121".
- MrJiggifly (talk · contribs): Only edit was vandalism to User:Soxrock.
- 71.99.127.127 (talk · contribs · WHOIS): Around the Horn, NASCAR on NBC, NBA on NBC, User:TheUSCTrojan adds an unblock note to User:Mrjiggyfly1121 claiming to be hacked by this IP.
