 * I believe the actual sockmaster may indeed be User:PhanuelB. The written piece that these puppets were trying to promote was written by him. He has decried abuse and wants to raise issues with four admins in particular. The only pro-Knox advocate that was blocked by JamesBWatson (actually, he turned the talk page and email access off) was PhanuelB and the fact that this sock was naming him is telling. A question for a checkuser, when Phanuel was editing this summer was he using an open proxy? Are there matches between him and the above named socks? ⋙–Berean–Hunter—►  15:01, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
 * User:PhanuelB is, so CheckUser can't help there. WilliamH (talk) 15:09, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
 * His last edit was on 30 June 2011. That is beyond the retained data for checkuser or is it considered stale for a different reason? Cheers, ⋙–Berean–Hunter—►  15:14, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Nope, you got it. WilliamH (talk) 15:17, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I note that Phanuel used 69.183.26.238 if that is helpful. ⋙–Berean–Hun<b style="color:#00C">ter—►</b>  15:34, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
based on technical evidence. The user is using open proxies, blocking now. Keegan (talk) 06:13, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Indeffed. The one thing I don't care about is disruptive SPAs on open proxies. T. Canens (talk) 12:40, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
