- 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 {{user|Tecmobowl}} trying to piece together the fragmented history. He was suddenly blocked on August 2 at 01:09 UTC by {{Admin|Ryulong}} 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 [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Soxrock&diff=prev&oldid=148828499 responded] just 14 minutes later. A few responses later, he [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Soxrock&diff=prev&oldid=148835450 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 [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Soxrock&diff=prev&oldid=148844816 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 [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Soxrock&diff=148849042&oldid=148848548 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 [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Soxrock&diff=148849042&oldid=148848548 response] did not address the fact.
- {{user|FoxSportsRadio}}:
- [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=George_Bodenheimer&diff=prev&oldid=76082950 Created] George Bodenheimer as an attack page with an apologetic edit summary. When it was nominated for speedy deletion, Soxrock appeared to [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=George_Bodenheimer&diff=next&oldid=76083290 remove the speedy] and expand, thereby solidifying the attack revision in history.
- [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:FoxSportsRadio&diff=prev&oldid=148634842 Admitted] that User:NBAonNBC is a sock.
- [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Around_the_Horn&diff=prev&oldid=144066093 Double voting] at AFD and the six-way voting above.
- {{user|TheUSCTrojan}}: User:NBAonNBC [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:NBAonNBC&diff=148639856&oldid=148639551 admitted] that they share an IP. Last edit was after weeks of inactivity in [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_National_Football_League&diff=prev&oldid=128097438 support] of an idea that was proposed by Soxrock and agreed to by other socks here.
- {{ipuser|71.99.83.251}}:
- Soxrock [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Soxrock&diff=119593713&oldid=115934235 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 [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Millennium_Dome&diff=prev&oldid=116662658 did the move] while logged in. Then logged out and continued editing.
- The USCTrojan also made [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:71.99.83.251&diff=prev&oldid=114343712 a strange edit] to User talk:71.99.83.251.
- {{user|Sarah Goldberg}} (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 [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:NBAonNBC&diff=148646812&oldid=148646614 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 [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:FoxSportsRadio&diff=next&oldid=65767282 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).
- {{user|A. Shakespeare}}: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AA._Shakespeare&diff=145483938&oldid=145483356 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 [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Sarah_Goldberg&diff=prev&oldid=142888120 this odd move] as evidence.
- {{user|TheUltimateImageUploader}}: Only remaining [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_National_Football_League&diff=prev&oldid=128182790 edit] is in support of an issue supported by five other accounts listed here.
- {{user|Darren Allen}}: Userpage redirected to User:Catherine Woods. Catherine Woods was later WP:CHUed to User:Sarah Goldberg.
- {{user|Mrjiggyfly1121}}: Blocked as vandalism-only account with an unblock note added by User:TheUSCTrojan. {{user|Crazy Canadian}}, an admitted sock on Soxrock's user page, [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Soxrock&diff=next&oldid=99211586 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".
- {{user|MrJiggifly}}: Only edit was vandalism to User:Soxrock.
- {{ipuser|71.99.127.127}}: Around the Horn, NASCAR on NBC, NBA on NBC, User:TheUSCTrojan [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Mrjiggyfly1121&diff=prev&oldid=103048154 adds an unblock note] to User:Mrjiggyfly1121 claiming to be hacked by this IP.
