JohnEMcClure was initially blocked as a sockpuppet of banned user JB196 (talk · contribs) and after an unsuccessful unblocking attempt stating "I'm nobody's sockpuppet; is it impossible to agree with someone else?" administratior Eyrian, who had been inactive for some time claimed the account was his here. During the discussion about the bizarre behavior of Eyrian a reference to another sock account was made as well and soon after Eyrian vanished deleting various pages of his and the JohnEMcClure.

The situation is bizarre and has become part of an arbitration case. Some users are not sure if Eyrian and JohnEMcClure are even related and the JohnEMcClure's odd timing appearing just as the arbitration case began has lead to even more questions. I feel a checkuser needs to be run to make sure Eyrian, who is now facing de-sysopping and block, is in fact JohnEMcClure and to find the third sockpuppet Eyrian admitted to having. –– Lid^(Talk) 23:32, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

 Declined. Direct this question to the Arbitration Committee, which has its own checkusers. --Deskana (talk) 11:03, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The thing is it's only part of ArbCom peripherally at this point. We have an admin, who still has his admin powers, claiming to have created a puppet which as the puppet loudly proclaimed "I am nobodies puppet". So we either have an admin who has gone rogue, a sockpuppet with multiple personality disorder or a JB196 puppe as originally assumed. None of these results are good but I feel which is right should be found. –– Lid^(Talk) 10:58, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll find a checkuser who has voted on the case and point them to this. Picaroon (t) 02:06, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

 Confirmed. It's more than just these two, as well. As well as numerous IP edits, there's also User:Varlak, who I'd previously blocked, and User:THX1337, an apparent sleeper. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 05:33, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So Eyrian has gone rogue and has a sockfarm? –– Lid^(Talk) 06:06, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've filed an emergency ArbComm case to get Eyrian desysopped. Nwwaew (Talk Page) (Contribs) (E-mail me)(public computer) 12:38, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is Eyrian's edit stating that it's his sock. Secretlondon 13:55, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
