Recent office actions involve more than just protection. They tend to involve a serious cut down of the article as well. As wikitruth has shown tracing admins who are leaking information is tricky.
Can't we look in the server logs to see who's looked at, for example, [[Special:Undelete/Wikitruth.info]] (due to [[Image:Restore Wikitruth info.png]])? From what I've read at [[m:Privacy policy#Security of information]], such logs do exist and could at least narrow down the possible suspects.
It would narrow it down a bit, but not all that much, because no doubt a bunch of admins have looked- from curiosity, if nothing else. However, combined with the popups evidence, it might narrow it down from 800 to around maybe only 20. We shouldn't examine that data, however. Very bad precedent, and poor for privacy, especially since we aren't dealing with out-and-out vandals here, but merely critics.
