Role accounts are not allowed on en:. And part of declaring the sock is
saying who it is. Edits aren't anonymous on Wikipedia and particularly not
in the project pages.
(The account declared itself a sock and role account in an edit to
[[User talk:Sam Spade]].)

If you are another admin then I am Enviroknot.

You can tell my abusiveness by the fact that I disappeared this email when
I saw it in the queue. Oh, wait.
