2011[edit]

Following on this list of socks denied by Mattisse but confirmed by CU and revealed in November 2010, no public CUs were announced in 2011. The thought was, based on the preceding comments, that the arbs would be handling further socks. The next publicly known sock was registered in November 2011, and edited for all of 2012. Whether other accounts also edited is unknown.
