This page is for requesting CheckUser information on a wiki with no local CheckUsers (see also requesting checkuser access). Make sure to follow the following instructions, or your request may not be processed in a timely manner.

Before making a request:

  1. Make sure you have a good reason for the check. It will only be accepted to counter vandalism or disruption to Wikimedia wikis. Valid reasons include needing a block of the underlying IP or IP range, disruptive sockpuppetry, vote-stacking, and similar disruption where the technical evidence from running a check would prevent or reduce further disruption.
  2. Be specific in your reasons. Ambiguous or insufficient reasons will cause delays. Explain the disruption and why you believe the accounts are related, ideally using diff links or other evidence.
  3. Make sure there are no local checkusers.
  4. Please ensure that the check hasn't already been done:


How to make a request

How to make a request:

  • Place your request at the bottom of the section, using the template below (see also {{srcu}} help).
    === Username@xx.project ===
    {{CU request
     |status          = <!--don't change this line-->
     |language code   = 
     |project shortcut= 
     |user name1      = 
     |user name2      = 
     |user name3      = 
    <!-- Add more if necessary -->
     |discussion      = [[Example]]<!-- local confirmation link / local policy link -->
     |reason          = Reasons here. ~~~~
    }}
    

    For example:

    === Example@en.wikipedia ===
    {{CU request
     |status          = <!--don't change this line-->
     |language code   = en
     |project shortcut= w
     |user name1      = Example
     |user name2      = Foo
     |user name3      = Bar
    <!-- Add more if necessary -->
     |discussion      = [[:w:en:Example]]<!-- local confirmation link / local policy link -->
     |reason          = Reasons here. ~~~~
    }}
    
  • Specify the wiki(s) you want to perform the check on.

Vu's sockpuppet@vi.wikipedia

Evil machine translation: "Hello everyone, I want you to help me test users. These accounts is the personal attack in the wiki (creating spam posts on my personal) and external wiki (sent two letters to words not on facebook or-not know anyone personally on facebook is because no information on this). So I want you to check the user from which to discover the account or use of this. And especially you can help me check these accounts have been logged in Vietnam?" and "Can an account number or IP again that I do not know what name do I only see the items related counts after my name was removed so the BQV (sysop) not know the created. Thanks!" Kylu 03:02, 19 January 2010 (UTC)reply

I'd like to briefly translate the massage of *khi người ta trẻ* as follows:

EZIO@fawiki

Status:    Done

Please confirm whether or not

EZIO (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser) (fawiki)

is a sock of either of the two following users:

Reason: Both of the above users have been blocked and put on topical ban for severe disruption. Based on editing pattern and lexicon, we suspect EZIO may be a sock that's being used to violate their ban , especially since the timing of the EZIO account initiation also coincides with the banning of both these users.--Zereshk 06:22, 5 January 2010 (UTC) (member of wp:fa admin staff)reply

There is no obvious relation between these three users. EZIO, Ab2llah, and SalmanParsi almost never edit at the same time; when they edit on the same day, they often edit in non-overlapping blocks. When Ab2llah and SalmanParsi edited at the same times on 23 November 2009, they did so with different IP addresses and slightly different software profiles. EZIO never edited at the same time as Ab2llah or SalmanParsi, although they edited some of the same days. All three users have ISP and software usage distinctive from the other two. —Pathoschild 22:43:58, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Diabo_e_Santo@pt.wikt (Portuguese wiktionary)

Here I am again asking for a checkuser of another set of possible sockpuppets of a very persistent vandal. He has been banned by the community, but he's back at his old game... I have already come here before and before that. This user is back haunting us with many different user names, so I would like to ask you to check these ones now:

As the community has banned this "Diabo_e_Santo", if any of these are found to belong to him, I'll block them for life as well.

Thanks for your help.

MoreInfo Additional information needed, some accounts just have one or two edits which do not look vandalizing to me. What's wrong with them? Why do you think that they are the banned user? Kind regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 16:49, 9 January 2010 (UTC)reply
It may not look like vandalizing yet but this user has shown in the past that he's very clever at avoiding detection; he would start a dozen (or more) sockpuppets at a time, contribute normally for a while and after getting them to 100 or so edits, he would start using them in votes and discussion forums to force his point of view (the other contributors would think that many different users were sharing a point of view, when in reality it was all one person only).
One of the users in the list above (Tico) was already blocked by one of the admins because he showed by one of his edits that it was the banned user.
This user has also shown total disrespect for the established order. User "Prior Jacinto", for instance, sent me (a sysop and bureaucrat) a message that was obviously intended to show that it was him (the banned user) writing. He knew that even if I blocked that one account, he would have others to play with.
Therefore, it's important to nip this in the bud. If any of the accounts above belong to this "Diabo_e_Santo", I would like to block him, so that he doesn't start another round of vandalisms.
Thank you for your understanding.
P.S.: how do the other WikiMedia projects handle persistent vandals like this? We keep blocking him and he keeps coming back. Is there no "final way" to treat such pestilences? If not, I'll have to keep coming back here month after month with lists of usernames to be checked...

پوویا@fawiki

Hello, I am sysop in Fa.wikipedia. User:پوویا has been blocked for editwaring and copyvio. However, the listed IPs are editing while he was blocked. All of IPs are from Malaysia. Since the user has stated on his userpage that he is/was studying in Malaysia, it is very likely that these IPs are socks of the blocked account پوویا. --Behzad.Modares 21:56, 6 January 2010 (UTC)reply

Taraneh@fawiki

Hello, I am sysop in Fa.wikipedia. User:ترانه جوانبخت has been blocked for two weeks. However, the IP bellow is editing while she has been blocked. The IP is from Montreal, Quebec. Since the user has stated on fa.wiki that she is living in Montreal, it is very likely that this IP is the sock of the blocked account to evade the sanction. If the IP is the sock of the user, she has been violated WP:COI, WP:AUTOBIO too--Behzad.Modares 23:21, 13 January 2010 (UTC)reply

I can't help but think that granting this request would be a violation of the privacy policy, given that you're wanting us to, essentially, tell you someone's IP address. You could block the IP (or range) as a duck if you're sure of your decision. Kylu 01:55, 14 January 2010 (UTC)reply

ms Wiki

Hello, I am sysop in ms wikipedia. User: 'Ttalk' has been blocked for article spaming. However, he usually will register again as new user, unless his IP is block. This have been going on and off since Nov'09. I need someone to block his IP at MS Wiki.
