This page allows you to request CheckUser information on Meta. When adding new requests, please use the {{checkuser}} template to list the user names in question and {{checkip}} for IP adresses, which simplifies investigation. For example, "{{checkuser|Jimbo Wales}}" will result in:

Spam bots

Please check the following account for more socks. It's most likely a new one in the series of spam bots, see also these locks. I can perform a check on some projects if you need it.

Trijnstel (talk) 00:30, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

• More information: there was another spambot attack on 28 February 2012. PeterSymonds locked the accounts involved (starting with Raspezdoloff2047 and Svavolyayana1953 being the last one that night). Bsadowski CU'ed it and blocked 37.59.70.0/24 globally. Mathonius (talk) 00:45, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

• Completed: CheckUser says you guys got them all already. Everyone has already been blocked/locked. Tiptoety ^talk 06:56, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

122.57.80.0/20

This is probably the wrong place but not sure where to sed it. 122.57.80.0/20 blocked apparently. really? Why such a large range? That will inconvenince a largish number of DSL users behind New Zealand's primary ISP (Telecom). I only offer occasional edits on wikipedia, and now I find a massive range from my ISP is blocked. As a result I can't even use the recover password function to log in, after which presumably things would be ok. Which is brokenness imho. I could probably proxy in but meh, why bother. The edit I was going to offer was trivial, however please consider removing or revising that block. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 122.57.91.177 (talk) 13:26, 7 March 2012‎

122.57.80.0/20 was blocked in 2010 for a while as a "checkuserblock", see here, but it's not blocked at the moment. Not locally and not globally. Trijnstel_talk 13:38, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

It is blocked at English Wikipedia [1]. Presumably a sockpuppet going ballistic. I will mark this for Avraham's review. billinghurst sDrewth 14:50, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Well, that range has been abused by a long term vandal across several Wikimedia projects. However, this IP is currently not blocked on meta and also not globally (as Trijnstel mentioned above). I think This relates to the current block of that range on enwiki (see here). You may want to contact Avi via meta about this. We can't really help you here. -Barras talk 14:52, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks guys, I'll check out your suggestions —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 122.57.91.177 (talk) 20:23, 7 March 2012‎

Thongkaka

• Thongkaka74 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log • CentralAuth • AllContribs • checkuser • investigate)

This new Thongkaka account spammed on meta today, see this request for more info. Mathonius (talk) 21:50, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

It has been dealt with that already. -Barras talk 21:53, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

CegadiXoyeca

• CegadiXoyeca (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log • CentralAuth • AllContribs • checkuser • investigate)

Another one of those cross-wiki pattern spambots. Please consider investigating this one, so perhaps the underlying IP can be blocked globally. Thanks, Mathonius (talk) 09:55, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

• Done. CegadiXoyeca visited mediawiki.org and Vito has (apparently) CU'ed him. Mathonius (talk) 10:16, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

Not done, then. —Marco Aurelio (Nihil Prius Fide) 14:03, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

OstapHouser1

Status:    Done

• OstapHouser1 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log • CentralAuth • AllContribs • checkuser • investigate)
• AdaStroud3 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log • CentralAuth • AllContribs • checkuser • investigate)

Probably some new accounts of the "epsom salt" spammer. Please consider CU'ing them, so the underlying IP can be blocked globally. Mathonius (talk) 01:23, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

They edited from a web host that's already globally blocked. (Global blocks don't apply on metawiki.) —Pathoschild 01:44, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

I had blocked that range locally, but forgot to prevent them from creating accounts... Sorry! Mathonius (talk) 15:51, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Walter55034

Status:    Done

• Walter55034 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log • CentralAuth • AllContribs • checkuser • investigate)
• David35812 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log • CentralAuth • AllContribs • checkuser • investigate)
• David35814 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log • CentralAuth • AllContribs • checkuser • investigate)

The indefinitely blocked Walter55034 is trying to evade his block by (ab)using other accounts. These ducks have both been blocked as well, but please consider investigating these accounts. Mathonius (talk) 15:51, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

No more socks found. -Barras talk 15:53, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Imbigfootalloveragainandagainandevenmore

Status:    Done

• Imbigfootalloveragainandagainandevenmore (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log • CentralAuth • AllContribs • checkuser • investigate)

His behaviour is similar to that of David35814, see for example [2] and [3]. Please investigate if these accounts are related and consider blocking the underlying IP. Mathonius (talk) 12:18, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Completed Same range, but (slightly) different UAs. However, it's a duck and no more socks. -Barras talk 13:47, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

विकिजी

Status:    Done

• विकिजी (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log • CentralAuth • AllContribs • checkuser • investigate)
• Ali3452 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log • CentralAuth • AllContribs • checkuser • investigate)

विकिजी's behaviour is similar to that of Walter55034, but I'm not sure they are related. Anyway, he tried to evade his block as well and विकिजी has been CU'ed by Herbythyme (on Commons?) a while ago. Please consider investigating विकिजी and the new account Ali3452. Mathonius (talk) 15:51, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Well, those are not related and all the Ali[number] accounts are already blocked/locked. -Barras talk 15:57, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Let me change that, this is the Ali[number] guy. Just caught him on simple and now some more here. Locked/blocked all the accounts and did some other necessaries to stop him. -Barras talk 18:54, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

JihajuJavise

• JihajuJavise (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log • CentralAuth • AllContribs • checkuser • investigate)

This is probably another one of those pattern spambots. Could it be investigated? Mathonius (talk) 10:58, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

It's not urgent, but has anyone looked at this request? Mathonius (talk) 16:20, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

CheckUser is not for fishing - No edits, "probably", etc. AGF. -Barras talk 18:48, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

SGF

• Player-23 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log • CentralAuth • AllContribs • checkuser • investigate)

Please check the above account. It's a sleeper account, used today after a silence of two years. 112.119.211.173 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log • CentralAuth • AllContribs • checkuser • investigate) is most likely related to it, as therefore it's the long-term vandal SGF. Please check if he used more accounts. Thanks in advance. Trijnstel_talk 18:32, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Can't/Won't link between IPs and accounts, as usual. However, the account has no more socks. -Barras talk 18:51, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Please check Player23 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log • CentralAuth • AllContribs • checkuser • investigate) too if you want. Trijnstel_talk 09:50, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
