Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser

For the place to request access to the tool, see Wikipedia:Requests for permissions.

CheckUser is the process of checking information about two or more users (including named users and IP addresses). Some administrators are able to check if two or more accounts have been used from the same computer. These users also see User agents. This can help them decide if two accounts are related in the way described above. It is also possible to see if a user is editing from an open proxy.

On this page, users can request some users or IPs to be checked. Good reasons should be given for why a checkuser is needed; you should provide links which show the questionable edits, etc. Questions should usually be created so that they can be answered by yes or no. Responses will be short in order to comply with Wikipedia privacy policy. Sensitive information (like the IP addresses used by an account) are usually not reported. The results are not always clear, and a decision should not be made only on the basis of checkuser results.

Use of the tool

This tool is to be used to fight vandalism, to check for sockpuppet abuse, and to limit disruption of the project. It must be used only to prevent damage to the project.

The tool should not be used for political control; to apply pressure on editors; or as a threat against another editor in a content dispute. There must be a valid reason to check a user. Note that alternative accounts are not forbidden, so long as they are not used in violation of the policies (for example, to vote more than once or to make it look like more people support an idea). Checkusers will refuse a request, if the reason for checking is not good enough to warrant the use of the tool.

Please see the CheckUser policy for all the rules related to CheckUser.

The list of users with CheckUser access can be seen at: Special:ListUsers/checkuser.

I would like to note that several users are moving non-userpages to userspace with similar tone (complicated language that may not make sense) and vice versa. The 2nd user has WP:ONESTRIKE for this reason. In w:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Krishan avatar, an editor pointed out similarities between the 1st and 3rd user (who is equal to the 4th-11th user, Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Archive22#Behgal_Jats_accounts, Special:Diff/9737930, w:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Truthfindervert, Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Archive22#Truthfindervert/Khalsajudicary). Both the 1st and 3rd user has interests in similar South Asian history topics, and have a history of problematic page moves (examples are explained in Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Archive22#Behgal_Jats_accounts and Special:Diff/9737930).

Possible WP:EVASION around this article. After the previous CU-blocks at Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Archives/2024-12#Battle_of_Qara-Hamid_accounts by Bsadowski1, more new users have joined here to continue the content dispute of the previous accounts. Despite having lower edit counts, many of them were able to find this article. The 7th and 9th user made statements about casualities with similar scale ([1], [2]) trying to deny the claim of being "unknown" made by their opponents (such as the 4th user, [3]). The 1st user is the author of this article and the 6th user has tried to blank this page (see the deleted edits like [4]), and the page history is a conflict among them. I guess the 7th and 9th user is on the same of the 1st user and the 8th user who tagged this page ([5]) is on the same side with the 6th user. MathXplore (talk) 14:11, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

(Non-checkuser observation) Not sure if there is anything for checkusers to do here, since any action could be considered linking account to IP (something that is strictly forbidden by WMF policy).- FusionSub (Talk page) (Contributions) 19:27, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

That's true; I cannot publicly link an IP address and an account. When it comes to blocking, any admin can do that, based on the behaviour of the respective user (or UP). Eptalon (talk) 14:13, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

User:Adelaideslement8723

• Adelaideslement8723 (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · SUL · CA · checkuser (log))

• Jayden Johnson 2314 (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · SUL · CA · checkuser (log))

Adelaideslement8723 (talk) had created an account named Jayden Johnson 2314 (talk) because "Incase I lose the password to my main one, I have a backup one just in case"[6], They had then confirmed this was their account on their main (Adelaide) account[7]

I was going to let this slide until I saw this which were their previous 10 accounts that were CU-blocked. Their reply over at Simple talk (Yeah, I have learned a lot ever since the incident over at the regular English Wiki... I made a terrible mistake... And I have learned a lot to not make the same) was the other reason for this report - it's obvious nothing has been learnt from their block at Enwiki and whilst mistakes do happen creating an account 7 months after your other 10 accounts were indeffed isn't a mistake ... it's a pattern. Anyway I believe this user has just used their remaining WP:ONESTRIKE life, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 01:25, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

Note: Please know that Adelaide has completely blanked their username page and replaced it with “retired” as their latest diff on their user page, most likely of the chance of their being blocked/locked. I also don’t really see the purpose of them using Adelaide and using JJ 2314. ⯎ Asteralee ⯎ 03:32, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

Hello there, I don't think that running a checkuser is required; the user admitted to having two accounts. Let me just stress that it might be good to look at Wikipedia:Competence is required. As far as I can tell, blocks/bans are currently not required. When you edit though, try to do changes that are helpful. Eptalon (talk) 14:09, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Eptalon, My apologies, I searched WP:SPI and didn't think much beyond that - Of course this is Requests for checkuser and as such a CU isn't needed, That being said I'm disappointed they've not been blocked as as of writing this they've still been using both accounts, I'll request a block at ANI, Thanks. –Davey2010^Talk 18:39, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

Accounts around WikiAlpha and David Balondemu

I would like to report a possible successor of locked LTAs based on LWCU results (1st and 2nd user, both are locked by Yahya). The 1st user is the author of WikiAlpha (special:redirect/logid/2884364, listed up for Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2024/WikiAlpha), and the 3rd user removed RFD tag from the page (special:diff/9959053). The 1st and 2nd user has activity overlap at d:Q131412851 (Wikidata item for David Balondemu which is deleted by Eptalon). Making a possibly non-notable subject and removing RFD tag are issues, and doing these with several accounts is an incident that should be reviewed by our CUs. Also, any further movement by LTA followers should be seized. MathXplore (talk) 13:35, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

• Wikicommonsmr (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · SUL · CA · checkuser (log))

I'm reporting possible WP:EVASION around here. The 1st user has made many QD A3 cases and then they have been blocked by Fr33kman. After the block, the 1st user has been identified as LTA by a steward. Recently, the 2nd user picked up their remaining page creations and started working on it with logged-in and logged-out mode (special:diff/9961841, special:diff/9961844). MathXplore (talk) 08:21, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

In addition, the 2nd user has recreated Channel i, which was originally made by the 1st user. MathXplore (talk) 08:29, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
