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      = 
<!-- Max 10 users -->
 |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
<!-- Max 10 users -->
 |discussion      = [[:w:en:Example]]<!-- local confirmation link / local policy link -->
 |reason          = Reasons here. ~~~~
}}
  • Specify the wiki(s) you want to perform the check on.

Requests[edit]

RAMSES$44932@ro.wikipedia[edit]

Status:    In progress
List of users
RAMSES$44932 (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)
Editor1722 (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)
Reason(s): RAMSES$44932 is blocked indefinitely, and Editor1722 behaves like a DUCK; RAMSES$44932 has a history of sockpuppeting, wouldn't be a surprise for them to come back again after being recently banned. Gikü (talk) 16:49, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Gikü: If they are ducks, this investigation is not necessary. Do you think they additionally hid the account? I would appreciate it if you could explain why this investigation is necessary. --Sotiale (talk) 12:49, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dancewithdevil@az.wikipedia[edit]

Status:    In progress
List of users
dancewithdevil (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)
Viki0Pediya (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)
Mammadly (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)
Reason(s): This user actively engaging sockpuppets to back him in order to become admin in Azerbaijani wikipedia. He was previously blocked in Turkish wikipedia for sockpuppetry as well--Azerifactory (talk) 11:18, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Please explain the evidence for suspecting that Dancewithdevil uses sockspuppets. In what ways do you think that user is similar to the 2 accounts you presented? And I want to point out that this user has already been checked twice(2022-05, 2022-07). This does not impede the progress of this investigation, but at least requires that you explain on your suspicions in detail. --Sotiale (talk) 11:32, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Chinawu1949@zh.wikipedia[edit]

Status:    Done
List of users
W10032758W (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)
Chinawu1949 (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)
Reason(s): Creation of the same draft/article of a YouTuber. I cannot tell if they are the same user simply via the contents that are available, and thus a check is requested to reveal relationships between the two users. --LuciferianThomas 10:24, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes.. I guess you were tired like me :p --Sotiale (talk) 10:36, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
