Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser
Checkuser is the process of checking information about two or more users (including named users and IPs). Special users 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 formulated 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.

[change] 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.

This is mainly a Quack, but the underlying effect and what seems to be a potential sock farm may need looking into. Similar names, similar dates created, creating fake articles of a similar nature around the same topic (One Time India's series and other productions). The three listed certainly are quacking loudly here, but there seems to be a whole lot more that haven't quacked yet. --Creol(talk) 08:03, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
- Hello, I've done a check here this morning already, the results can be viewed on my local block log, and also here and here. It was a quite big sock farm. -Barras talk 10:00, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
- Since there is that request here, there were some new socks this afternoon, now blocked. I issued another block that hopefully helps to stop this. -Barras talk 15:34, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
[change] 89.178.124.206 and Janitor Joe
- 89.178.124.206 (talk • changes <deleted> • logs • block user • block log • checkuser)
- Janitor Joe (talk • changes <deleted> • logs • block user • block log • checkuser)
Both accuse each other of socking. Were engaged in an edit war at Tamara Toumanova. Chenzw Talk 13:22, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
- Janitor Joe is the same Biographyspot [[1]] and Andriabenia [2].89.178.124.206 (talk) 13:59, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
Not done - We don't link between accounts and IPs. It looks like the appreciate actions have been taken. I doubt that someone will revert themselves and then accusing themselves of socking. -Barras (talk) 15:46, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Appears to be stalking an editor here, and was blocked on EN for socking as well. There may be sleeper socks around, not to mention that the vandalism around here seemed to be worse than usual. Chenzw Talk 12:51, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
