Shortcuts

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.

Recent problematic cross-namespace pagemovers

[change source]

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). MathXplore (talk) 03:25, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please also note that the users like to move pages with semi-protection (especially the 1st and 2nd users). MathXplore (talk) 05:13, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I will also add Repulsive hegemony card (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · SUL · CA · checkuser (log)) for doing similar page moves against semi-protected entries. MathXplore (talk) 00:20, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Administrator note: The user is locked. MathXplore (talk) 05:16, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Administrator note: 1st and 2nd user is locked, please see w:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Balakashyap/Archive#27_August_2024. MathXplore (talk) 00:39, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(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)[reply]
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)[reply]

User:Adelaideslement8723

[change source]


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"[1], They had then confirmed this was their account on their main (Adelaide) account[2]

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, –Davey2010Talk 01:25, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No please don't! Please don't block me! I cant deal with blocking anymore! :( ✿༺ 𝒜𝒹𝑒𝓁𝒶𝒾𝒹𝑒 ༻✿🆃🅰🅻🅺 💌 03:14, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
II REALLY HAVE LEARNED A LOT!! Just please... don't.. don't do it... ✿༺ 𝒜𝒹𝑒𝓁𝒶𝒾𝒹𝑒 ༻✿🆃🅰🅻🅺 💌 03:22, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]

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)[reply]
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. –Davey2010Talk 18:39, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Accounts around WikiAlpha and David Balondemu

[change source]

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)[reply]

Channel i Music Awards accounts

[change source]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
Confirmed by user agent and ISP plus found one more account, now blocked. Thx fr33kman 20:51, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Umar Jaum accounts

[change source]

The 1st user is already blocked due to the abuse of logged out edits, etc, and they are the author of the article (special:redirect/logid/2889284). After the previous block, the 2nd user has started to continue their work (special:diff/9961903). Please also note that their activities also overlap at w:Dil Diyan Gallan (2019 film) (w:special:diff/1264042353, w:special:diff/1264502940), and the music of this movie is made by Umar Jaum.

Daniel Larze accounts

[change source]

Possible WP:EVASION around this article and the RFD (Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2024/Daniel Larze). After the removal of the 1st user, the 2nd user has appeared for the RFD (Special:Diff/9960628) and the article (special:diff/9960649), and they have no other edits in this project. MathXplore (talk) 12:25, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[change source]

Aside from the similar names, both have vandalised the Dexter's Laboratory article by adding false information, and both have created false or somewhat false pages about musicians / music groups. Ravensfire (talk) 16:57, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
