Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Wikipedia:RCU)

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 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[change source]

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.

A recent post drew my attention to the likely possibility that they are the same person. See [8] The first user is also doing a lot of work within the users userspace. I don’t see any permissions given to them. But that response is very suspicious and I also noticed under the first account of doing category work and was created while the user was blocked here.

@Fr33kman Why is the other account not blocked since it was just logged into. They obviously are aware of what they are doing. It is not just category work (I see you blocked them indef from that) but it is still a Sockpuppet that they just used to comment on. So it meets the criteria.

Since the page Parvej Husen Talukder has been repeatedly deleted (G5), I cannot see the creation logs. A user created Parvej Husen Talukder (poet) which was also deleted under G5. The account above was just created and their only edit was this Wikipedia:Deletion review#Parvej Husen Talukder (poet).

@Eptalon The 3 (including the 2nd IP and the two named accounts) are all CU blocked already. I wasn't sure what to do with it since they are all related based on changes. I know you cannot comment on the IP, but based on the matches with the other 3, I felt it better to post here rather than VIP since CUs have higher access. I also know they are both exiting through AU, which may also be a proxy (since they come through Cloudflare and on VPNs).

MinecraftPlayer321[change source]

Editor just started editing here with a direct copy of an ENWP article. They were also checkuser blocked on ENWP then resorted to threats and legal actions.

These three accounts all have very similar edit histories of adding unreliable sources like YouTube channels or websites to Digital marketing.

@FusionSub We can request an IP against a username. They can check the ip and other options. They cannot comment on the IP though. The named account was indef by a checkuser. We cannot list a whole group of IPs as that would be fishing. But we are allowed to request it none the less. The behavior was specifically the same from the IP and the named editor.

Btw, only having one account on a CU request is called a fishing expedition and isn't allowed. RiggedMint 15:28, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@RiggedMint I’m aware of the policy, it reminds me of someone a couple years back who did the same thing and got cu blocked for evasion. Our CUs can figure it out quick. I can’t remember every single account that’s been blocked as no else can either. Thanks - PDLTalk to me!Please don't eat da 🐑! 15:33, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Fr33kman You can put this aside. I’ll have to search for who I think it is. However I am recommending they be blocked. If you look at the user contributions they are going to different wikis and doing the exact same thing and asking for that user to be blocked. I am going to post to SRG as well for a Glock.

0ddotnek[change source]

This user just created their account, however, the articles they are editing have not been touched in a while. Numerous IPs were editing it and they all ended up being blocked by User:Vermont for long term abuse. The behavior of this editor matches that of the IP as they are making many small changes over a long period of time. Due to the changes they are making on the couple of articles I’m of the belief they are related to the blocked IP listed as follows (I understand comments cannot be made about IPs by a CU):

Tanzimat accounts[change source]

These 5 accounts we're all created recently editing the same page, at the same time. I think the accounts were editing in good faith but editing on multiple accounts at the same time breaks some alt account guidelines. RiggedMint 16:16, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Considering Tnalbantian's userpage, it's likely a group of students. If they're editing in good faith I don't think there's much point in looking into this further. Vermont (🐿️🏳️‍🌈) 15:52, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If that's the case, then I'll dismiss the topic. RiggedMint 15:54, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Vermont Should it be suggested about the school project and how to register? I would also find it odd, as Rigged did. Thanks - PDLTalk to me!Please don't eat da 🐑! 16:11, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Beautiful than the BEAUTIFUL[change source]

I think the users page User:Beautiful than the BEAUTIFUL pretty much says it all. They admit they are blocked and creating many accounts. On the user page they have “How many times do you bully me here?” Btw they admit on the talk page that the other account is theirs and they are here “…I just want to report MathXplore he want to delete someones Article”. Pretty clear case to me. I recommend checking for sleepers as well. I also think they are behind all the IP creations of the Bautista articles, but I know comments cannot be made on IP.

I don't see overlapping IP adresses, so from a CU point of view there is no match, sorry. Eptalon (talk) 19:32, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Eptalon No worries. I find it odd they would make those comments and admit it is their account lol. Thanks - Da LambTalk to me!Please don't eat da 🐑! 21:35, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

PotsdamLamb[change source]

To begin with [11] they have accepted that they lost their main account password etc. But if you check the recent SPI investigations in enwiki [12] CU there blocked and confirmed the master as postdamlamb and amazing they created their sock account here on Simplewiki which can be seen from their global account creation log[13]. I think CU should check it carefully. DIVINE 01:22, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Vermont hey just letting you know @PotsdamLamb said I will be blocked, will I??? Thnx... BigKrow (talk) 01:37, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
PotsdamLamb's unblock request on simplewiki was accepted ~9 months after ThatFungi was locked. We are aware of this, and it's not an issue so long as no further sockpuppets are made/used. Vermont (🐿️🏳️‍🌈) 01:37, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I mentioned on their talk page that I was unaware of it and requested not to remove notice unless patrolling admin checks. Thankyou for the information. @Vermont DIVINE 01:40, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@DIVINE Again, admins are very well aware of this which is why I my unblock request was denied back then. I was unblocked in the beginning of this year, so your accusations are unfounded. Yes @Ferien was the one who denied my unblock request back then for this. Thanks, and be well! - PDLTalk to me!Please don't eat da 🐑! 01:40, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is no point in this discussion. The sockpuppet account is nearly a year old and already locked. The admins have known about it for a long time. QuicoleJR (talk) 02:33, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello all, let me clarify two things: 'That fungi' last edited almost a year ago, so, likely, there is no CU data. So even with the best of intentions, I couldn't run a checkuser, and get useful information to compare with. Secondly, a few months back, PorsdamLamb appealed to his block. In the course of that appeal, the admins thoroughly evaluated the options. In the end, it was decided to re-admit PotsdamLamb to the project. At that time, there were no hints as to PotsdamLamb using other accounts to access this wiki.His history at EnWP was known, and taken into account. Eptalon (talk) 11:38, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
