Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser

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

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.

Jishnu Raghavan accounts[change source]

The page history of this article and User_talk:MathXplore/2024/02#I_Need_your_help suggests that somebody is using too many accounts for possible advertisements. The deletion logs at w:Jishnu Raghavan and the enwiki block logs of the involved users suggests that my guess is right. Please also see w:User:Jishnu_Raghav, w:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Helloo 68, and w:Special:Contributions/Asiant22 for xwiki evidences.

Premaledu[change source]

Something does not seem right as they just created their account and immediately moved to AN to have a religious user name blocked (no edits since January 2023). Now they are telling me to read the policy on usernames. Thanks - PDLTalk to me!Please don't eat da 🐑! 15:19, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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.

I don't see an IP overlap, so based on IP evidence, not the same user... Eptalon (talk) 16:57, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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):

  • 82.132.234.102

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.
