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      = 
<!-- Add more if necessary -->
 |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
<!-- Add more if necessary -->
 |discussion      = [[:w:en:Example]]<!-- local confirmation link / local policy link -->
 |reason          = Reasons here. ~~~~
}}

Reason(s): Controversial edits concerning Arab-Iranian issues. كريم أحمد (talk) 03:00, 10 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@كريم أحمد, hi! The IRAN 8458659 account is almost certainly stale: there are no edits since December and it was locked in January. Which is to say, there's not much we can do on our end. If the behavioral evidence is sufficiently clear based on the newer account's edits, this would be something best to report to local admins. Best, Vermont (🐿️—🏳️‍🌈) 03:21, 11 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Vermont thanks for the information. But they have a recent sock IRAN 093839 and I'm not sure what should I do in this condition. كريم أحمد (talk) 03:28, 11 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
