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      = 
<!-- Max 10 users -->
 |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
<!-- Max 10 users -->
 |discussion      = [[:w:en:Example]]<!-- local confirmation link / local policy link -->
 |reason          = Reasons here. ~~~~
}}

Kimthami@ms.wikipedia

[edit]
Status:    Done
List of users
Kimthami (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)
Akazumi Ahasi (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)
Reason(s): 2 brand new users that mass import machine translated templates/articles to mswiki, and then they sneakily add gambling Vietnamese spam links to it: diff 1; diff 2; 1st user has created pages that has been deleted due to spam, and the 2nd listed user tried to add a spam page in Vietnamese, but was stopped by an abuse filter: Special:AbuseLog/2790465. they very likely don't even know the Malaysian language. Requesting CU to see if there's any other account out there that we don't know. - XXBlackburnXx (talk) 15:01, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
From an LWCU perspective I'd say connection between the two is  Possilikely (a mix between possible and likely), leaning towards Likely Likely. Kimthami is  Confirmed to a locked account, Phamtuan2, along with some other sleepers that I just locked, and Akazumi Ahasi is also  Confirmed to another account, Hamazina.
I'll do a local check shortly as well to see if I find anything else. EPIC (talk) 15:23, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Done, after performing a local check I will raise the likelihood of a relationship between the two from a possilikely to a Likely Likely. This appears to be a spam farm (or an LTA based on some local viwiki blocks for some of the accounts), so I also locked a bunch of other accounts I found.

冷火羽@zh.wikipedia

[edit]
Status:    Done
List of users
熱火羽 (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)
冷火雨 (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)
Reason(s): Duck at first glance via username (熱火羽 lit. means hot fire feather, whereas 冷火雨 means cold fire rain; in Chinese, 雨 and 羽 have the same pronunciation), 冷火雨 claims that he/she did not use any alternate accounts. A check is requested. Thanks in advance. （☎） 16:14, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Those two are Unrelated Unrelated from a technical POV. However, I had some other finds.
冷火雨 is  Confirmed to a blocked account, namely zh:User:冷火羽.
熱火羽 is  Confirmed to two other accounts, zh:User:薄書存 and zh:User:李如明.
