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:

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.
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.
Make sure there are no local checkusers.

Μαυρο Μαργαριταρι@el.wikipedia

Status: In progress

List of users: Μαυρο Μαργαριταρι (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser); Μαδαρός (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser); Vrahomarinaner (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser); Επισκεπτήριος (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser); Tina ftore (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser); ΜάκηςΚεφαλονίτης (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser); Ερωφίλη (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser); Ορενόκος (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser); Mangaolo (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser); Crveno belli (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)

CU log
Discussion: el:Βικιπαίδεια:Μαριονέτα

Reason(s): Μαυρο Μαργαριταρι exhibits the same editing pattern of blind reverts and silly vandalism as Μαδαρός in the elwiki article on the battle of Crete (el:Μάχη της Κρήτης -- please check the article's history page).

The former is an account that was activated and started editing the article only a short while after the latter was blocked indefinitely as a sockpuppet. There may well be a number of sleepers, as the sockmaster (Vrahomarinaner, whose account has also been indefinitely blocked) tends to edit WP using a large number of accounts (as previously confirmed after CU requests here) or as an IP. Ασμοδαίος (talk) 18:44, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

comment: I have added a sleeper (user "Επισκεπτήριος") who woke up a few days ago. --Firestarterfighter (talk) 18:40, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose There is no need for further check for vrahomariner. The greek comunity is against identity phishing. Please don't response. --Υπάρχω (talk) 20:57, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It's widely known that we have been facing problems with sockpuppets at Greek Wikipedia, so the request of Ασμοδαίος is absolutely justified.--Diu (talk) 19:07, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
comment: I have added user "Tina ftore" as well. Check the editing history of the article el:Εθνική Οργάνωσις Κυπρίων Αγωνιστών and you will see all these accounts doing the same thing, as other blocked socks of Vrahomarinaner had done before. --Firestarterfighter (talk)
Comment User:Tina ftore has been banned permanently as Vrahomarinaner's puppet. No need to execute checkuser for this spesific user--Kalogeropoulos (talk) 17:28, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I have added user ΜάκηςΚεφαλονίτης, because of similar syntax and editing behavior, as well as the choice of subjects which looks pretty similar to Vrahomarinaner's. Maybe a "sleeping" puppet, which waits for the others to be blocked in order to be awaken? -- Montjoie-Saint-Denis !!! ^{συζήτηση} 23:41, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Stop phishing identities please. --Υπάρχω (talk) 10:44, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Similarly I have also added user Ερωφίλη, as a result of their editing behaviour that I strongly believe to be connected to Vrahomarinaner's activity on the Greek Wikipedia. Thanks Glucken123 (talk) 21:04, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Per en:WP:NOTFISHING, ""Fishing" is to check an account where there is no credible evidence to suspect sockpuppetry." This is not the case here, as all the above are accounts with interests and behaviour identical to that of Vrahomarinaner and his way too many socks. A checkuser should provide confirmation of these suspicions from a technical point of view. Ασμοδαίος (talk) 10:14, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Thanks for the comment Ασμοδαίος. More behaviour patterns have been identified in a very similar fashion by the newcomer named Ορενόκος, who is vandalising and spamming the exact same pages on Greek Wikipedia just like the above mentioned users under investigation. Please, take appropriate action here to increase awareness, as I am afraid that the problem is now getting out of control. Best. Glucken123 (talk) 11:08, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Please same for Skylax30.--2A02:587:803D:5300:D820:E194:E99F:B6C7 15:40, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ignore the above request. The last comment is obviouσly trolling. The other usernnames should probably checked.--MARKELLOS^{Leave me a message} 16:03, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Pertonax@global

Status: In progress

List of users: Imiter1 (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser); Doroti2017 (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser); Esperanto9999 (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser); Rmcharb (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser); Stclair1 (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser); Worlock1 (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)

CU log

Reason(s): Spammers, most of them IPs from several ranges, the whole set is here: Talk:Spam_blacklist#redirects_to_href.li (still growing as I am generating COIBot reports). First set of domains is blacklisted. The spammers typically replace official websites with their domains, which turn out to be redirects through href.li to the original domains but with added codes (e.g. naughtyamerica.top is a redirect to href.li/?hXXp://natour.naughtyamerica.com/track/MTEyNjgzLjEyLjguOC4wLjAuMC4wLjA (mainmed http to hXXp); only brazzers.network seems not to be a redirect). Some of the underlying IP-ranges are VPNs and webhost which need global blocking. Please check if there are more ranges that need blocking. Note, there is no master-sock here, I chose Pertonax as the only named account used for two different domains. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} (en: U, T) 19:31, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that except Esperanto9999 all others would be

Stale as CU data is only kept for a short period of time. No check user query ran here. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 20:19, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@MarcoAurelio: I keep finding more IPs, users and domains, but I see that CheckUser is not going to help on those either. I may however need a hand to have any (underlying) ranges globally blocked, they seem to be using open proxies and VPNs. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} (en: U, T) 15:20, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

MonsterHunter32@en.wikiquote

Status: Not done

List of users: MonsterHunter32 (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser); Beefybufoon (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)

Reason(s):

MonsterHunter32 is suspected of using multiple socks for disruptive sockpuppetry and vote stacking in discussions with admins and editors and at VfD. The account is suspected of using socks to change Wikiquote documentation pages [1] with the aim to influence the outcome of ongoing discussions with admins and editors in his favour. The account is also suspected in vote stacking at Votes for Deletion to influence the outcome of deletion discussions.
It would also be helpful to know if the following IP accounts are related to the main account MonsterHunter32, as they are suspected of vote stacking at Votes for Deletion and other places. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] (Some further evidence that MonsterHunter32 and Beefybufoon are related: Both accounts are also active on wikipedia, where both accounts have edited the same articles at the same time, violating the sockpuppetry policy [7] [8], and the same subjects (articles about medieval India and Alauddin Khilji (the film Padmaavat is about these subjects), video games, and Eastern-Europe/Russia conflicts). The following IP accounts, among others, appear to be (legitimate) socks of MonsterHunter32 [9] [10] [11] ) Jedi3 (talk) 00:31, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

User:Jedi3 has started making baseless accusations of socks against me now. First he couldn't solve the discussion by discussion. Meanwhile he kept disrupting all through and edit-warring. He then started arm-twisting through complaints which I didn't despite me able being to do so as well but only complaining after him when he started it instead of plain discussion: Wikiquote:Administrators' noticeboard#User:MonsterHunter32's massive censorship of sourced quotes without discussion and Wikiquote:Vandalism in progress#User:MonsterHunter32.

Jedi3 has edit-warred a lot, for some examples see the history of these different articles: [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18].

Also while Jedi3 keeps claiming similar articles I edited as a reason, which isn't as users may edit a lot of articles, but that doesn't mean they are related. User:DanielTom has been backing Jedi3 for similar reasons at nearly every complaint he makes. Even their reasons like "censorship" are similar.

I am not Beefybufoon, if you don't believe it check it. In addition I also checked Jedi3's claims about "similarities", I don't edit Eastern-Europe/Russia conflict. Nor I have edited video games often, only rarely. As for the film Padmavat, a lot of users have edited it due to the controversy over it in India. At the film, I only removed an unrelated image and made 2 corrections in the grammar. I made no significant addition. Also Beefybufoon made no edit on Alauddin Khalji as far as I've seen. Jedi3's claims are based on poor understanding.

Not to mention, the VfD discussions he's talking about are months old and I've not used any sock. Not to mention, how is the discussion is in his favor if it was "influenced"? If you need a proof, the IP addresses, I have are usually: 200, 43, 121, 120 and sometimes 59 and 117 and 61.

Also what is funny is User:Jedi3 is claiming [19] is my 'sock'. Even though it is never used a sock and the IP was recorded when I wasn't signed in. when I came to comment again, I realized it and made a new signature so it was clear it was me, see [20]. Jedi3 must take back his claim of it appearing to be a "legitimate sock". Especially, when the very next edit of what he is showing shows that is was a simple case of a user not logged-in. MonsterHunter32 (talk) 04:59, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Declined - please sort this conflict out locally. I'd personally recommend that you both just avoid each-other. – Ajraddatz (talk) 05:54, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reason(s): Adding fake information in a specific article, maybe vandalism. (Minor note: Due to the Office Actions, ALL CheckUser requests of Chinese Wikipedia MUST be done HERE. Please see the latest notice for reference.) ŚÆŊ MØ ŠĀ 09:07, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ying-Meng Lin and 林穎孟 are the same user. Alice Lin and Kenny468 are

Unrelated. Ruslik (talk) 19:18, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Ruslik0: To confirm, I want to ask if Alice Lin and Ying-Meng Lin are related, or just as Kenny468. ŚÆŊ MØ ŠĀ 00:41, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Alice Lin is not related to Ying-Meng. Ruslik (talk) 14:36, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

List of users: SQORP (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser); Vosses (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)

CU log

Reason(s):

Hello, I am SQORP. Before month I've been wrongly blame and get banned for two weeks. But all users don't believe me. Can you check it? It will be very grateful. SQORP (talk) 19:51, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

So? --SQORP (talk) 10:11, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Cimina@global

Status: Done

List of users: Cimina (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser); Citties (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser); Aminnie (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)

CU log

Reason(s): Citties and Aminnie are already globally locked and are confirmed sockpuppets of user Parissa Official. I stronlgy suspect that Cimina is now the new sockpuppet of Parissa Official. All users are creating articles on various Wikipedia sites about the same topics. The topics are mainly "Dark Leg Dark Punk", "Leg Guitar", "Parileg" and "DJ Mixify". Most articles got deleted, the currentl only articles which were edited by both Cimina and Citties can be found on urWP (ur:پریلگ, ur:خداداد موقر, ur:زهره موقر). On Wikidata, the item d:Q42303595 with label "Dark Leg / Dark Punk" was often edited by Citties and Aminnie. Together they added sitelinks to Wikipedia articles in ten different languages. Seven hours after d:Q42303595 was deleted, Cimina created d:Q51130844 with label "Dark Leg Dark Punk". --Pasleim (talk) 21:54, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

CU log
Discussion: zh:User_talk:Jvdx90365

Reason(s): 用户Jvdx90365因

It looks like a duck to me为Negmlosi傀儡而被封禁，随后前者提交封禁申诉，请查核员复检。 Antigng (talk) 07:14, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Shizhao and Jusjih: Care to translate?

— regards, Revi 07:30, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Antigng: Unfortunately no Stewards can read/write Chinese. Please write in English. Thanks! — regards, Revi 08:12, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Translation: Jvdx90365 was blocked on zhwiki because it is a sock of Negmlosi. Jvdx90365 submitted an unblock request. Please review. Jianhui67^{talk★contribs} 09:12, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@-revi: As what Antigng said in Chinese Wikipedia, we have no responsibility to translate Chinese to English. It is your responsibilty to know what we are saying. ŚÆŊ MØ ŠĀ 10:46, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you say that, I can say ‘it is not our responsibility to process any request we do not understand.’ — regards, Revi 10:50, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@-revi: You HAVE the responsibility to recognize what we are saying. We are CHINESE Wikipedia, NOT English Wikiprojects. ŚÆŊ MØ ŠĀ 14:40, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Here is Meta-Wiki, not Chinese Wikipedia. Thank you. — regards, Revi 14:41, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@-revi: If Chinese Wikipedia users have their CheckUser rights, I would never go here. I go here just because of the Office Actions. ŚÆŊ MØ ŠĀ 14:43, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@-revi: Maybe we shall talk at the user talk page? ŚÆŊ MØ ŠĀ 14:45, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think we have something more to talk about this, the check result is available below. — regards, Revi 14:46, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@-revi: I mean the language problem... ŚÆŊ MØ ŠĀ 14:48, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Quoting what Antigng said, "如果他們看不懂導致錯誤判斷，那是他們在濫用權限。" The English meaning is, "If the Stewards made the wrong decisions because they don't know what we are writing, they are abusing their rights." ŚÆŊ MØ ŠĀ 14:54, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Sanmosa: There is no reason to attack helpful stewards here, especially since the decision to remove the Chinese checkusers come from the WMF Office. We simply respond to requests from zhwiki now as there are no local CUs anymore. Nothing more and nothing less. If you have questions/comments about it, I suggest you email ca

wikimedia.org. And that we now close this discussion. Thank you for your understanding. Trijnstel_talk 14:55, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

PS. As there are no Chinese stewards, we recommend to write requests in English if possible. That might only speed up the procedure. Trijnstel_talk 14:55, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Trijnstel: OK, I will stop about the discussion about the language. I just want everyone to be hopeful that there are still Chinese Wikipedia users know English. ŚÆŊ MØ ŠĀ 14:57, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Doing... per Jianhui's translation... (Again, I won't process any request without an explanation I can understand. Other steward may think differently but...) — regards, Revi 14:09, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

From the technical evidences I can access, Unrelated. Remember CheckUser is not magic pixie dust. — regards, Revi 14:34, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
