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. ~~~~
}}

  • Discussion: local policy is same as en.wiki, and these users are already warned in those users' talk pages
Reason(s): These users edit patterns are same. They usually edit article about perticular educational institute. Their edits are disruptive, POV, non reference, and mostly never listen to wiki policy and guidelines. Their edit patterns are continueation of globally banned users Tyih, Tycybj, Tamil098 and Tamilgirl22 Note: Please do cross check to find whether any IDs links to those possible socks.

From a technical point of view. --Sotiale (talk) 12:08, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Sotiale: Thanks for checking. Is it possible to block these users globally since they contributed across Wikipedia project, and created some articles too?

Also, I found another ID links via edit patterns with these IDs, and the ID is . I don't know whether you can have a look. Thanks. --AntanO 15:21, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
