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. ~~~~
    }}

Requests

Chulsu463@incubator.wikimedia

Just use incubator in language code form and empty project shortcut/use wikimedia in project shortcut form. And I refrain this request myself to avoid COI in the project, so I ask other stews to handle it. --Sotiale (talk) 12:50, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I'm doing community-related work on incubator local. Therefore, I am refraining from this request. This means that I have not reviewed the adequacy of this request. I hope other stews will take care of it! --Sotiale (talk) 02:39, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pratap Pandit@en.wikipedia

Hi. Please visit en:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations. Where local checkusers are active, we can't do checkuser unless in special circumstances. --Sotiale (talk) 06:35, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sotiale But checkuser cannot be used on English Wikipedia on this user since his earlier socks were blocked more than 90 days ago. But since he was active on Meta Wikimedia about 70 days ago it is well possible that Meta can successfully run a checkuser and compare "Guy Foxx" with "Pratap Pandit". Aman.kumar.goel (talk) 16:54, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Meta also has local CheckUsers, for meta checkuser information you need to ask at: Meta:Requests for CheckUser information. Majavah talk/contribs/sul 16:57, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

成人玩具掌櫃@yue.wikipedia

Um... how about blocking their band? --Sotiale (talk) 07:51, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Sotiale: That is exactly what I wish to do, but I am uncertain whether it is allowed by relevant policies. P.S. the sock master has used 4 IP addresses to edit anonymously previously, each in a different band. H78c67c (talk) 16:02, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Judging by their anonymous edits, I believe that they are based in Japan. I have updated the local LTA page accordingly. Please correct me if I am wrong. H78c67c (talk) 00:31, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Good. First of all, I will process this request within today, and I will contact you through the relevant procedures in this regard! --Sotiale (talk) 02:43, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Manasa Agriculture@hi.wikipedia

@संजीव कुमार: Hello, संजीव कुमार. Could you please explain again what you mean? If you don't think sockpuppets, why did you post this request to SRCU? (Because we have no way of knowing if they are meatpuppets). Or are you suspicious of xwiki promotion? --Sotiale (talk) 07:44, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Sotiale: I suspect and I think so. But I wrote another sentence because I may be wrong as human can make mistakes. I didn't check for xwiki spam but yes they are doing promotion on hiwiki. If my reason is sufficient for sockpuppet test, please do so. If it doesn't match the requirements, I shall take back my nomination.☆★Sanjeev Kumar (talk) 07:55, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
