Does your request belong here?
This is the place to request sockpuppet checks or other investigations requiring CheckUser privileges. Checkuser is a last resort for difficult cases. Use other methods first. You can try posting on the administrator's noticeboard for example.

Please do not ask us to run checks without good reason:

These indicators are used by CheckUsers to allow easier at-a-glance reading of their notes, actions and comments.

  1. Running a check will only be done to combat disruption on Commons, or as required to assist CheckUser investigations on other Wikimedia wikis.
    • Valid reasons for running a check include vandalism where a block of the underlying IP or IP range is needed, disruptive sockpuppetry, vote-stacking, and similar disruption where the technical evidence from running a check would prevent or reduce further disruption to Wikimedia projects.
  2. Requests to run a check with ambiguous reasoning will result in delays - please provide a rationale at the time you make the request
    • Show what the disruption to the project is, and why you believe the accounts are related.
  3. Requests to run a check on yourself will be declined
  4. The privacy policy does not allow us to make a check that has the effect of revealing IP addresses.
Outcome
Responses will be brief in order to comply with Wikimedia privacy policy. Due to technical limitations, results are not always clear. Check back regularly to see the outcome of your request. Closed requests are archived after seven days.
Privacy violation?
If you feel that a checkuser has led to a violation of the Wikimedia Foundation privacy policy regarding yourself, please refer the case to the Ombudsman commission.

If this page is displaying outdated contents even after you refresh the page in your browser, please purge this page cache the cache.

To request a check:

Cases are created on subpages of Commons:Requests for checkuser/Case.

Creating a request
  • Insert the name of the suspected sockpuppeteer (the main account or puppetmaster, not the sockpuppet!) in the box below, leaving out the "User:" prefix. Do not remove the text in the box, add to the end only.
  • Please explain/justify the request by saying what it is you suspect and why it is important that the check be carried out. Indicate the usernames you suspect, using {{checkuser}}. Please do not use this template in the section header, as that makes it difficult to read the account names. Include the diffs or links required to support the request and reason for it.
  • There are people to assist you and help with maintenance of the page. Just ask for help on the admin noticeboard if you really are stuck, or take your best shot and note that you weren't completely sure of what to say.
  • If a case subpage already exists, edit the existing page instead, either adding to the currently open section (if the case is not yet archived) or adding a new section to the top (if the case has been archived). When editing an existing case, be sure to list/transclude the subpage here.
Example
If you want to request a checkuser on User:John Doe, enter the text Commons:Requests for checkuser/Case/John Doe then click "Request a checkuser." You will be taken to a page where you can fill out the request. Please make your request there brief and concise.


Then transclude your subpage on the top of the list at Commons:Requests for checkuser and remove {{Checkuser requests to be listed}} from the top of the case subpage.

[edit] New suspected sockpuppets (26/04/2011)

Moved from the "Rationale" section

[edit] Awatpishdad

[edit] Suspected related users

[edit] Rationale

Reason: The suspected main account was registered on 2010-11-30, but was largely inactive until April this year. All of the suspected related users were registered in April this year (8, 12, 14, 15 and 17, respectively). The accounts have been used to upload old or semi-old photos with bogus authorship claims as well as blatant copyright violations. On English Wikipedia, they edit the same articles on the same topics. The accounts have no user pages, few or no talk page edits, do not use edit summaries and generally seem to ignore community practices, rules and interaction. Hawarjowan made this edit to change the source of Drea63's upload File:Adila jaf.jpg.

The following table illustrates the overlap in English Wikipedia articles:

I'm guessing Banaboor (talk contribs Luxo's VVV's deleted contribs logs block user block log checkuser) is yet another sock. LX (talk, contribs) 07:14, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
