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.

Information
Additional information needed Deferred to
 Doing… Pictogram voting info.svg Info
  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's 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.

Suspected related users [edit]

Rationale [edit]

A few hours later Holen-mor (talk · contribs), who had only 1 edit in 2009, suddenly reappeared and repeated the edits of IP 90.84.144.76[3]. Please include this account into the CU investigation. --Túrelio (talk) 16:52, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Results [edit]

  • I hadn't seen this request yet, but I've extended the duration of AtomicGagou's block. Mathonius (talk) 13:59, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Kolega2357 [edit]

Filed: 01:30, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Suspected related users [edit]


Rationale [edit]

  • Reason: I believe Kolega2357 has a duel personality with 109.92.21.151. The IP comments on the hat collecting allegation [4] not just here, but on other wikis with the same user (see global contribs). Then there's the IP signature, "Greetings from Belgrade", which is a city in Serbia. Kolega2357's userpage notes that he also lives in Serbia. I find it quite a coincidence. Please also see the steward checkuser request [5] where he is accused of being a sock of a globally locked account.. Techman224Talk 01:30, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
  • I endorse this request (if it helps) —Mono 18:58, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Rationale [edit]

  • Reason: Verstoss gegen Anonymität de:Wikipedia:Anonymität (Einfügen des vollen RL Namen und Wohnort, gegen den Willen eines users) ist einer IP gemacht worden, und das ist der User denn ich dahinter vermute. Ist aber vorallem auf de: Aktiv (und er weiss, dass ich auf meiner Anonymität bestehe), und dort mag er mich ganz und gar nicht. Wäre mal wieder eien typische BNS-Aktion von ihm, die er regelmässig abzeihet wenn ihm die Argumente ausgehen. Bobo11 (talk) 07:00, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Rationale [edit]

  • Reason: Known serial sock puppeteer User:Jermboy27's one of many accounts (too long to list here). The editor is known to create other sleepers to use after an account they use is blocked. Bidgee (talk) 08:33, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

Results [edit]

  • Artículo bueno.svg Confirmed, no more sleepers found and I [re-]blocked a few IP addresses for a longer period. Trijnsteltalk 12:12, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

Rationale [edit]

Results [edit]

  • Tortela123 is Time2wait.svg Stale. Superds and Breakerst are very Likely sockpuppets and Elldery is Probably related to those two as well. Trijnsteltalk 20:25, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

Suspected related users [edit]

Rationale [edit]

Results [edit]

  • Cyberduck icon.png It looks like a duck to me: I don't have the previous results to compare it with, but this looks pretty clear to me judged by the contributions. Trijnsteltalk 21:22, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
    Well, but you are steward, you can see CU logs in ukwiki, can't you?--Anatoliy (talk) 21:25, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
    No, I can't... I should change my rights for that, but as ukwiki has local checkusers that's inappropriate. I'll send an email to checkuser-l. Trijnsteltalk 21:30, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
    A ukwiki checkuser compared my results with his and now it's Artículo bueno.svg Confirmed that KulturKontaktVolhynia & Bulka UA are sockpuppets. Trijnsteltalk 21:22, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

Suspected related users [edit]

and many, many more with offensive names I don't want to list here.

Rationale [edit]

  • Reason: Is attacking me and other Commons Admins like User:Odder or User:Liftarn, some attacks even cross-wiki. Often placed the usual Anti-Latuff BS at File talk:View.gif and other places. Please check for Proxies and Sleepers to block. -- Denniss (talk) 23:38, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
    • I've added 190.198.0.236 to the list above. Mathonius (talk) 00:38, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
    • Pictogram voting comment.svg Comment - User:Commons thinks Jew = Troll does exist but the use of "=" in the username may be a problem for the tools. {{checkuser}} is not able to display the name without using the workaround. BTW shouldn't a username with "=" be blocked/invalid/not permitted ? --Denniss (talk) 05:18, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Results [edit]

  • "Commons thinks..." account does not exist. - Pictogram voting comment.svg Note: this account does exist and is Artículo bueno.svg Confirmed Trijnsteltalk 15:17, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

There seem to be proxy usage, as IPs golocate to places like Thailand, Argentina, Singapore, etc. -- Magister Mathematicae 03:57, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Will look at it, but looks to be a long-term vandal. Getting back to it soon. Trijnsteltalk 15:17, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
Symbol redirect vote.svg Completed Yep, definitely a LTA (this one to be precise). I think all accounts are blocked and locked now. If you see more, please inform us! Trijnsteltalk 16:10, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
