Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Wikipedia:RFCU)
For the place to request access to the tool, see Wikipedia:Requests for permissions.
Shortcuts

CheckUser is the process of checking information about two or more users (including named users and IPs). Some administrators are able to check if two or more accounts have been used from the same computer. These users also see User agents. This can help them decide if two accounts are related in the way described above. It is also possible to see if a user is editing from an open proxy.

On this page, users can request some users or IPs to be checked. Good reasons should be given for why a checkuser is needed; you should provide links which show the questionable edits, etc. Questions should usually be created so that they can be answered by yes or no. Responses will be short in order to comply with Wikipedia privacy policy. Sensitive information (like the IP addresses used by an account) are usually not reported. The results are not always clear, and a decision should not be made only on the basis of checkuser results.

Use of the tool

This tool is to be used to fight vandalism, to check for sockpuppet abuse, and to limit disruption of the project. It must be used only to prevent damage to the project.

The tool should not be used for political control; to apply pressure on editors; or as a threat against another editor in a content dispute. There must be a valid reason to check a user. Note that alternative accounts are not forbidden, so long as they are not used in violation of the policies (for example, to vote more than once or to make it look like more people support an idea). Checkusers will refuse a request, if the reason for checking is not good enough to warrant the use of the tool.

Please see the CheckUser policy for all the rules related to CheckUser.

The list of users with CheckUser access can be seen at: Special:ListUsers/checkuser.

Probbable another Sock of User:Lights and freedom

[change source]

Dear respected editors,

I have observed unusual activity surrounding User following the block of User . Since then, User has focused primarily on RfD and QD nominations across numerous pages. Additionally, I noticed that IP address 131.109.227.10 created a discussion on the Vijay Naidu page, and almost immediately, User joined the discussion. Upon further investigation, I found that this IP address appears to have the same location and behavior as previous accounts, including User:Yelromcc and User:Batrachoseps and freedom, suggesting a possible connection between these accounts and IPs. --Symonds Gerother (talk) 16:08, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm definitely not a sock puppet but go ahead and do a checkuser on me. The CU will definitely clear me of wrong doing and will come as a surprise to the CU. Yelromcc (talk) 16:20, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

no Declined No clear basis for check at this point. This is not the first RFD they have commented on.--BRP ever 16:36, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

w:WP:SHOUT and suspected abuse of logout edits to avoid WP:3RR restrictions at Attack of Baghdad (1812) and Talk:Attack of Baghdad (1812)

[change source]

I would like to note that 2 users and Special:Contributions/2A02:3035:B05:1A96:1C8B:4A6:D73F:945A are shouting and possibly switching between logged-in/logged-out to make their statement ("Qajar victory") visible on Attack of Baghdad (1812) and Talk:Attack of Baghdad (1812) (Special:Diff/9860317, special:diff/9858142, special:diff/9858613, special:diff/9858786, special:diff/9859174, special:diff/9861740, special:diff/9853436). MathXplore (talk) 08:22, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I ran a checkuser, here are my findings: Both users are from the same country, and use the same ISP, which has a pool of dynamic IP adresses. Looking at the IPs though, three of the four IPv4 numbers are different, so them being the same user is unlikely. No comment on the IPv6 address. Eptalon (talk) 09:14, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]


Editing on Cyber Crime Break

[change source]

I recently placed an A4 Quick Deletion (QD) tag on the article Cyber Crime Break because the page lacked clear indications of notability. However, shortly after, a user named User:Baalveeer removed the QD tag without providing any explanation. I reverted this removal, but then another user, User:Wikimooddose, also removed the QD tag.

Notably, a total of three accounts have edited this page, all contributing in ways that attempt to prevent its deletion. This behavior suggests that these accounts might be sockpuppets, potentially created to keep the article from being flagged for deletion. Could an administrator please investigate this situation to verify if these accounts are indeed sockpuppets and ensure appropriate actions are taken? --Symonds Gerother (talk) 15:25, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tai Socks

[change source]

Taitheguy87 isn't a sockpuppet of me, Taitheguy87 is actually a sockpuppet of TaiUhBye because they start with Tai in their names and TaiUhBye has already been blocked last month (September). Now, can you block Taitheguy87 because he is a sockpuppet of TaiUhBye. Thetree284 (talk) 16:35, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined, many usernames start with the same letters, it doesn't make them socks. fr33kman 16:40, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
But, TaiUhBye and Taitheguy87 live in the same house and is it a sockpuppet or an alternative account (I think Taitheguy87 is a sockpuppet of TaiUhBye)? Thetree284 (talk) 16:44, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
How do you know they live in the same house? Do you live there too? This is what we call a fishing trip and is forbidden under CU rules. A vague notion that because they start their User names with the same letters isn't justification to check. btw, my girlfriend and I live in the same house and edit Wikipedia, doesn't make us sock puppets.

@Fr33kman: I thought my initial statement is the answer to this question. However I have updates about this case. I recentlly reviewed the global edits of the 3rd user, and I noticed that their kowiki and Wikidata edits are related to Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Archive22#Ryohei_Mori_accounts. Based on this behavior evidence I have requested a global lock for the 3rd user and has been accepted, so the other users are also requested for locks due to the activity overlaps seen here. Currently all involved accounts are locked and the page is deleted by QD G5. I should have carefully checked the global edits before this request. I apologize the disturbance and thank you for the feedback. MathXplore (talk) 08:15, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jacob Enoh Eben

[change source]

It has come to my attention that the user User:Lagwani23 created the page Jacob Enoh Eben, and shortly thereafter, the newly registered account User:Baloliq2 made significant edits to the career section of this page. Given the timing and pattern of contributions, I believe these accounts are likely connected or operated by the same individual. I request a checkuser investigation to determine if these accounts are sockpuppets.--Symonds Gerother (talk) 07:25, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category/template creators around Arabic/LGBT/Pakistani topics

[change source]

I request CU-comparison between category/template creators around Arabic/LGBT/Pakistani topics. The 1st user is already blocked. The 2nd user is CU-blocked by user:Fr33kman (Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Archive22#BottleOfSoup), the 3rd user is blocked per enwiki SPI results (w:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Irtapil/Archive#23_June_2024). I will list up the similarities and overlaps that I noticed.

The 2nd user (BottleOfSoup, BoS) previously made Category:Gaza Strip templates (special:redirect/logid/2693442). When I see the categorized templates, Template:Gaza blockade, Template:Gaza Strip navbox, and Template:Gaza Strip map is made by the 4th user (LagoonGoose, LG). This suggests that the 4th user is continuing the works of the previous users.

(Usage of userspace) Also, as PDL pointed out in the previous CU request, the 1st and 2nd user prefers to work in the userspace. This trend is also seen in the 4th user (LagoonGoose, LG, userspace edits) since their return in August after a 3-month Wikibreak. Please note that the user was already familiar to use their userspace and content translation tools since their registration and return.

(Categorization involvements) The 1st user was originally blocked per categorizations issues (deleted categories), and then the block was extended per previous CU results.

(Language preferences and related interests) As seen in the creation of w:Template:User en-gb-n, w:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Irtapil/Archive#23_June_2024, and the previous edits, the 1st user's langauge preferences and related interests include en-GB, Arabic, and Australia. When I see the 4th user, they made translations of Arabic content (including User:LagoonGoose/Australian Representative Office in Ramallah), also made page moves to change titles in British English (for example, see special:redirect/logid/2816294, organization -> organisation, also see move log). The usage of "organisation" can also be seen in w:User_talk:Irtapil/Archive_1#article_translation_request_ru:_Альянс_врачей.

(Topic overlaps) Both the 1st and 4th user are the most prolific editors in the area of the Middle East (especially Israel and Palestine) in this project. Other topic overlaps are listed as below:

Dhadhor accounts again

[change source]

After the previous CU request (Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Archive22#Dhadhor_accounts) and content dispute, another account (2nd user) has joined the conflict.

The 3rd-5th users are already blocked in the previous request (by user:Bsadowski1) and w:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Rao Devilal Pratap.

The previous conflict was between the 1st and 3rd-5th users versus an IP range where the involvement of the 6th user is estimated. Please see the block log and related records of the 6th user (special:redirect/logid/2765016, w:special:redirect/logid/163138137, w:special:permalink/1234083914#Question_about_special:redirect/logid/163138137) and here/

The relation between the 6th and 7th user is explained in w:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/R2dra.

Please note that the 2nd user aimed to restore previously removed statements in the intro (Dhadhor is ... Ahir or Yadav), please compare special:diff/9758784, special:diff/9585825, and special:diff/9575519 for example.

The 1st and 3rd-5th users are working to do the opposite of the above actions (removing the statement: "Dhadhor is ... Ahir or Yadav" and relevant references, see special:diff/9765543 and special:diff/9580657). Also, I have previously pointed out that the 3rd-5th users are using similar edit summaries as one of our former admins in Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Archive22#Dhadhor_accounts. Please note that the 1st user started using the same kind of edit summary (please compare special:diff/9765543, special:diff/9580657, and special:diff/9570001).

Recent problematic cross-namespace pagemovers

[change source]

I would like to note that several users are moving non-userpages to userspace with similar tone (complicated language that may not make sense) and vice versa. The 2nd user has WP:ONESTRIKE for this reason. In w:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Krishan avatar, an editor pointed out similarities between the 1st and 3rd user (who is equal to the 4th-11th user, Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Archive22#Behgal_Jats_accounts, Special:Diff/9737930, w:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Truthfindervert, Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Archive22#Truthfindervert/Khalsajudicary). Both the 1st and 3rd user has interests in similar South Asian history topics, and have a history of problematic page moves (examples are explained in Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Archive22#Behgal_Jats_accounts and Special:Diff/9737930).

Return of Sockpuppet

[change source]

The suspect, AlvaKedak is an sockpuppet of users which I had already reported here Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser#Personal Attacks & Disruptive Edits of Socks

  • AlvaKedak has created his account 3 hours ago and the first articles he edited were also edited by the sockpuppet [3]
  • AlvaKedak tries to remove the same content which the blocked socks tried to remove multiple times [4] Based Kashmiri (talk) 14:48, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I am not a sockpuppet. I used to edit without an account (I am the IP user who created the Rashrakuta Empire Page), I made an account specifically so I could talk to @Based Kashmiri about the Pala Empire map and then from then on started editing using this account (there is a glitch that sometimes logs me out while I am in the middle of editing, I mentioned this in my user page).
    I tried to remove that damned map because it was inaccurate, if you added it to the Regular Wikipedia page, it would be removed instantly and for good reason. I just want to preserve the integrity of this site.
    Is this enough to clear my name, or do you need more proof ? Also "a sockpuppet" not "an sockpuppet", get that right at least. AlvaKedak (talk) 14:20, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    You still have not given a single reliable source which says that map (which is based on Oxford & Archeological Sources) is inaccurate, Even in the discussion at the talk page you failed to prove it.
    “I tried to remove that damned map because it was inaccurate, if you added it to the Regular Wikipedia page, it would be removed instantly and for good reason. I just want to preserve the integrity of this site.”
    I'm not replying this because you're being agnorant atp, see Wikipedia:Researching with Wikipedia. Based Kashmiri (talk) 18:13, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I will discuss the map later.
    But has my name been cleared at least ? AlvaKedak (talk) 21:22, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Based Kashmiri still hasn't responded for for the past three days. I assume this either means that the sockpuppet allegations against me have been resolved, or they are busy with other things. AlvaKedak (talk) 19:54, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The user did however did state in the Commons: Deletion Request page for the map they created, that I am a long term sockpuppet who has been personal attacking them and creating disruptive edits in multiple wiki projects, I want to make it clear that these claims are entirely false. While I am not fully familiar with the entire situation, I did see that there are four other users listed below me, who I assume may have engaged in sockpuppetry and personally disliked this user. I would like to clarify that I am not associated with any of them. I have no personal animosity toward @Based Kashmiri; I simply have disagreements with them on the map that's all. AlvaKedak (talk) 19:57, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I can find no evidence to suggest that the user is engaging in sockpuppetry. Our database shows nothing. fr33kman 20:03, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Well that's the end of that. Thank you @Fr33kman for looking into this situation.
    And while I do disagree with @Based Kashmiri on the map, I do think it's unfortunate that the user has received personal attacks for reporting actual sockpuppetry, I hope they're doing alright. AlvaKedak (talk) 17:43, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alireza-Jadidi accounts

[change source]

All three accounts have concentrated on a non-notable BLP of a musician, originally created under the title Alireza Jadidi. They have no contributions outside of this topic. The first and second accounts created the articles Alireza Jadidi (Logs) and Alireza-Jadidi (Logs), respectively. The third account removed the quick deletion (QD) templates from the article when it was nominated for deletion. Given their focus on the same subject and overlapping activities, it is likely that these accounts are operated by the same user. – Cyber.Eyes.2005Talk 16:16, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the global account for each, they are all blocked on Wikidata as being socks. Ravensfire (talk) 16:23, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Seongjo accounts

[change source]

The 1st user is named after Seongjo (possible hoax from the Korean Peninsula), which is suspected as hoax and the author is estimated as pretending to be a king (Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2024/Seongjo), and this intent is same as Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Archive21#Muhammad_Luqman_accounts. The 1st user made Kingdom of Ganghwa (claimed micronation in the Korean Peninsula), which involves the combination of English/Malay/Korean, and this combination is very unusual in general but common when handling Muhammad Luqman CU cases. This trend can also be seen in the 2nd/3rd user and w:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Lh1011/Archive#27_July_2024 (corresponding enwiki SPI case). Please also note that micronations in the Korean Peninsula is very popular to these types of accounts. MathXplore (talk) 10:28, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ghana Music Awards USA accounts

[change source]

I assume that the 1st and 2nd users are related to each other via the overlap at Ghlagatin. The 1st user is named after Ghana Music Awards USA and they were working hard on w:Draft:Ghana_Music_Awards_USA. The 3rd user was working hard on Ghana Music Awards USA. Can the 3rd user be related to the others? MathXplore (talk) 14:44, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I checked all four, there's no direct overlap of addresses. What I do see though, that of the four IP4 numbers, at least 2 match (giving 65k addresses to play with). In the case of GMAUSA, Impeltravels and Ghlagatin, 3 of thr 4 octets match (bringing them as close as 256 addresses). MichealBlison looks unrelated (there only 2 of the 4 octets match).
