Shortcuts

CheckUser is the process of checking information about two or more users (including named users and IP addresses). 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.

User:KENNY BzY and User:Finnex de star

[change source]

The 1st user has made a biography of the 2nd user in their own userpage, and the context of the 1st user's user page ([1]) suggests that these users are related to each other in real world. Please also see the following abuse filter logs:

These logs show that the 1st user tried to edit the userpage of the 2nd user. MathXplore (talk) 23:28, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(Non-administrator observation) It seems like that Finnex de Star is the sock of user KENNY BzY, or I may be wrong here, because sometimes I don't know as much. But the Abuse log shows that they definitely tried to edit another user's page. I don't really know if it counts as sockpuppetry or not. 𝓐𝓭𝓮𝓵𝓪𝓲𝓭𝓮 (𝓽𝓪𝓵𝓴 ♡ 𝓬𝓸𝓷𝓽𝓻𝓲𝓫𝓼) 23:32, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I ran a check, and I have to say that with the infos I have, I cannot prove they are ther same user. They are from the same country, but they use different ISPs, so their IP addresses are different. Their bowsers are, too. So, from a CU point of view: no match,sorry Eptalon (talk) 15:58, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Eptalon: I have found more users related to these QD G11 and w:WP:NOTWEBHOST cases.
This user also caused a QD G11 case in their userpage and the 1st user also edited here. Please see the deleted revisions of user:Favy rexha.
This user tried to edit the userpage of the 1st user. Please see Special:AbuseLog/563380 and Special:AbuseLog/563381. MathXplore (talk) 02:27, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Administrator note: Deleted content of User:Bhadboi jozzylee suggests that this user is related to the 1st and 2nd user. MathXplore (talk) 08:47, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Superfroggy21 and No more redundancy

[change source]

On 2nd February, Superfroggy21 (SF) edits the Hellabytes article and on the 2nd February starts a merge discussion at Talk:Hellabyte, SF edited other related articles in between and then stopped editing altogether,

On the 9th February, SF redirects the Hellabytes article to Ronnabytes, No more redundancy (NMR) is then created at 9 Feb 19:44) and a minute later makes their first edit supporting the merge,

It seems a rather big coincidence that NMR had somehow found that merge discussion and knew how to comment, I believe SF was socking in order to decieve people here into believing there was consensus for merging when there obviously wasn't, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 23:49, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, both of them used the same IP address, and were blocked, accoringly. Eptalon (talk) 23:56, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Brilliant thank you @Eptalon, your help is always greatly appreciated, Have a great day, Thanks, Warm Regards, –Davey2010Talk 00:57, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
