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.

PoppisJumbo

[change source]

On June 16, PoppisJumbo created Suryansh Tibarewal which was QD'd as not-notable. Two days later, Goren34 created Tibarewal Suryansh on the same subject (currently at RFD). Both editing patterns suggest WP:PAID editing -- editing/creating "normal" articles, then sliding the paid article in after establishing themselves as "normal" editor.

The first two are likely, the others are not confirmed fr33kman 21:19, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected block evasion to engage in tendentious editing. Steven1991 (talk) 19:26, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

We need more than just a suspicion. Can you give us some diffs of what you suspect? Also wouldn't be able to comment on the IP as it's against policy to identify people like that. fr33kman 21:28, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Before the suspected sockmaster was blocked: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
The suspected sockmaster was blocked yesterday: 6
After the suspected sockmaster was blocked: 7 and 8, basically restoring the same content while refusing to discuss or justify themselves.
User page edit comparison: 9 and 10 Steven1991 (talk) 21:40, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
