Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser

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 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.

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.

Disruptive editing on urination and human waste

[change source]

A number of accounts have been adding and removing an image over and over again on these pages. This is disruptive, and it seems to be using multiple accounts to cause disruption, which is not permitted, so I'm requesting checkuser for these accounts. It might also be good to block the IP addresses they are using.

Disneymegamaster1995 and Disneyultramaster95

[change source]

This individual has been adding a influences section to various articles under IPs and then under DM1995 and now DUM95 (see the histories here and here), I final warned Disneymegamaster1995 in April and it all went quiet but they've now returned on a new account, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 19:27, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Malik Kafur

[change source]

Mr.Hanes was blocked in April as connected to Malik Kafur. Slave of Ar-Rahman is blocked on English Wikipedia as a suspected sock of Kirny Wirny (who has not edited here on Simple since March). One of Slave of Ar-Rahman's edits is to Capture of Samarqand which was created by Mr.Hanes. The Mr.Hanes dyad and the Slave of Ar-Rahman dyad have similar "obscure Asian history" interests. Can a checkuser look into any connection between these pairs? CountryANDWestern (talk) 19:26, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Steven1991

[change source]

This is an odd one. I was involved in a dispute with Steven last year on EN.Wiki. That debacle eventually resulted in Steven being blocked from En.Wiki for harassment among other things. The block on En.wiki has since been assumed by ARBCOM. Yesterday, it came to my attention that they were posting defamatory statements about me as a result of their disagreements with me. They have now been blocked here as well, but since then, I have noticed over 300 attempts to log into my account. I strongly suspect that Steven is behind this and would like to know if you can check in on that. Insanityclown1 (talk) 19:12, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No, checkuser doesn't work like that, I'd suggest you make sure your password is strong and that you enable 2FA. fr33kman 16:50, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yobestie0

[change source]

I could be completely wrong on this but I believe all 3 accounts are one person, It seems that when this person is reverted they then give up reverting back and create another account, In the case of Jackley they created their account and made their first edit reverting me[1] (reinstating Slomzy0932's edits) which I find extremely bizarre,

Yobestie0 and Slomzy0932 edited mostly Olivia Rodrigo which is the article Jackley reverted me on, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 18:11, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Confirmed plus a bunch of other accounts all editing the same article fr33kman 21:19, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you kind sir, Your help is as always greatly appreciated :), Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 22:03, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Just for public record, it turns out this person has an extensive history of socking > en:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Slomzy0932/Archive –Davey2010Talk 22:06, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:Ayyuban

[change source]

I ask CU for a block review. 1st is CU-blocked by Fr33kman, 2nd/3rd is blocked by SPI results. 3rd is asking unblock.

Please use the above to review the unblock. MathXplore (talk) 07:59, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am 100% sure Ayyuban are Tishreen. If they don't match, they must be using another device to avoid the block because in the past, even though they were Tishreen, the result was always "Possible". If the same thing happens, I have more evidence. I can send this to either of you via gmail. Kajmer05 (talk) 08:12, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Kajmer05: They are unblocked. Please send the information to Fr33kman. MathXplore (talk) 23:17, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@MathXplore Hello, I sent him the evidence, he admitted that he was a little suspicious, but they said that he opened his block because he was cautious because of the CU results, and I asked him to block them thanks to the behavioral evidence because I know that the user avoids the block. Kajmer05 (talk) 23:22, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Fr33kman I sent you two more important mails, could you please review them? Kajmer05 (talk) 09:58, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I sent both of you as a precaution. Kajmer05 (talk) 11:43, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Jaggtu and Bolttyyu

[change source]

I'd almost go by the fact it's a duck running around. Both adding wrong info about Presidents. See Special:Diff/10383707 and Special:Diff/10385819. I blocked Jaggtu already, I guess I can do the same with the other. -Barras talk 15:46, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
