This page is for requesting CheckUser information on a wiki with no local CheckUsers (see also requesting checkuser access). Make sure to follow the following instructions, or your request may not be processed in a timely manner.

Before making a request:

  1. Make sure you have a good reason for the check. It will only be accepted to counter vandalism or disruption to Wikimedia wikis. Valid reasons include needing a block of the underlying IP or IP range, disruptive sockpuppetry, vote-stacking, and similar disruption where the technical evidence from running a check would prevent or reduce further disruption.
  2. Be specific in your reasons. Ambiguous or insufficient reasons will cause delays. Explain the disruption and why you believe the accounts are related, ideally using diff links or other evidence.
  3. Make sure there are no local checkusers.
  4. Please ensure that the check hasn't already been done:


How to make a request

How to make a request:

  • Place your request at the bottom of the section, using the template below (see also {{srcu}} help). 
    === Username@xx.project ===
{{CU request
 |status          = <!--don't change this line-->
 |language code   = 
 |project shortcut= 
 |user name1      = 
 |user name2      = 
 |user name3      = 
<!-- Max 10 users -->
 |discussion      = [[Example]]<!-- local confirmation link / local policy link -->
 |reason          = Reasons here. ~~~~
}}

    For example: 

    === Example@en.wikipedia ===
{{CU request
 |status          = <!--don't change this line-->
 |language code   = en
 |project shortcut= w
 |user name1      = Example
 |user name2      = Foo
 |user name3      = Bar
<!-- Max 10 users -->
 |discussion      = [[:w:en:Example]]<!-- local confirmation link / local policy link -->
 |reason          = Reasons here. ~~~~
}}

Requests

SE213193@az.wikipedia

Status:    On hold
List of users
SE213193 (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)
Patriot Kor (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)
Reason(s): SE213193's user account has recently been created, and user's edits and contributions suggest that they are an experienced user. Ten days after the account was created, SE213193 participated in a discussion initiated by the Patriot Kor regarding the blocking of a user of azwiki, supporting the Patriot Kor's comments and endorsing the blocking of the user in question. Therefore, I suspect they might be the same person. Sura Shukurlu (talk) 12:11, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Sotiale, hi. Could you please check the requests? Sura Shukurlu (talk) 17:34, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not Sotiale, but I'm not sure this in itself is enough to go by for performing a check? They appear to be editing within minutes of each other on several occasions and editing styles don't appear to be similar. Is there anything else suggesting that this is indeed sockpuppetry? EPIC (talk) 17:59, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@EPIC, the user SE213193, despite being new, appears quite experienced. The user's sudden discovery of the "Complaint" section is also quite suspicious. Additionally, the user frequently use the "Wikificator" tool, which is also often used by Patriot Kor. Sura Shukurlu (talk) 18:23, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@EPIC, @Sotiale, could you please take a look? Sura Shukurlu (talk) 10:57, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think I'm going to leave this to Sotiale, since I have noted my thoughts above. EPIC (talk) 11:05, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@EPIC, thank you for your attention. Sura Shukurlu (talk) 11:14, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This comes down to suspicion vs. evidence. At this time, this is not sufficient evidence to connect a 13k edit user to an alleged sockpuppet. Instead of claiming they are not new, please use diffs to backup the claims and provide evidence that shows they would be the same person other than just linking to a thread.
Please also note we review this page on about a daily basis. Please do not continually ping stewards to attend to your request throughout the day. -- Amanda (she/her) 13:43, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello all. I blocked SE213193 because she admitted to being an experienced user but refused to give her main account name. Although this account is new, she somehow found out about this checkuser request and started questioning Sura for opening this request. I don't think she is Patriot Kor, but I think we need a single account check for User:SE213193. Nemoralis (talk) 21:55, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Since Fishing CheckUser is not for fishing, we need to have a second account to check with along with evidence that it would be them, so unfortunately the check cannot be performed until then. EPIC (talk) 22:10, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Asel007@az.wikipedia

Status:    In progress
List of users
Goldenmath (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)
Qazanxan (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)
Asel007 (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)
Reason(s): Hi. Could you check this user too? Many sockpuppet accounts have been used in this discussion, and I suspect this one also might be one of them. As a new user, they have come to the discussion and labeled the article's deletion nomination as "biased.". Sura Shukurlu (talk) 21:36, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Elmtehsilbiliktelim@az.wikipedia

Status:    In progress
List of users
Arzuka (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)
Reason(s): There was use of puppets on the page I mentioned above and the accounts were blocked (per Steward requests/Checkuser/2024-07#Elmtehsilbiliktelim@az.wikipedia). After a short while, this user comes (newly registered) and creates this page (see: az:Xüsusi:Töhfələr/Arzuka). I asked him if he had anything to do with the user. And he denied it but said he was monitoring his activities and praised the articles his created. A big possible duck situation. Gadir (talk) 21:27, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
