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. ~~~~
}}

MADS Leo@zh.wikipedia

Status: Withdrawn
List of users
MADS Leo (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser )
Xuan fgh (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser )
Reason(s): The users above promoted a "MADS team" from their contributions, but after days of discussion, we can't decide if they are ducks; moreover the local submitter suspects them to be an LTA as MADS Leo provoked him after the discussion started. So technical proof should be helpful. Thanks. --Super Wang (Chinese Wikimedian since 2009 | Greetings from Dalian) 00:25, 22 August 2021 (UTC) [reply ]
I'm not particularly seeing where the abuse of multiple accounts has come in. Yes, there may be use, but that's one edit to the userpage stating "MADS team". I obviously can't read Chinese sock puppetry policy, but the default checkuser policy requires some sort of suspected abuse of multiple accounts. And to be clear the actual abuse has to extend over both accounts, not just come from one of them. Can we please clarify this? -- Amanda (aka DQ) 04:29, 22 August 2021 (UTC) [reply ]
Request withdrawn. My apologies for wasting your time. --Super Wang (Chinese Wikimedian since 2009 | Greetings from Dalian) 14:14, 22 August 2021 (UTC) [reply ]

Kalogeropoulos@el.wikipedia

Status: Not done
List of users
Kalogeropoulos (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser )
Skylax30 (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser )
188.73.245.160 (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser )
Reason(s): User Skylax30 has made a serious and false accusation in Admins Page that I have used I.P. 188.73.245.160 in order to ironically put Star of David, in his discussion page. I think that CU will clarify the situation. Thank you in advance for your time and your attention. I'll follow the page for further clarifications if needed Kalogeropoulos (talk) 06:36, 22 August 2021 (UTC) [reply ]
@Kalogeropoulos: I want to tell you about two things. First, according to your request, this request is to investigate you and Skylax30. If this is not true, then Skylax30 should be excluded from above list. Second, you are asking for this investigation to prove your innocence. This is generally not allowed. The community may be asking us to investigate you if they have suspicion that you have committed an abusive behavior. If the community is suspicious of you and needs an investigation, I think the community will form an opinion and submit a request to us. --Sotiale (talk) 10:45, 22 August 2021 (UTC) [reply ]
@Sotiale: Thanks a lot for your attention. Actually I 've asked community in Admin's Page for a CU either by Admins or Users. They didn't respond and in the mean time a user blocked in the past for puppetry is accussing me that I have conducted some kind of ip puppetry in order to offend him. I thing that is a serious accusation for an Admin. That's why I came here since community did not respond to my appeal. Of course you can exclude Skylax30 if you think that is inappropriate or out of rules.--Kalogeropoulos (talk) 11:11, 22 August 2021 (UTC) [reply ]
@Kalogeropoulos: Anyone can make a claim, but what matters is what the community thinks about their claim. What I'm curious about is whether their claims are taken with credibility and are taken seriously. If that's not the case, your investigation is unnecessary, and I think the community's lack of opinion is equally explainable. --Sotiale (talk) 11:17, 22 August 2021 (UTC) [reply ]
The CheckUser policy says that "some wikis allow an editor's IPs to be checked upon their request if, for example, there is a need to provide evidence of innocence against a sockpuppet allegation", I'm not sure if elwiki is one of them though. ~Styyx Talk? ^-^ 11:19, 22 August 2021 (UTC) [reply ]
Unfortunately there is not such a policy Styyx. So I 've to bear serious personal attacks without any means of proving the opposite. So be it Sotiale thanks for your attention and your time. Thank you also Styyx --Kalogeropoulos (talk) 11:37, 22 August 2021 (UTC) [reply ]
If the community doesn't take their claim seriously, I encourage you not to suffer the claims you think are false. If you think the user is attacking you without any proper evidence, request a block according to local policy. Then this request is marked not done.--Sotiale (talk) 12:03, 22 August 2021 (UTC) [reply ]
