Revision as of 08:47, 9 June 2024
CheckUser is the process of checking information about two or more users (including named users and IPs). Special users 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.

Joshua Obedeke (JO) has a global record of spams related to malala.org, etc., at here and other English sister projects. Due to such activities, JO is already blocked at enwiki. Now I found that Olori Ayilala Paparazi (OAP) made an user page about malala.org but the page starts with Joshua Akporobaro Obedeke (JO's full name). Why would a new account make an user page with someone else's name and same URL? Once confirmed, please consider applying WP:ONESTRIKE to JO. MathXplore (talk) 02:41, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

There are several blocked/locked accounts connected with this page (commons:Category:Sockpuppets of Maulana Javed Haider ZAIDPURI), and a brand new account has selected such a page as their first move. Please investigate their relations. MathXplore (talk) 04:55, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Page history and deleted revisions of Samarth Kaimliya and the history of d:Q125904981 shows the overlap of these accounts. Since the first user is already blocked at enwiki per w:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Michaellko, please consider WP:ONESTRIKE when confirmed. MathXplore (talk) 04:31, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

d:Special:Contributions/Dewberry23, fr:Special:Contributions/Dewberry23, and local contributions suggest that their recent objective is to increase the recognition of User:Ivan P. Clarin. Many months have passed since the last AN/I discussions and I don't know how many of us know well about Ivan. My question is, "Who would choose to make Ivan Earl P. Clarin and their interwiki counterparts except Ivan himself?". MathXplore (talk) 01:32, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- The Dewberry account was confirmed to another Locked account... and I'll be the first to say something stinks about the other account. But no direct overlap. Operator873 connect 02:19, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Please note that the 2nd account is already blocked by me per WP:ONESTRIKE, and the 3rd account is already CU-blocked by User:Bsadowski1.
I would like to alert that a brand new account has substantial activity overlaps and share similar interests with previously blocked/locked accounts in a short term. All involved accounts are editing Miss Universe Myanmar, and w:Special:Contributions/Thunder652 suggests that the brand new account has strong interest in this subject. Please see w:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/AungKaung932 for the related enwiki SPI page. I look forward to hearing from the CUs. Once confirmed, I will report this to m:SRG as a lock evasion case. MathXplore (talk) 06:46, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

As concerned in Special:Diff/9575212, we have too many accounts involved in over-reverting at this article, and some accounts have very low edit counts. Can the appearance of so many new accounts concentrate in one article in a short term less than 3 months? SeatedSnow (SS) is the latest account among this request, and their edit summary of special:diff/9580657 is a copy of our admins (special:diff/9570001). This coincidence suggests that SS already knows the status of the article in this project. Please investigate the relations between these accounts. MathXplore (talk) 04:04, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

- Olliey2b (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · SUL · CA · checkuser (log))
I would like to alert that a brand new account has substantial activity overlaps with previously blocked/locked accounts in a short term, and I don't think this is a miracle. The first user has overlap at:
- Nicktoons (American TV channel) with OllieE2b (OE) and Olliey2b (OY),
- 20th Century Studios, Entertainment One with OE
- File:AT&T logo 2016.svg with OY, please compare commons:special:diff/880683110, commons:special:diff/881632011, and commons:special:diff/881655818 (please also note that over-reverting is one of the biggest issues of OE, as explained in the block summaries of enwiki/commons/simplewiki)

- There is a great number of IP addresses, Eceerp seems to be the main user (with most different IPs, and most edits). As far as I can see, there is one case where Srehcraeht and Eceerp share an IP address. Between the other users, there are no shared IPs as far as I can see. Srehcraeht is globally locked, so there's little to do here. This also means that from CU, I see no relationship of Dublevex, Yarverdna to the other two, or to each other. All use the same ISP, but that's not ground enough for blocking... Eptalon (talk) 08:39, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, after the last time you did a check, I was afraid that would be the answer. So probably go to AN for a behavior based block. Thanks for the check! Ravensfire (talk) 14:44, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

- CU wise, I get three IP addresses, for the two users (in a city of about 10 million people, in Asia). The IPs do ont overlap. It is possible that we are looking at the same user, who connects from a dektop computer, and perhaps using a monbile phone. When I look at the edits, I find that except for these pagers, the users have virtually no other edits on our wikipedia. Fro this reason, I didn't block the two editors (as CU). Eptalon (talk) 17:06, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

A recent post drew my attention to the likely possibility that they are the same person. See [17] The first user is also doing a lot of work within the users userspace. I don’t see any permissions given to them. But that response is very suspicious and I also noticed under the first account of doing category work and was created while the user was blocked here.

Since the page Parvej Husen Talukder has been repeatedly deleted (G5), I cannot see the creation logs. A user created Parvej Husen Talukder (poet) which was also deleted under G5. The account above was just created and their only edit was this Wikipedia:Deletion review#Parvej Husen Talukder (poet). Since CUs have access to the logs, they should be able to see the accounts and if any other user (perhaps @MathXplore) has the account names, they are free to add them.
