    This is the place to request sockpuppet checks and other investigations requiring access to the Checkuser privilege. Possible alternatives are listed below.

    Requests likely to be accepted

    Code Situation Solution, requirements
    A Blatant attack or vandalism accounts, need IP block Submit new section at #Requests for IP check, below
    B Evading blocks, bans and remedies issued by arbitration committee Submit case subpage, including link to closed arb case
    C Ongoing, serious pattern vandalism with many incidents Submit case subpage, including diffs

    F Evading blocks, bans and remedies issued by community Submit case subpage, including link to evidence of remedy
    G Does not fit above, but you believe check needed Submit case subpage, briefly summarize and justify

    Requests likely to be rejected

    Situation Solution
    Obvious, disruptive sock puppet Block, no checkuser needed
    Disruptive "throwaway" account used only for a few edits Block, no checkuser needed
    Checkuser on yourself to "prove your innocence" Such requests are rarely accepted, please do not ask
    Related to ongoing arbitration case Request checkuser on the arbitration case pages
    Vote fraud, ongoing vote Wait until vote closes before listing, or post at Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets
    Vote fraud, closed vote, did not affect outcome List at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents or Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets
    Other disruption of articles List at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents or Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets
    Open proxy, IP address already known List at Wikipedia:WikiProject Open proxies
    You want access to the checkuser tool yourself Contact the Arbitration Committee, but such access is granted rarely


    When submitting a request

    • If submitting a new case subpage, use the inputbox below; if adding to an existing case subpage, see WP:RFCU/P#Repeat requests.
    • Choose the code letter that best fits your request. Provide evidence such as diff links as required or requested. Note that some code letters inherently require specific evidence.
    • When listing suspected accounts or IP addresses, use the {{checkuser}} or {{checkip}} templates. Please do not use this template in a section header.
    • You may add your request to the top of the #Outstanding requests section, by adding {{Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/CASENAMEHERE}}. If you do not, clerks should check for pages in Category:Checkuser requests to be listed and will do this for you.
    • Sign your request.


    After submitting a request

    File a Checkuser Request
    Cases are created on subpages of Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case.
    If you require help or advice, ask at Wikipedia talk:Requests for checkuser.

    If a case subpage already exists, edit the existing page instead, either adding to the currently open section (if the case is not yet archived) or adding a new section to the top (if the case has been archived). When editing an existing case, be sure to list it here or add Category:Checkuser requests to be listed to the subpage.

    If creating a new case subpage, add the name of the main account (or "puppetmaster", not the sockpuppet!) in the box below. Leave out the "User:" prefix. Do not remove the text in the box, add the name to the end only (that is, append the name to the existing text). Then press "Request a checkuser" and you will be taken to a page where you can fill out the request.

    Example: if you want to request a checkuser on User:John Doe, enter the text:
    Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/John Doe

    Declined requests

    If you are creating a new request about this user, please add it to the top of the page, above this notice. Don't forget to add
    {{Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser}}
    to the checkuser page here. Previous requests (shown below), and this box, will be automatically hidden on Requests for checkuser (but will still appear here).
    The following discussion is preserved as an archive of a Request for checkuser. Please do not modify it.

    Creepy Crawler (again)

    request links: view • edit • links • history • watch
    Filed: 01:12, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
    • Code letter: B

    User:Stakelover has quickly recreated a deleted article on Spider-Man film cast members, which had been created by one of the many sockpuppets of repeatedly permanently banned User:Creepy Crawler/User:EJBanks. Coupled with the short list of edits this user has made already (he always edits Spider-Man movie articles and Days of our Lives articles), it's already clear that this has to be Creepy Crawler/EJBanks. Most recent sockpuppet case appears at Wikipedia:Suspected_sock_puppets/EJBanks(4th). Doczilla 01:12, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    no Declined. Stale. Way too old to check. Voice-of-All 02:51, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]


    Completed requests


    The following discussion is preserved as an archive of a Request for checkuser. Please do not modify it.

    Editingoprah

    Infected case at Black people (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). It needs to be cleared if sockpuppets are being used to make it difficult or impossible to resove the dispute, and to evade 3RR violations. It has been brought forth that Editingoprah is using socks. It will make things easier if the issue of socks can be cleared as the discussion is infected enough as it is. Ezeu 19:32, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

     Additional information needed Please provide evidence of alleged policy violations. Mackensen (talk) 16:12, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    Possible (several) 3RR violations by one or more of the listed accounts (if it turns out the accounts are sockpuppets) are listed here. The main concern is that they are creating a disruptive atmosphere. I couldnt possibly claim evidence that Editingoprah is a sockmaster (which I strongly suspect he is). That is why I am requesting a checkuser. If these accounts are not sock-accounts, then their names will be cleared. --Ezeu 14:12, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    It's vaguely possible. All three accounts edit from the same geographical area, but from different ISPs. Could be meatpuppetry. Mackensen (talk) 21:55, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the Request for checkuser. Please do not modify it.
    Subsequent requests related to this user should be made     above, in a new section.


    </noinclude>


    Requests for IP check

    • Vandal and attack accounts may be listed here for the purpose identifying and blocking the underlying IP address or open proxy. Requests to confirm sockpuppets of known users should be listed in the sockpuppet section above.
    • If you already know the IP address of the suspected open proxy, list it at Wikipedia:Open Proxies instead.
    • Use === Subsections ===, do not create subpages.
    • List user names using the {{checkuser|username}} template. Add new reports to the top of the section.
    • Requests may be acted on or declined according to the discretion of the checkuser admins. Responses will be noted here.
    • Answered requests will be moved to Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/IP check for 7 days, after which they will be deleted. No separate archive (other than the page history) will be maintained.

    NisarKand

    NisarKand (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki) is known for having one or more sockuppets, and for having partly vandalized Afghanistan-related articles. After two of his sockpuppets were discovered and blocked by admin User:Khoikhoi, two other characters have shown up in the very same articles, continuing NisarKand's discussions and edits (see Afghanistan and Mahmud of Ghazni). Please check the following two accounts, since - I believe - it's very likely that they are two more sockpuppets of NisarKand, since both accounts are new and have directly jumped into existing discussions and edit-wars:

    1. NisarKand (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)
    2. King of Spirits (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)
    3. Italisa (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)

    Already blocked sockpuppets of that person are:

    1. King Nisar (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)
    2. Pashtun (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)

    Maybe you are right, but I do not know any word that could describe his actions properly. As for User:King of Spirits and User:Italisa: User:King of Spirits has already admitted that User:Italisa is his girlfried, using the same computer [1]. Since they both not only use the same computer, but also have the same agenda, they should be treated like one and the same person. It does not matter anyway, because I am sure that these two are also sockpuppets of NisarKand and that the entire girlfriend-story is made up. Tājik 01:02, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-impostor

    Simple usernameblock from early November (until I saw he created Ryulong the second time around). Probably an open proxyish person.—Řÿūłóñģ (竜龍) 06:20, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    Jinxtengu

    I, for one, am quite sick of watching this user stalk Persian Poet Gal (talk · contribs) every time her page is unprotected. It's been going on for nearly a month. It would be nice if we could get an underlying IP address, and hopefully block the thing for a good long while if it's static. I'm not an admin, so I can't apply the block, but if anyone could, please note that the stalking has been out of control. BTW, sockpuppetry is obvious and not in question.

    Veignmacrae, Blaychess

    Both created today, one claiming to be an Eddie Segoura sock and the other claiming to be an alternate account of User:SPUI, proposed current arbitration pages for deletion at MfD, then vandalized the user pages of editors who reverted. Newyorkbrad 19:23, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    Who picked up right where Blaychess left off. FreplySpang 19:34, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    ... and yesterday's incarnations, editing in the same pattern, showing a fondness for Highboy Lane and claiming to be controversial editors. (In this case, User:Homeontherange.) FreplySpang 19:36, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    Also Duffymeister, who created the Veignmacrae, Blaychess and Pflineg accounts. [2] FreplySpang 19:44, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    Fumigate

    These accounts are either the same user, or acting in concert. Mainly established for only a day, they are carrying out identical, and linked, defamatory edits to Roland Rance, David Bukay, Steven Plaut, Kurt Nimmo and User:RolandR. The same attacks have also been made by unregistered users 207.67.145.222, 207.67.145.171, 207.67.146.174, 207.67.145.147, 93.225.200.93, 132.74.99.84, 198.172.203.223 84.109.62.205 and possibly others.RolandR 22:53, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    Becaboo 06

    Becaboo 06 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and a group of what appear to be pre-teen girls are using WP as a social networking site. If possible I'd like to confirm if the below, all of which I believe were created by Becaboo06 in response to being warned against using WP for idle chat, are indeed from a common IP, and if so, is it a school IP (very likely). If it is a school IP, we can attempt to contact the administrators and issue some sage advice, since this kind of thing is open to some pretty serious abuse.

    Hoax articles

    It looks likely that Capurt and Giovanni DonCara are hoaxes: in which case, User:Thelightside, User:Qwertyqwerty12345, User:Seventeen12 and User:Bateman12 look likely to be sockpuppets of the hoaxer. It's also possible that User:Moshi1234 may also be another sockpuppet of the hoaxer. Can someone do a checkuser on these accounts in order to help block their originating IP, and see if there are any other accounts/articles which need to be reexamined in the light of this? -- The Anome 19:50, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    Yes, they are all sockpuppets of one another. Here's the full list, as closely as I can make it out:

    It might also be worth verifying the existence of Jon Graboff, which could be another hoax. Raul654 20:24, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
