Commons:Requests for checkuser

Shortcut: COM:CHECK, COM:RFCU, COM:SOCK Does your request belong here? This is the place to request sockpuppet checks or other investigations requiring CheckUser privileges. Checkuser is a last resort for difficult cases. Use other methods first. You can try posting on the administrator's noticeboard for example. Please do not ask us to run checks without good reason: These indicators are used by CheckUsers to allow easier at-a-glance reading of their notes, actions and comments. Request completed Confirmed Likely Possible Unlikely Inconclusive Unrelated Completed Stale Request declined Declined Checkuser is not for fishing. Checkuser is not magic pixie dust. The CheckUser Magic 8-Ball says  It looks like a duck to me Checkuser is not a crystal ball. Information Additional information needed Deferred to  Doing…  Info Running a check will only be done to combat disruption on Commons, or as required to assist CheckUser investigations on other Wikimedia wikis. Valid reasons for running a check include vandalism where a block of the underlying IP or IP range is needed, disruptive sockpuppetry, vote-stacking, and similar disruption where the technical evidence from running a check would prevent or reduce further disruption to Wikimedia projects. Requests to run a check with ambiguous reasoning will result in delays - please provide a rationale at the time you make the request Show what the disruption to the project is, and why you believe the accounts are related. Requests to run a check on yourself will be declined The privacy policy does not allow us to make a check that has the effect of revealing IP addresses. Outcome Responses will be brief in order to comply with Wikimedia privacy policy. Due to technical limitations, results are not always clear. Check back regularly to see the outcome of your request. Closed requests are archived after seven days. Privacy violation? If you feel that a checkuser has led to a violation of the Wikimedia Foundation privacy policy regarding yourself, please refer the case to the Ombudsman commission.

To request a check: Cases are created on subpages of Commons:Requests for checkuser/Case. Creating a request Insert the name of the suspected sockpuppeteer (the main account or puppetmaster, not the sockpuppet!) in the box below, leaving out the "User:" prefix. Do not remove the text in the box, add to the end only. Please explain/justify the request by saying what it is you suspect and why it is important that the check be carried out. Indicate the usernames you suspect, using {{checkuser}}. Please do not use this template in the section header, as that makes it difficult to read the account names. Include the diffs or links required to support the request and reason for it. There are people to assist you and help with maintenance of the page. Just ask for help on the admin noticeboard if you really are stuck, or take your best shot and note that you weren't completely sure of what to say. 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/transclude the subpage here. Example If you want to request a checkuser on User:John Doe, enter the text Commons:Requests for checkuser/Case/John Doe then click "Request a checkuser." You will be taken to a page where you can fill out the request. Please make your request there brief and concise. Then transclude your subpage on the top of the list at Commons:Requests for checkuser and remove {{Checkuser requests to be listed}} from the top of the case subpage.

Rationale, discussion and results

@Krd: is there any value in checkuser'ing these, or are we just creating more work without a valued result?  — billinghurst sDrewth 00:27, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

@Billinghurst: I'd say it's at least partially productive, even if I cannot check every sock there are always a few very easy to catch. --Krd 15:41, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

Rationale, discussion and results

Reason: Though that is true that the relevant block is ended, I suspect a block evasion (this block) to continue to upload copyvios (same kind of deleted contributions in the same period as the block cited above). Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 16:04, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

Rationale, discussion and results

Reason: Editor has been harrasing users crosswiki and he continues to be a piece of shit. Not to mention he socks alot too. Teach this user how to behave properly by blocking all accounts above indefinitely and use manners on Wikimedia projects. "UCLA and Stanford only!" -TT (talk) 01:25, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

• Declined only two accounts listed even exist on Commons, and the one is a legit use of an alternate account. Requester has provided no proof or even assertion of abuse on Commons. What's more, requester himself has engaged in malicious sockpuppetry and unnecessary personal attacks, showing a clear case of unclean hands (i.e., acting in bad faith).

@Magog the Ogre: I recommend deleting this at some point, to deny recognition and to protect the innocent. Guanaco (talk) 03:39, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
