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).

~2026-34959-76 (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)
Reason(s): The ~2026-34959-76 temporary account constantly vandalized the ro:Happy Channel article, together with Radulescuanamariaelena. Initially, I thought it was some sort of alliance, but the temporary user has now left the edit war and only Radulescuanamariaelena had remained until my last revert.

Reason(s): These accounts exhibit similar editing interests and behaviors, predominantly focusing on articles related to Mongolia, Xinjiang, and Tibet. Our community has sorted out their behavioral interactions at w:zh:User:Kurgenera/SPI. And I've followed up thorough further investigations on private mailing list and applied necessary administrative action on specific target as a local sysop. While I understand that some accounts using VPNs (even the same range), I'm including them here to see if CU can reveal any underlying connections now. DEbopexe is one of the confirmed sock in previous CU, and Local SPI clerk endorsed. Sorry for the long list and thanks in advance for your help. Hamish 06:55, 29 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Hi all - Just updating on the request: all accounts listed except FitchPepys, Alsafa365, Roxanne Godwin, Frisonnit, EginaldTrosin946885, Gsgarzo, WadeRussell, Captain Jack Lee, Kknksnfd, Yiberifowuti, 刘巴伦, 香蕉凤梨酥, Alfgaws, Chris5655, Deirdremoss, and 为世界做贡献 have been locally blocked through duck. Again, thanks in advance for processing the check. --（☎）dt 09:02, 29 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
It does not seem wise to spend too much time investigating all the numerous accounts. If not all of them need to be investigated and some are merely for reference, I request that you categorize them.
For example, dividing them into three groups—1) accounts that have not yet been blocked and require investigation, 2) accounts that have already been investigated, and 3) accounts that have already been blocked by Duck—would make our work a little easier. Thank you in advance. --Sotiale (talk) 13:48, 4 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Hamish and ATannedBurger: I went and assisted with finding my own evidence, as this was a massive list, and I understand the undertaking it is. The problem is, I got through what is the bulk of the farm with Group 1, and the rest is not easily coming together for me. So my compromise here, is to ask you to grab a few more (~4 accounts) of the most prolific ones that I haven't checked yet, show me the evidence for those high edit accounts, which are likely to yield the most in CU, and I can look at that. I definitely think you have a bot farm or a UPE editing farm going on, but the extent and connections are very blurry now after dealing with group 1. -- Amanda (she/her) 01:29, 7 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I've been caught in the middle of some real life stuff recently, will soon respond. Hamish one great show can change the world 03:21, 10 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I personally would prefer to run check on Venice90, FitchPepys, Trevelyany, WadeRussell. Although their editing patterns aren't identical, I strongly suspect they are operated by the same person,, main common behaviour is original research. Details:
  1. Venice90 is on the same VPN range and starts to edit articles with regard to Inner Mongolia, then they do newcomers tasks to reach 50 contributions (to gain AC?) and soon stopped. [1]
  2. FitchPepys initials account with editing to Xinjiang, Tibet, and copyvio. [2]
  3. Trevelyany edits Xinjiang related articles and did copyvio as well. Their reply to SPI and edit summary (compared to [3]) share noticeable stylistic similarity.
  4. WadeRussell introduced copyvio and have a similar writing style like confirmed socks, edits Xinjiang related articles.
Thank you in advance. Hamish one great show can change the world 22:07, 10 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Visnu92 (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)
Reason(s): Possible block evasion by Visnu92, which was globally locked. Suspected pro-Tamil + anti-Chinese POV pushing. Refer to link in Discussion section. PeaceSeekers (talk) 11:07, 8 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
V92 has been locked for 11 months, there would be no checkuser data to compare, What do you want us to compare? — xaosflux Talk 15:15, 8 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Is there any other ways to check whether Sayaanakmalaysia92 is block evading the Visnu92? Hakimi97 (talk) 16:01, 9 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
The primarily based on behavioural evidence suggesting possible block evasion. Sayaanakmalaysia92 appears to show editing patterns similar to Visnu92, including a strong focus on India- and Tamil-related articles, adding Tamil script to articles not specifically related to Tamil Nadu or the Tamil language, and removing Chinese-language or China-related content from various articles.
The discussion page contains diffs showing these similarities between the two accounts. Since a technical CheckUser comparison is no longer possible, could you please advise whether the behavioural evidence can be reviewed for possible block evasion, or whether there is another appropriate process for handling this case?
Thank you. Foryou42686 (talk) 05:41, 10 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
mswiki has active local admins that can review user conduct/behavior. Is there anything else requiring technical steward action here? — xaosflux Talk 15:33, 10 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Okay then, if nothing could be done here, please close this request as it is currently hard to take any further actions here. Hakimi97 (talk) 14:11, 11 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
