Shortcuts

CheckUser is the process of checking information about two or more users (including named users and IP addresses). Some administrators 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.

The list of users with CheckUser access can be seen at: Special:ListUsers/checkuser.

Current requests

Users at Hamed Abbasi

Two new users that have both edited Hamed Abbasi and Mohammadreza Khodadai to remove RFD and Notability tags. These are new articles, one of which Mehdibhafoni65 created. NoteBaseWriter was created after warnings were left on Mehdibhafoni65's page. The other page was created by an IP editor who's probably the same person, but I know you can't connect them. Either sockpuppetry or WP:MEAT is happening here. Ravensfire (talk) 22:21, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the information I have, they locate to different countries. However: NoteBasedWriter uses a VPN/Open proxy, which we fobid; as a consequence, that account has been blocked. Eptalon (talk) 22:53, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Eptalon: Just noting that we don't simply block a user for using proxy. We block the proxies they are using and give user IPBE (on request) if there is a valid reason for proxy uses, unless there is other good reasons to block the user.--BRP ever 14:19, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Tishreen07

Both of them make edits to this article. [1][2]
Tishreen07 loves creating articles about the Iraqi-Kurdish conflicts. [3]
EwwyCat also creates an article on the same topic in enwiki. [4]
EwwyCat is confirmed to be Tishreen07's sock on enwiki. [5] Kajmer05 (talk) 15:09, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Tishreen07 has not edited here since 26 April on this project. They are currently on a 3 month block waiting to be unblocked. EwwyCat only has 2 edits made before 26th. I am doing random checks on this person. See Tishreen07's talk page for more info. No CU needed at this time. fr33kman 22:30, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I won't care anymore since they will be blocked again anyway, have a good day. Kajmer05 (talk) 22:33, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Fr33kman Today I reported Tishreen07's account to the sockpuppet investigation on the enwiki again and the result was Likely, so should I file a separate SPI file here again? They also edited the simple wiki. Kajmer05 (talk) 18:50, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I've dealt with the problem here and also find it likely. Thanks for your help. fr33kman 22:28, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Fr33kman Hello, user claims that he is not a sock maker, but in his previous socks Chillele and Pamorak also implied that they are not a sock maker, [6][7] but the sock master (Tishreen07) later admitted that he is a socking. [8][9] The same thing is happening right now. The user may be lying. I'm sorry to write this here. Kajmer05 (talk) 22:53, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Fr33kman The same thing happened before, I want to add a few more diffs. [10][11][12] Kajmer05 (talk) 23:01, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
They have admitted their socking to me as part of an unblock request. I have asked another checkuser to investigate since they deny that these new accounts are them despite it being likely (but not proved yet). Thx fr33kman 23:13, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello all, as per request, I also ran a check, my findings are below:
  • Tishreen07 and EwwyCat use the same internet service provider; their IP address ranges are different, there is no overlap.
  • EwwyCat made two edits to a page Tishreen07 has also edited (Rawandiz Revolt). Tishreen edited the page in January.
  • Tishreen07 only has edits to his/her talk page.
  • I checked one of the ip ranges Tishreen07 used. There were other users who edited from that range, at the beginning of the year; this activity has stopped since. Note that Tishreen07 admitted to socking earlier this year as part of the unblock request.
  • On this wiki, I see an automatic account creation for Chilele, there is no activity for Pamorak.
So in summary, my findings support what Tishreen07 has said, there was no activity from them, in the last time, other than editing their talk page. Eptalon (talk) 06:14, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with that too. Yes there has been some overlap with another account at the same ISP but I think AGF applies here. Thanks Eptalon fr33kman 19:25, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Users at VastavAI, Vatsavai, Vastav AI

Possible WP:EVASION, please note that several new users including an impersonator has appeared here in a day. MathXplore (talk) 23:37, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Confirmed plus 1 more fr33kman 18:00, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Paras Brahmani

The first account was blocked for advertising or promotion. The second account has added a similar image to an article created by the first account. The third account was created by the second account. The fourt account just has a similar username.

gideapac.com users

Possible WP:EVASION, both users are using the same link at Biodegradable plastic (special:diff/10234955, special:diff/10236292). MathXplore (talk) 23:35, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not confirmed fr33kman 18:05, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Users at Mahdi Alzaeri

The 1st user made the page, and the 2nd user removed QD tag (special:diff/10237292). MathXplore (talk) 12:59, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Confirmed fr33kman 18:07, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Fr33kman: Please see Daliedraiom90 (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · SUL · CA · checkuser (log)), who recreated the page. MathXplore (talk) 23:38, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Fr33kman: Please also see PeykanEditori (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · SUL · CA · checkuser (log)), who made Talk:Mahdi Alzaeri. MathXplore (talk) 00:06, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Both confirmed fr33kman 01:49, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Users at Mraimdy

Possible WP:EVASION, The 1st to the 3rd user have (re)created this page, and the 4th user quickly joined here after the 3rd user. Please compare with earlier CU results for the 1st/2nd user. MathXplore (talk) 23:49, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not confirmed, but I did find one extra user for the 3rd user which I've blocked. The ISPs are all different. fr33kman 01:55, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Tishreen07 (2)

AsianCell and EwwyCat are also editing the article created by Tishreen07. [13] I think this is enough as I have given more information and diff for EwwyCat above. Yesterday I filed SPI on the enwiki and the result was likely. [14] [15] Kajmer05 (talk) 11:16, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Very likely. I'll change the block back to indef and inform the user. fr33kman 14:31, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Users at Ashish Ghazipuri

The 1st user made the page before. After previous QD A4 cases, the 2nd user recreated it and also made Talk:Ashish Ghazipuri (w:WP:NOTFORUM). MathXplore (talk) 08:01, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

IPV4 and V6 geolocates to same place and ISP plus user agent date leads me to say very likely. 2nd user had a whole slew of alternate accounts which have been blocked. fr33kman 23:26, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
