Requesting a check

| Information | |
Please do not ask us to run checks without good reason; be aware of the following before requesting a check:
- Checkuser is a last resort for difficult cases; pursue other options first, such as posting on the administrator's noticeboard.
- 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, for example: vandalism where a block of the underlying IP or IP range is needed and suspected block evasion, vote-stacking, or other disruption where technical evidence would prevent or reduce further disruption.
- Evidence is required. When you request a check, you must include a rationale that demonstrates (e.g., by including diffs) what the disruption to the project is, and why you believe the accounts are related.
- Requests to run a check without evidence or with ambiguous reasoning will result in delays or the request not being investigated.
- The privacy policy does not allow us to make a check that has the effect of revealing IP addresses.
- Requests to run a check on yourself will be declined.
Outcome
Responses will be brief in order to comply with Wikimedia privacy policy. Due to technical limitations, results are not always clear. Closed requests are archived after seven days.
Privacy concerns
If you feel that a checkuser request has led to a violation of the Wikimedia Foundation privacy policy regarding yourself, please refer the case to the Ombuds commission.

- 37.111.212.188 (talk • contribs • WHOIS • RBL • tools • luxo's • crossblock • block user • block log
Rationale, discussion and results[edit]
Reason: (crosswiki abuse present) All of the users (not the IP) uploaded Special:Undelete/File:Abdullah_Al_Imran.jpg and engaged in promoting the person depicted in the photo. The IP created a promotional item about the person in Wikidata. I think a CU investigation should be conducted, to both find other accounts engaging in the disruption and IP block the user, if feasible. Thanks for looking into this.

- Most accounts are stale, but it appears very
Likely that Itsyourimran (talk • contribs • Luxo's • SUL • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log ) and Abdullah Al Imran (Cyber Security Specialist) (talk • contribs • Luxo's • SUL • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log ) are related, so I suggest to lock them and look into global contribs. --Krd 06:59, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

[edit]
- Higamijan (talk • contribs • Luxo's • SUL • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log )
Rationale, discussion and results[edit]
Reason: The new user uploaded the same images as the globally locked socks (e.g. File:Nicolás Atanes.jpg as uploaded by Awikiband and then deleted by Rastrojo). The other uploads are also about Virus Matemático, which was the central focus of the Remitbuber socks at enwiki. MarkH21 (talk) 20:24, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
- Higamijan has been blocked by Magog the Ogre for abusing multiple accounts, so I presume this has been confirmed. Pinging @Magog the Ogre: to verify. Эlcobbola talk 16:05, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
