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. (This is not a venue for requesting administrative action such as blocks or file clean-up.)
- 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.
- Requests to check accounts already confirmed on other projects may be declined as redundant.
- Requests to run a check on yourself will be declined.
- 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.
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.

Rationale, discussion and results
[edit]Reason: The IP 120.29.76.52 recently made edits to the user talk pages of both SVG flag maker and Home37. Since Home37 is a confirmed sock of Nv7801, I ran a check of SVG flag maker to see if they were also a Nv7801 sock. What I actually found was surprising:
Confirmed

- Center Left Right (talk • contribs • Luxo • SUL • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log )

- Home37 (talk • contribs • Luxo • SUL • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log )
Per Yann, John emil hernandez is a sock of PedroDuqueSantiago. As such, the rest of these are also socks of PedroDuqueSantiago. @Yann: Does the behavioral evidence line up for this? I'm completely unfamiliar with PedroDuqueSantiago and their socks. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 21:05, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, but not enough data for Kyllkyllkyll. Yann (talk) 09:06, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
- OK, thanks. I've tagged SVG flag maker as a sock of PedroDuqueSantiago and upgraded their block to indef. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 22:47, 29 May 2025 (UTC)

[edit]- Imbackjjj (talk • contribs • Luxo • SUL • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log )
Rationale, discussion and results
[edit]Reason: Cyberwolf (talk) 00:25, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for opening the checkuser case. I will copy my reasoning from AN/B to here.
- I suspect User:Imbackjjj is a sock of indef-blocked User:Aggans, since they vandalized User:Aggans’s talk page [1] and replied in the same DR: [2] [3].
- It is also possible that both users are sockpuppets of User:Crimea Republic due to them all edits pages related to flags. See Old page of country subdivision flags, which User:Imbackjjj created a gallery page of flags, like User:Crimea Republic did in Commons:Requests for checkuser/Case/Crimea Republic. Could be just a coincidence though.
- Tvpuppy (talk) 01:44, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

Confirmed accounts Krd Puppet and Stack the Countries which I tagged and blocked if necessary. --Lymantria (talk) 06:01, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
- I think it's obvious that ФЫЦ and Saarabout are someone's socks. I could be convinced that ErrrrrWhat is Crimea Republic - some of the tells look right - but it'd be nice to get more eyes on it. Maybe user:Achim55 and user:krd, since the first case was before my time as a CU? The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 08:13, 22 May 2025 (UTC)

Rationale, discussion and results
[edit]Reason: There's a possibility that these accounts are the same person, as there's a persistence on uploading photos of a politician from Bolivia who will participate in upcoming elections. The issue is the uploads are being made through newly created Flickr accounts, and could be laundering the license (see here and here). There are two Flickr accounts involved, one of which was recently created and selfproclaimed the "official account" of the politician's party but the username is the same uploader in Commons. One account insists that he "took the photo and removed the copyright", but the accounts have received numerous deletion warnings because copyright infringements. Since all three accounts are set up to contain the politician's photos, I'm requesting a CU verification. Taichi (talk) 18:23, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
Confirmed --Krd 05:11, 18 May 2025 (UTC)
- Please help to tag their uploads accordingly. Krd 05:14, 18 May 2025 (UTC)
