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). 
    === Username@xx.project ===
{{CU request
 |status          = <!--don't change this line-->

Reason(s): Similar editing interest and behavior in Mongolian, Xinjiang, and Tibet articles (for example, Dayanalarso396 and Ruaemcu have overlaps in editing or creating articles related to Xinjiang and Tibet cuisine). There are some users that are all registered within a small timeframe (<1 day, Group 1: Dayanalarso396, Ruaemcu, Constancace. Group 2: Adaded, DEbopexe, Toby Amelia) as well, raising suspicions. A check is therefore requested and thanks in advance. （☎）dt 15:15, 16 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Kjklj also in Group 1 (registered in Jan. 21 2026 UTC+8). Kurgenera (V·T) 03:08, 18 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@AmandaNP：For example:DEbopexe:zh:Special:Diff/92206035 Adaded:zh:Special:Diff/92205390，Both these two users add the phrase　"地点" before "位于". And
Constancace: zh:Special:Diff/92143532 Dayanalarso396: zh:Special:Diff/92022595, both two users removed red links from the articles. And Constancace: zh:Special:Diff/92143532 Ruaemcu: zh:Special:Diff/92231354, both two users edit the article zh:新疆维吾尔自治区. And account creation log for Group1: Dayanalarso396:zh:Special:Redirect/logid/16003730, Ruaemcu:zh:Special:Redirect/logid/16003632, Constancace: zh:Special:Redirect/logid/16003869 (2026-01-21).

Veritasphere@ur.wikipedia

Status:    In progress

Veritasphere (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)
عرشی (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)

Reason(s): There is a clear and sustained pattern of coordinated editing, false consensus creation, and identical behavioral traits between these two accounts. Although the sock account remains inactive for long periods, whenever it becomes active, all of its edits are coordinated with the master account.

For Creation of False Consensus of Featured Article Nomination, the master account suggested a Featured Article; the sock account provided support within approximately one hour. You can see this history page. For title change opinion consensus, the master account proposed the title change, and the sock account agreed on the same date. You can see this on the talk page, another talk page both agreed on same date. The sock account proposed the title change, and the master account agreed immediately afterward. see this category talk page. Both accounts used the same tool, called Wiki Helper, to create pages. Veritasphere created the animal and bird articles using the same tool, with similar creation times whle عرشی created the taxonomy pages and templates for those animals and birds. This can be further verified here and on this Interaction Tool. It is very unusual for two unrelated users to exhibit the same kind of interaction patterns on Wikidata. Both accounts exhibit identical sourcing and linguistic patterns, including a very specific method of referencing dictionaries, which further supports evidence of sockpuppet behavior. Here, the sock account suggested a title using a reference that the master account frequently used, and the master account accepted it immediately. Here, the master account is arguing about the reference dictionary in the same dictionary and same manner as the sock account. Here, both accounts supported each other regarding terminology on the same date. Here, the master account called for help, and the sock account replied within two hours. Here, both accounts made coordinated edits on the same day. Here, both accounts were active within 30 minutes of each other. Between 3 and 6 May, the sock account created pages related to Indian food, while the master account simultaneously created pages on Indian topics. The Interaction Timeline and Interaction Analyser confirm these accounts work in a tag-team manner to bypass consensus. I request a CheckUser to evaluate their technical fingerprints.
