User Created many accout and use it for self promotion. Also he did some request for rollbacker, admin right. We think he is someone old user so please check also IP and find more account related this IP. Thanks..--E THP (talk) 05:47, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

Please don't copy the reasoning from the above request. We need to know the reasons of why a check is needed on azbwiki. —Marco Aurelio 10:15, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

Discussion: Local sockpuppetry policy

Reason(s): Similar roller skating-related spam in the local abuse log of the first account and in the user page and talk page of the second account. Note that in the case of the second account, the spam was created by 2402:4000:bbfd:47db:bdcb:e5c0:b8df:ac23 xwiki-contribs • xwiki-date ^(alt) • ST • IP info • WHOIS • robtex • gblock • glist • abuselog • bullseye, but the username patterns also match. The third and fourth account have it in their abuse filter logs.--Jasper Deng (talk) 08:49, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Thanks. I've found a few accounts, you can find them here. They are now locked and their IP addresses globally blocked. Matiia (talk) 23:09, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Discussion: ta.wiki has local policy like en.wiki. I have made notification about Sock puppetry at user's take page of PARITHIMATHI

Reason(s): I instructed the user PARITHIMATHI about Sock puppetry on 9th May. He said that he forgot his first user ID பரிதிமதி. He was not aware of Sock puppetry and created 6 IDs. Therefore, I advised to declare such connections on each user pages by using {{User alternative account}} template. So far (2 months), he failed to declare connections. Antan O 08:16, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

Has the user been abusing the multiple accounts? Just having them does not violate any policy. Ruslik (talk) 17:53, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

User clearly said he has 6 accounts and failed to declare which are they. Ta.Wiki policy about Sock puppetry clearly say that user should not have multiple accounts. If they have reasonable circumstance, they should declare such connections. Read: கைப்பாவை which is similar version of Sock puppetry. Also, I have seen some editing pattern that indicate user could engage in disrupt discussions. --Antan O 01:40, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Not done Ruslik (talk) 18:43, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Reason?--Antan O 01:47, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

A user engaged in disrupt discussions that has similar editing pattern of these user IDs, and user failed to declare connections. I already made many CheckUser as per ta.wiki policy and general policy, and I am aware of Check User. If you reject my request, you should tell the reason. @Vituzzu and Trijnstel: --Antan O 11:54, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

You have not present sufficient evidence that the user used multiple accounts in abusive way. Ruslik (talk) 17:39, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

I have already told you that a user engaged in disrupt discussions that has similar editing pattern of this user, and user himself told he has six user IDs and failed to reveal those. According to ta.wiki policy, users should/must declare all user IDs. (Read or translate ta.wiki policy of Sock puppetry) Isn't sufficient evidence? --Antan O 03:31, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

@AntanO: "Similar editing pattern" - how? Please supply diffs. Stewards will not action requests worded as vaguely as this.--Jasper Deng (talk) 07:06, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

@AntanO: As Jasper said, you need to provide specific links, also i dont see anywhere that PARITHIMATHI declared that he had created six accounts, all i can see is that he asked 'isn't six accounts allowed' ஆறு கணக்குகள் உண்டல்லவா?--PARITHIMATHI (பேச்சு) 04:48, 9 மே 2017 (UTC). Could you please provide some more links to the discussions--Shanmugamp7 ^(talk) 07:13, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

I have requested for two reasons. First is using multiple account and failed to reveal them which is against ta.wiki policy, and second is about similar editing pattern. At the moment, I am going to stick on first issue. I already gave link for ta.wiki policy. PARITHIMATHI told me "அன்டன்! ஆசிரியர் பயிற்சிக்காக ஆறு கணக்குகளை உருவாக்கினேன்." which could be translated as Anton! I created six accounts for teacher training. --Antan O 11:12, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

Discussion: el:ΒΠ:Μαριονέτα

Reason(s): Judging from contributions (at el.wikipedia and el.wikivoyage), he is the same user with the blocked user ΓΙΑΝΗΣ, with many sock puppets. He contributed three times with different accounts at the same discussion [1]. Please inform me if there are other puppets too. C messier (talk) 11:09, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

User On ton has only one edit, but this was creating a sandbox with copy paste from the article about Thessaloniki Metro (one of the favorite subjects of ΓΙΑΝΗΣ, who regularly creates with his puppets sandboxes). --C messier (talk) 19:42, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

User Κούλης was confirmed as a sock puppet as he edited his sandbox (about some future elections) both connected and not, revealing his IP, user Δαγκαράς has shown aggressive behaviour, deliberately misspelling and creating many sandboxes with mostly nonsence. --C messier (talk) 07:51, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

Μαχητής, Χριστάκος, ΥΕΝΕΔ, ΕΡΤ 3 and Google Map Maker are

Likely the same user. Other accounts as well as Εσάτ Τζεμήλογλού, Κ16 and Ντιναμό are

Possible. Ruslik (talk) 20:08, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

Arsog1985@hy.wikipedia

Status: Done

List of users: Arsog1985 (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)

Reason(s): The contributor has claimed the 24 June to have accidentally enabled 2FA, and so can't login anymore. I'd like a checkuser to compare the (undisclosed here for privacy issue) IP with very recent past contributions for this account (as there are successful login June 22 and 23). The goal is to ensure the request is legit per wikitech:Password reset/Confirming identities. This request is asked in my system administrator role to assert if I can or not proceed to the 2FA reset. --Dereckson (talk) 14:30, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Done, Positive, without any doubt. Linedwell ^[talk] 14:37, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Reason(s): The Wikipedia Zero pirates are using sleeper accounts again. Listed are known WP0 sleeper accounts (>18 days) in order of registration after June 1. List of WP0 pirates at commons:Category:Users suspected of abusing Wikipedia Zero Dispenser (talk) 11:00, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

Note: @Dispenser: Wikimedia Commons has their own CheckUsers which can be requested at c:COM:RFCU. Is there any reason why they cannot handle this themselves? (ping @Krd, Elcobbola, and Trijnstel) Regards, —MarcoAurelio (talk) 12:51, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

Request withdrawn Sorry about that, new to the process of check user. Dispenser (talk) 13:56, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

No need to be sorry. This WP Zero abuse is new to us and maybe crosswiki input was required. Hopefuly they can deal with this locally. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 20:44, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
