<translate> This page is for requesting CheckUser information on a wiki with no local CheckUsers (see also [[<tvar name="SRP">Steward requests/Permissions</tvar>|requesting checkuser access]]). Make sure to follow the following instructions, or your request may not be processed in a timely manner.</translate>

<translate> Before making a request:</translate>

<translate> 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.</translate>
<translate> 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 [[<tvar name="diff">mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Diff</tvar>|diff links]] or other evidence.</translate>
<translate> Make sure there are no local checkusers.</translate>

Reason(s): This list has not complete. Please check this accounts. Even if Seskfabrega & other accounts not dangerous, Seskfabrega has a two warning/block: this and this, in which case Seskfabrega must blocked infinity. --Դեմ խմբակային իշխանությանը (talk) 17:12, 25 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Inconclusive Only Seskfabrega has edited in the past three months, there is nothing for us to check further. No overlapping editing, so I don't see that there is an issue here.

CU log
Discussion: [1]

Reason(s): one and the same participant writes articles with different accounts for the creation of artificial activity. Moreover, it is believed that the language of his articles had nothing to do with the Siberian Tatar language. even the Siberian Tatars write about it: https://vk.com/topic-9968898_30683262 — The preceding unsigned comment was added by 91.234.22.46 (talk)

Not done Have you discussed this matter with the admins/crats at the wiki? They would generally be able to handle this without the intervention of stewards, at least at a first level of response. It does not seem evident what a checkuser would achieve, or demonstrated what is being done is contrary to policies for the wikis. — billinghurst sDrewth 23:44, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Mpb eu@bg.wikipedia

Status: Done

List of users: Mpb eu (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser); McDile (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser); White captain (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser); AKSKubrat (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)

Reason(s): The user "Mpb eu" has been banned from the Bulgarian Wikipedia for one year (see block log) after community voting because of faking sources in articles. The same user had already used a sockpuppet "White captain" in Commons before so the community worries that the same user may be using other sockpuppets in bgwiki, such as users "McDile" and "AKSKubrat", whose actions are very similar to "Mpb eu"'s. Please check if "Mpb eu" has any relation to "McDile", "AKS Kubrat", or has any other sockpuppets in bgwikipedia. The Wiki Boy (talk) 12:32, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Results

For starters: White captain is Stale, can't be checked.
Technical evidence suggest that Mpb_eu is Confirmed to AKSKubrat.
And as for McDile, I'd say Unrelated.

À la 雞@zh-yue.wikipedia

Status: In progress

List of users: À la 雞 (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser); Phung Wilson (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser); Caisse Phung (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser); Fort123 (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser); À la caisse (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser); Ancêtre (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser); Secondaire (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser); Mélanie Lévesque (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser); 威爾宋 (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser); Phung (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)

Reason(s): (Translate from discussion pages) Cedric tsan cantonais had told the sock puppet for Fête in Cantonese Wikipedia. and he wants to suspend À la 雞. Now there are the reasons of below:

馮輝、À la 雞 and USER:Fête 's User pages are all so likely in Cantonese Wikipedia. It thinks these users have copied a code, then change the code name and paste to his every user pages.
威爾宋 had leaved a message for "I'm Wilson" (我係Wilson) in his user page (Permission: 威爾宋). It's so likely for Phung Wilson.
馮輝 and Fête、Secondaire、Ancêtre、Jack514、Phung Wilson have suspended for every wikis. (Permission:Steward_requests/Checkuser/2013-01#Fête@frwiktionary and Steward_requests/Checkuser/2013-01#Fête@fr.wiktionary (2)）.
Mélanie Lévesque have left a message for "I am Fête" in Cedric tsan cantonais' user page (PERMISSION: zh-yue:Special:Contributions/Mélanie Lévesque).
Caisse Phung and À la caisse、Fort123's user page pages are all the same in Cantonese Wikipedia. Foreover, À la caisse's user page had leaved the characters like "caisse this word pronounced for '雞' in Quebec French" (魁北克法文係讀"雞") in Cantonese Wikipedia. It just throw doubt on the sock puppet for À la 雞. and Fort123's user page have leaved the message like "fête pronounced for '輝', caisse pronounced for 雞" (fête 讀似『輝』，caisse 讀似『雞』) in Cantonese Wikipedia, too. It just throw doubt on the sock puppet for the same people in these users: À la caisse, À la 雞 and 馮輝、Fête.
雞雞 and À la 雞 is the same people in in Cantonese Wikipedia.
Jack514 had suspended due to the sock puppet about Fête in French Wikipedia. (Special:CentralAuth/Jack514)
Phung had suspended due to the sock puppet about Fête in French Wiktionary. (Special:CentralAuth/Phung)

For all of the reasons of above, It thinks À la 雞 just the sock puppet for Fête.-- CRCHF (talk) 07:34, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

CU log
Discussion: m:Special:Diff/11358928#Checkusers and oversighters on nowiki

Reason(s): Extensive sockpuppetry, main account indefinitely blocked on both nowp and enwp (no:Bruker:Sju hav/w:User:Sju hav) in 2008. Has been very active lately, and all accounts listed above exept for the first three have been blocked based on behaviour and topics of interest (Idoll-olga was blocked after a CU). The accounts have similar modus operandi as the previous socks, e.g. active on talk pages, editing on controversial subjects (such as no:Hallikvirksomhet and no:pasjonsdrap), but also on trivial subjects like no:kaffetrakter (which has extensive IP edits before Aldri tilbake shows up). See also w:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Sju_hav. – 4ing (talk) 09:44, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The CU tools have enabled me to see these 3 discrete series of sockpuppets. Elfix 16:53, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Aldri tilbake = Åtselpelle
- Natthimmelgaiden (blocked) = Kri sandi = ESCapistobar = Davy davis jr = Karosserista = Karlclas Gøran = Puckbing
- Flatlys (blocked) = Rutetastknapp = Herbjørn Skretting = Pillarguris horn = Gjeit = Flakskrekk = Yggdrasilen = Kronny (blocked in 2008)
Elfix 16:53, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I've blocked Karosserista, Puckbing and Pillarguris horn based on edit patterns. Herbjørn Skretting nad Kronny are definitely not socks. Of the rest, some are likely socks and some are indeterminable (based on edit patterns). I'll continue holding my eyes on them. Alltid tilbake and Åtselpelle seem to have unregistered edits from IP-addresses belonging to Kabel Deutschland Vertrieb und Service GmbH. - 4ing (talk) 20:29, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

CU log
Discussion: d:Wikidata:CheckUser

Reason(s): Same editing behaviour. See also Steward requests/Checkuser/2014-12#Multiple accounts@wikidata. FreightXPress joined Wikidata on 25 April 2015. He doesn't seem to be a new user, as he immediately focused on complex edits and classification questions. His comments on d:Wikidata:Project chat are not that polite (similar behaviour as Tamawashi) and while edits are constructive at beginning, he often ends up in disagreement with other users. -- Bene* (talk) 21:28, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Note that I have included IP-80.134.90.212, as that is the most recent sock of this user and may be the only one that is not stale.--Jasper Deng (talk) 22:25, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that this is a cross-wiki case, and there may be stuff stored on CUwiki if I remember right: w:en:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Tobias Conradi. --Rs chen 7754 00:58, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Per my CU in loginwiki and wikidata and based on previously stored information in CUwiki, FreightXPress is

Confirmed sock. He used mentioned ip as-well. no other sleeper account were found Mardetanha ^talk 18:12, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Mardetanha: Fyi the "mentioned IP" is actually not an ip but a very confusing username he picked up. -- Bene* (talk) 18:22, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bene Thanks, indeed strange username, Per my Check again he is

Confirmed sock too, no other sleeper found again, as far as I checked he regularly uses constant ip range starting with 91, if nothing can't stop him you might block his range too Mardetanha ^talk 18:28, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am not a sock of anyone. "he often ends up in disagreement with other users" - since when is that relevant for CheckUser? Apart from that, Tamawashi looks like an abandoned account, what does that account has to do with me? Even if my account would be a secondary account of Tamawashi it would not fall under d:Wikidata:Alternate accounts#Illegitimate uses. As far as editing behavior is concerned, the edits where not anything near complex, nor is "immediately focused on ... classification questions" really surprising in a project that is centered around classification of things. Revealing information about IPs is breach of privacy.

Now, why am I blocked in Wikidata? I also would like to disclose that I had a disagreement with User:Bene*, the one that opened the case here. I understand that this is fine, but it has some extra smell.

Best regards. FreightXPress (talk) 15:53, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
