<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>

  1. <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>
  2. <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>
  3. <translate> Make sure there are no local checkusers.</translate>
  4. <translate> Please ensure that the check hasn't already been done:</translate>

  Confirmed 8ZIV 77, ZIV o ZIV, Best the 44, JUDIO RUSO, IYAR 70 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Billinghurst (talk) 14:36, 11 March 2014‎
@Billinghurst: Thank you. It would also be good to block the underlying IP ranges. Kind regards, LlamaAl (talk) 04:09, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

LTA@es.wikiquote

Checked, though impossible to apply rangeblock. The ranges used are very diverse and seem to be on one-account-only basis. There are no other accounts on these IP's. Savhñ 17:20, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Αχιλλεύς 7@el.wikipedia

Having the same arguments as another is not a criteria for a checkuser request. How is the activity disruptive? Is there block evasion? Is there an attempt to pervert a vote of the community? There has to be a valid reason for a checkuser that normal administration cannot manage, it is not   CheckUser is not for fishing. I don't see that you are a checkuser and able to act upon any information.  — billinghurst sDrewth 12:49, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. Nevermind. The reason was that they both create an account this month and they only contribute in voting against the merge of two articles, using similar expressions. Thanks for your time.... Xaris333 (talk) 16:02, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Taranet, Could you please tell us for what reason you are asking for the CU, as i can see all the above accounts are blocked indef. Is there any continued disruption?, what will be your further action with the CU data?--Shanmugamp7 (talk) 14:51, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Dear shanmugamp7, as a sysop on fa.wiki I need to know if there is a relationship between the user and vandalist IPs. The IPs have made lots of vandalism and personal attacks.
More IPs with the same edits and comments personal attacks on the same day:
--Taranet (talk) 15:45, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Just so you know, CheckUser can not be used to make a connection between a user and an IP which seems to be your primary goal here. John F. Lewis (talk) 15:55, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
As John said CU is not for checking the connection between ip's and users. If the ip's are doing disruption you can very well manage it with your administrative tools. If they are continuing disruption using accounts please link them here. "just to know the relationship" is not a valid reason for CU and read this too--Shanmugamp7 (talk) 16:33, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
1) my request was not for 'fishing' or 'just to know the relationship', but for 'personal attacks', 'Circumventing sanctions', and 'vandalism'. but 2) It's right that the CU request is about IPs so there's possibilty of information release. (Although the checkuser policy doesnt forbid information releasing completely but says 'Generally, do not reveal IPs. Only give information such as same network/not same network or similar. If detailed information is provided, make sure the person you are giving it to is a trusted person and will not reveal it himself/herself.')--Taranet (talk) 16:54, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind, we will continue using wp:duck.--Taranet (talk) 17:13, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) I agree that you are asking CU because of 'personal attacks', 'Circumventing sanctions', and 'vandalism' but what will be your action after getting the data. It should be effective, it shouldn't be for the sake of knowing the relation. Simply saying "What are you going to do with the CU data as all the accounts are locally blocked and the ip's can also be handled locally". --Shanmugamp7 (talk) 17:16, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Marking it as not done, since the user has withdrawn. Please feel free to request again if they are continuing the disruption and there is an effective need for the CU data.--Shanmugamp7 (talk) 17:37, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) User:کولاک and user:محک are not blocked. Also, user:مکری11‎ won't stop sending me and some other admins emails about not having that much suckpuppets (which wp:duck shows that they are 99% suckpuppets) and not being guilty. The situation got worse after these personal attacks.--Taranet (talk) 17:39, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I can confirm Taranet request here, it is a legitimate request Mardetanha talk 18:01, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  Done. پپوله , قنبرقلی , نقده ای, Memorylike, مکری11‎ are   Possible sock puppets. محک, Adil1986 and کولاک are   Unrelated. Those ip address's are not related to any of the accounts. Thanks--Shanmugamp7 (talk) 18:37, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you.--Taranet (talk) 07:57, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
