<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>

Requests

kjellgunnarlarsen@no.wikipedia.org

The following discussion is closed.

Is the user Kjellgunnarlarsen the same as the user writing a previous contribution in the discusssion about no:Talk:SOS Rasisme? [1] A check user on this issue is not discussed internally at no.wp, but it is far beyond acceptable limits at the project. The user is given an indefinite ban but it should be lifted if the user is not the same. Jeblad 12:56, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I'm not clear what disruption there is here... Are you asking whether the named user is the same as the IP which made the edit you linked to? — Mike.lifeguard | ^@en.wb 19:07, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Someone has signed anonymous edits over several years with the same name, often described various aspects of other editors and their work, sometimes in less flattering words, in this edit it was especially less flattering. After being removed by two fellow admins someone uses the same name and reenters most of the previous obscene edit. If necessary I guess it would be possible to get a transcript, but I prefer that someone else do that part. Probably there are several editors involved from the same IPs, as this person work for an organization which has been involved in discussions about a disputed article at no.wp. Jeblad 02:00, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary - there is no need to perform a check to see that the named account is disruptive. — Mike.lifeguard | ^@en.wb 13:35, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Checkuser requests of Chinese Wikipedia

The following useres were all registered in late March or April, and have added some inappropriate advertisement of a book 博弈圣经 (Bible of Game Theory) as well as a spam link in a variety of articles. Please do a checkuser since our community normally will not indefinitely block VOAs.

Thank you in advance. —Bencmq 11:55, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Additional information needed What is "VOA"? What domains were spammed, and were they on related topics (specifically, were they related to the book you mentioned)? — Mike.lifeguard | ^@en.wb 13:18, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, VOA=vandalism-only accounts. All affected article varies from Game theory to entropy, Science etc. most of them, except Game theory, are not related to the book. The link was www.caoab.com —Bencmq 13:33, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK, but you said that these accounts all spammed the book? If not, I don't see how you have any reason to suspect they're related. — Mike.lifeguard | ^@en.wb 13:43, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary please be advised

CheckUser is not for fishing . I don't see any abuse here --Mardetanha ^talk 13:50, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am from zh.wikipedia. I reviewed and reverted all edits of these accounts earlier today. All these accounts listed above spammed exactly the same book along with a link.--Wcam 14:10, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Blacklist the website and block spammers --Mardetanha ^talk 14:13, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mardetanha, IMHO this request should not be denied, it perfectly falls into the cu policy, multiple accounts have been abused to place unwanted links/content, there might be more socks and sleepers and IMHO this check should be done, please rethink Your decision, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið _(:> )=| 14:16, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok , if you think this could help the project , let's do it --Mardetanha ^talk 14:18, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, after Wcam's clarification, I think this is an appropriate request. I'll be doing it shortly. Note the domain has been blacklisted on zhwiki, and is being monitored elsewhere. — Mike.lifeguard | ^@en.wb 17:29, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kegns has blocked the confirmed sock puppet accounts per CU result. We will keep an eye on the last 3 accounts since they have not made any edits. Thank you again for your help. Bencmq 07:13, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
