This is the place to request sockpuppet checks and other investigations requiring access to the Checkuser privilege. Possible alternatives are listed below.

Requests likely to be accepted

Code	Situation	Solution, requirements
A	Blatant attack or vandalism accounts, need IP block	Submit new section at #Requests for IP check, below
B	Evading blocks, bans and remedies issued by arbitration committee	Submit case subpage, including link to closed arb case
C	Ongoing, serious pattern vandalism with many incidents	Submit case subpage, including diffs
D	Vote fraud, closed vote, fraud affects outcome	Submit case subpage, including link to closed vote
E	3RR violation using sockpuppets	Submit case subpage, including diffs of violation
F	Evading blocks, bans and remedies issued by community	Submit case subpage, including link to evidence of remedy
G	Does not fit above, but you believe check needed	Submit case subpage, briefly summarize and justify

Requests likely to be rejected

Situation	Solution
Obvious, disruptive sock puppet	Block, no checkuser needed
Disruptive "throwaway" account used only for a few edits	Block, no checkuser needed
Checkuser on yourself to "prove your innocence"	Such requests are rarely accepted, please do not ask
Related to ongoing arbitration case	Request checkuser on the arbitration case pages
Vote fraud, ongoing vote	Wait until vote closes before listing, or post at Misplaced Pages:Suspected sock puppets
Vote fraud, closed vote, did not affect outcome	List at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents or Misplaced Pages:Suspected sock puppets
Other disruption of articles	List at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents or Misplaced Pages:Suspected sock puppets
Open proxy, IP address already known	List at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Open proxies
You want access to the checkuser tool yourself	Contact the Arbitration Committee, but such access is granted rarely

When submitting a request

If submitting a new case subpage, use the inputbox below; if adding to an existing case subpage, see WP:RFCU/P#Repeat requests.
Choose the code letter that best fits your request. Provide evidence such as diff links as required or requested. Note that some code letters inherently require specific evidence.
When listing suspected accounts or IP addresses, use the {{checkuser}} or {{checkip}} templates. Please do not use this template in a section header.
You may add your request to the top of the #Outstanding requests section, by adding {{Misplaced Pages:Requests for checkuser/Case/CASENAMEHERE}}. If you do not, clerks should check for pages in Category:Checkuser requests to be listed and will do this for you.
Sign your request.

After submitting a request

Purge cache

Checkuser clerks assist with maintenance of the page but do not directly respond to checkuser requests. If you need help, post at Misplaced Pages talk:Requests for checkuser.
Responses will be brief in order to comply with Misplaced Pages's privacy policy. Likewise, the privacy policy often prevents us from running a check which has the effect of revealing IP addresses.
Due to technical factors, results are not always clear.
Check back regularly to see the outcome of your request.
Checkusers and clerks do not generally issue blocks. You may need to do this yourself or submit a request at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Case subpages are typically archived several days after a checkuser responds.
More procedures at Misplaced Pages:Requests for checkuser/Procedures.

Privacy violation?

If you feel that a checkuser has led to a violation of the Wikimedia Foundation privacy policy regarding yourself, please refer the case to the Ombudsman commission.

File a Checkuser Request

This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference.
Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump.

Cases are created on subpages of Misplaced Pages:Requests for checkuser/Case.
If you require help or advice, ask at Misplaced Pages talk:Requests for checkuser.

If a case subpage already exists, edit the existing page instead, either adding to the currently open section (if the case is not yet archived) or adding a new section to the top (if the case has been archived). When editing an existing case, be sure to list it here or add Category:Checkuser requests to be listed to the subpage.

If creating a new case subpage, add the name of the main account (or "puppetmaster", not the sockpuppet!) in the box below. Leave out the "User:" prefix. Do not remove the text in the box, add the name to the end only (that is, append the name to the existing text). Then press "Request a checkuser" and you will be taken to a page where you can fill out the request.

Example: if you want to request a checkuser on User:John Doe, enter the text:
Misplaced Pages:Requests for checkuser/Case/John Doe

Requests for IP check

Vandal and attack accounts may be listed here for the purpose identifying and blocking the underlying IP address or open proxy. Requests to confirm sockpuppets of known users should be listed in the sockpuppet section above.
If you already know the IP address of the suspected open proxy, list it at Misplaced Pages:Open Proxies instead.
Use === Subsections ===, do not create subpages.
List user names using the {{checkuser|username}} template. Add new reports to the top of the section.
Requests may be acted on or declined according to the discretion of the checkuser admins. Responses will be noted here.
Answered requests will be moved to Misplaced Pages:Requests for checkuser/IP check for 7 days, after which they will be deleted. No separate archive (other than the page history) will be maintained.

Ed Kavalee (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Code letter: A, C

Can we see if the accounts were created from the same IP range, and if so can we find out all the accounts that have done 5 edits or less and that have existed for more than 2-3 months?

All of these accounts have been vandalising Ed Kavalee, and all appear to have been created some time ago just to get around semi-protection. This means that there are probably more of them, in which case I think we should proactively work out which ones were created and then decide whether to indefinitely block them or at least come to some sort of solution to prevent further vandalism. - Ta bu shi da yu 02:37, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Additional information needed Don't assume that all checkusers are familiar with your history. Who is this editor supposed to be related to? --jpgordon 18:11, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
