Commons:Requests for checkuser

If this page is displaying outdated contents even after you refresh the page in your browser, please purge this page's cache.

To request a check: Cases are created on subpages of Commons:Requests for checkuser/Case. Creating a request Insert the name of the suspected sockpuppeteer (the main account or puppetmaster, not the sockpuppet!) in the box below, leaving out the "User:" prefix. Do not remove the text in the box, add to the end only. Please explain/justify the request by saying what it is you suspect and why it is important that the check be carried out. Indicate the usernames you suspect, using {{checkuser}}. Please do not use this template in the section header, as that makes it difficult to read the account names. Include the diffs or links required to support the request and reason for it. There are people to assist you and help with maintenance of the page. Just ask for help on the admin noticeboard if you really are stuck, or take your best shot and note that you weren't completely sure of what to say. 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or adding a new section to the top using {{subst:Commons:Requests for checkuser/Inputbox/Sample}} (if the case has been archived). When editing an existing case, be sure to list/transclude the subpage here. Example If you want to request a checkuser on User:John Doe, enter the text Commons:Requests for checkuser/Case/John Doe then click "Request a checkuser". You will be taken to a page where you can fill out the request. Please make your request there brief and concise. Then transclude your subpage on the top of the list at Commons:Requests for checkuser and remove {{Checkuser requests to be listed}} from the top of the case subpage.

• Iraq-telafer (talk • contribs • Luxo • SUL • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log • checkuser)

Reason: Uploading the same deleted images after block. — D Y O L F 77^[Talk] 09:53, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 It looks like a duck to me. Connection is obvious and there is no reason to suspect more than one sock, so no reason to use the tool. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 14:46, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sock is blocked and tagged. I leave it to you whether you want to extend the block on the master. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 14:47, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@The Squirrel Conspiracy Thanks! — D Y O L F 77^[Talk] 17:01, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• RefMark (talk • contribs • Luxo • SUL • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log • checkuser)

Reason: similar interest in uploading internet photos of "SUNEL Arena" as previous socks (DONR21 and Nikoskoukkos21), and similar editing interest on enwiki. --0x0a (talk) 11:18, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• What is known as the Ermenonville (talk • contribs • Luxo • SUL • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log • checkuser)

Reason: Sure looks like them, air planes that crashed, (c) photos, and a VRT ticket. --Hedwig in Washington ^(mail?) 10:40, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the 3 earlier cu-requests, they didn't show up for some strange reason. ----Hedwig in Washington ^(mail?) 10:42, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Sure thing I can make (talk • contribs • Luxo • SUL • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log • checkuser)

Reason: passed the duck test. Uploaded copyright violation images from websites (1), and used wrong template license with copyvio images (2), removed copyvio tagged (3), used invalid VRT ticket permission (4). Gyrostat (talk) 17:30, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Flag flag flag fan (talk • contribs • Luxo • SUL • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log • checkuser)

Reason: Suspected lock evasion: Same behavior as the sockmaster. Treating Commons as a personal playground creating flag galleries (many of which are either fictional or have no benefit to our projects) and uploading flag images. --Achim55 (talk) 19:18, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Confirmed All three are blocked and tagged. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 20:24, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Squirrel, thank you. Their next sock seems to be

• AlongyuSen (talk • contribs • Luxo • SUL • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log • checkuser)

uploading fake flags. --Achim55 (talk) 09:00, 22 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Likely. Blocked, tagged, and wiped. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 16:03, 22 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Squirrel, the next suspect is

no edits but hits on abuse filter --Achim55 (talk) 20:43, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please forgive me. I am trying to upload my file but I keep receiving the abuse message. BrandNewHotTub1234 (talk) 23:02, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am not a vandal. There is just something wrong with my file's code. BrandNewHotTub1234 (talk) 23:04, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@BrandNewHotTub1234: What makes you think https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/us-inham.html is licensed freely enough that you may claim {{self|cc-zero}}? That page bears "© FOTW Flags Of The World". See also COM:NETC.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 00:47, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Achim55: ! Okay, this is a bit of a weird one.

Unrelated to Crimea Republic, but Confirmed as a sock of HoosierMan1816

Accounts blocked and tagged appropriately. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 02:56, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@The Squirrel Conspiracy: One of those filters is labeled "Jurisdrew", could the listed users be Jurisdrew (talk • contribs • Luxo • SUL • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log • checkuser)?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 17:25, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
