Requests

Sofia@az.wikipedia

Someone look at this request, please. Users may be disturbed to see this request. Turkmen ^talk 13:57, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

I talked to all three users and I am sure that there is no such thing. I withdraw the request.--Turkmen ^talk 16:20, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

기난0725@ko.wiktionary

Template:Doing EPIC (talk) 20:18, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Template:Done Template:Ping the following accounts are Template:Confirmed:

None of these are locked but I note that these accounts came from an IP which was globally blocked earlier today.

However, 기난0725 is Template:Unlikely to all of the above accounts, so the suspicions around that one can probably be released.

That said, I don't think a global lock is necessary for now. I wrote with Sotiale a few days ago when Won1017 came up at SRG, and they have been given a final warning. No new socks have been coming up since then as far as I can see, at least not from the same IP on kowiktionary, so I think a global lock can wait for now. EPIC (talk) 20:34, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Ok, I see. Thanks for your quick handling. LR0725 ( Talk / Contribs ) 20:38, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Colosseum~nowiki@no.wikipedia

Hi (or hej), this is not actionable for now because in accordance with the ANPDP we cannot publicly link an account to an IP address. We can perform a check if you have any accounts suspected to be related, but we cannot use the IP addresses as a starting point - you need to provide one or more accounts to compare with, otherwise it would be "fishing". EPIC (talk) 19:47, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Colosseum hasn't made any edits from other accounts as far as I can tell, only from IPs as far as I can tell. If you're unable to link accounts to IP adresses, then I'll leave it as is. Telaneo (User talk page) 19:53, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Template:Not done, Template:Ping idwiki has local checkusers, submit a request for CheckUser here instead. EPIC (talk) 05:54, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

@EPIC I'm sorry I disagree with your rejection because most Indonesian Wikipedia examiners are rarely active which results in many investigative cases not being investigated. Please reconsider your decision Badak Jawa (talk) 06:02, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

@EPIC Why did you reject our request from Wikipedia Indonesia? Even though there used to be a steward who accepted requests from the Chinese Wikipedia Badak Jawa (talk) 06:12, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

I'm quoting the stewards page: Template:Quote

The same applies here. As idwiki has local checkusers (in other words, local users who can perform checks), we cannot perform checks there, except in emergencies or if they are the local checkusers are inactive to the point where they have not responded despite notices on their talk page.

Therefore, please submit a local CheckUser request to begin with, as they have their own checkuser team. EPIC (talk) 06:15, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

Template:Ping Please don't spam here. Stewards cannot grant themselves CU flag on projects in which there are already local CU (except in cases of emergencies). On zhwiki there is no CU so we can intervene! Furthermore, it is not possible to associate users with public IPs per CU and ANPDP policy, so please - as already said - try to reach local CU who are also admins and can better handle this. This request is declined and it's not a place for discussions! --Superpes15 (talk) 06:19, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

Mr.Destiny Honkai@zh.wikipedia

Template:CU request Template:Quote The data is Template:Possible, but I have a very strong gut feeling. They are likely to be the same user if their editing patterns are the same. --Sotiale (talk) 12:31, 6 May 2024 (UTC) Template:Quote What a toxic range.. This is another friend. --Sotiale (talk) 12:31, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

JunzuoL@zh.wikipedia

Template:CU request Template:Quote Some of the accounts above appear to have used VPNs, but this is unlikely to make a difference to the results. --Sotiale (talk) 01:35, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Template:Quote If the behavioral patterns are the same, technical evidence will clearly prove that they are the same user. --Sotiale (talk) 02:44, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

CharlesCourb@co.wiktionary

Template:CU request Template:Quote It seems like automated account creation. --Sotiale (talk) 01:20, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Any thoughts Template:U? They mostly seem like spambots to me, especially the ones with the capital letter starting the last name. Seawolf35 (talk) 13:02, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Well, I'm not sure, I agree some of these do look like spambots at first glance, but I'm not sure either since many of these don't resemble the usual spambot pattern and there is nothing in the abuse log or spam blacklist log. As Sotiale mentioned, might be mass account creation? EPIC (talk) 13:08, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Fair enough. Seawolf35 (talk) 13:11, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Sara Dabritz@hr.wikipedia

This is Template:Confirmed through LWCU, so I have locked the account. Therefore, I assume a further local check is not needed, as long as a fellow steward doesn't think so either. EPIC (talk) 19:01, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Laziz Baxtiyorov@uz.wikipedia

Template:Stale. Sadly, for all accounts, it's been so long since their last activity that they no longer have any data. --Sotiale (talk) 10:34, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

That's unfortunate. Thank you for looking into it, though! Nataev ^talk 12:51, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Template:Quote All locked except for Edestasr. --Sotiale (talk) 13:11, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

Millat Ahmad@ta.wikipedia

• Lovedotedit and Millat Ahmad are Template:Confirmed, Millat Ahmad15 is stale but given the naming similarities and edit overlap is very likely the same person as well. – Ajraddatz (talk) 15:29, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Trade me away im the sore@en.wikinews

Just to clarify; yes, this is an LTA (see here). Based on the vandalism pattern and the data already gotten through LWCU, it's definitely the same user, so this is Template:Confirmed. Other than that, I'm noting that I have blocked some of the IP ranges they have used over the past couple of weeks and locked multiple of their accounts, but I don't think there is much else to do, as long as another steward doesn't think otherwise? EPIC (talk) 14:34, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

If you believe they are any LTA and a global xwiki abuser, you can request their lock from SRG without having to go through this checkuser, and loginwiki checkusering can be made for them naturally. Therefore, it may be a more valid and appropriate method. --Sotiale (talk) 14:35, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Okay. Thank you both. --Michael.C.Wright (talk) 15:00, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Template:CU request Template:Quote I am not sure if action is appropriate for the mobile ranges where accounts that are 10++ times larger than these are active. --Sotiale (talk) 10:52, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
