Requests for checkuser

This is the place to request investigations of abuse of multiple accounts or of other circumstances that require use of checkuser privileges.

Requesting a checkuser

---

Please don't ask us to run checks without good reason; be aware of the following before requesting:

1. Checkuser is a means to choose for difficult cases. If multiple accounts show clear behavior patterns or editing type, please post on the administrator's noticeboard.
2. Running a check will only be done to combat disruption on Wikidata, or as required to assist checkuser investigations on other Wikimedia wikis.
   • Valid reasons for running a check include, for example: suspected block evasion, vote-stacking, or other disruption where technical evidence would prevent or reduce further disruption.
3. Evidence is required. When you request a check, you must include a rationale that demonstrates (e.g., by including diffs) what the disruption to the project is, and why you believe the accounts are related.
   • Requests to run a check without evidence or with ambiguous reasoning will result in delays or the request not being investigated. Do not post requests for fishing without any grounds.
4. The privacy policy does not allow us to make a check that has the effect of revealing IP addresses. Do not post requests to compare IPs to accounts or IPs to IPs comparisons.
5. Requests to run a check on yourself will be declined.

Outcome

---

Responses will be brief in order to comply with Wikimedia privacy policy. Due to technical limitations, results are not always clear.

Privacy concerns

---

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

To request a checkuser

---

Cases are created on subpages of Wikidata: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 (if the case has been archived). When editing an existing case, be sure to list/transclude the subpage here at the bottom.

Example

If you want to request a checkuser on User:John Doe, enter the text Wikidata:Requests for checkuser/Case/John Doe then click "Make a checkuser request". You will be taken to a page where you can fill out the request. Please make your request there brief and concise.

Translate this header box!

MrProperLawAndOrder

• MrProperLawAndOrder (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · checkuser (log) · investigate)

Rationale, discussion and results

Reason: The user frequently cites EnWiki policy but doesn't have an account on EnWiki. In addition Edoderoo voiced additional suspicion at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Administrators%27_noticeboard#User:MrProperLawAndOrder ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 21:54, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Results: @Edoderoo: Which "5-letter-long user" do you refer to here? Other CheckUser's (@Sotiale, BRPever, علاء:) are free to disagree, but I'm not fully comfortable running a check with only the evidence that they cite enwiki policy without having edited there.--Jasper Deng (talk) 01:23, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

That other user is Jura1, a user on Telegram asked me for this as he/she had the feeling they were the same user. I learned that they took part in the same discussion(s), which made it borderline abusive as I as told. That is all I know so far. Edoderoo (talk) 04:32, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

@Edederoo: What evidence is there? I don't think it's characteristic of Jura to cite external policies.--Jasper Deng (talk) 08:00, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Agree, I cannot see how MrProperLawAndOrder and Jura1 should be identical. However, User:Jura1 made two related comments on WD:AN in May regarding User:MrProperLawAndOrder (new account from early April), but without mentioning their user name:

• Wikidata:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive/2020/05#Tamagotchi block (very cryptic, thus not really actionable)
• Wikidata:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive/2020/05#User:Tamawashi

In other words, the assumption is that User:MrProperLawAndOrder is an account operated by the person who received a global community ban at meta:Requests for comment/Global ban for Tobias Conradi in 2015, and who is assumed to have returned with lots IP activity and potentially some undeclared accounts since then. I think that quite some users here would agree that this person has never really left Wikimedia projects after the global ban, as they have been around pretty much all the time. Their fields of work, editing patterns, technological skills, formatting quirks, inability to accept consensus against their own position, and tendency to drift into pretty aggressive, accusive conversation manners in conflicts are all remarkable. User:MrProperLawAndOrder looks in many regards meanwhile like a sock of said banned user.
If that assumption was correct, User:MrProperLawAndOrder would have been a rather promising attempt for a clean start, as there was in the beginning not much conflict, but a lot of rather productive work for which they earned some applause from other users. Meanwhile, however, there have been some discussions in June that do not look promising any longer, and are reminiscent of said banned user's behavior.
I am not sure whether I should be happy about this request in the way how it was made. It is also unclear to me whether checkuser can help here at all, as I do not expect them to operate other accounts in parallel for which checkuser data is still available. However, the IP ranges usually used by the user in question are well-known (Telefonica ranges geolocating in Berlin, and sometimes also Hamburg-based IPs of another provider). That said, I would not be surprised if User:MrProperLawAndOrder would be blocked indefinitely rather soon anyways for behavioral reasons.
Disclaimer: recently I had some contact with them as well on Property talk:P213 and the corresponding property. ---MisterSynergy (talk) 13:06, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

@Jasper Deng, Sotiale: I suggest what Jura said in Wikidata:Administrators'_noticeboard/Archive/2020/04#Please_semi is about Tobias Conradi, and both the IP and MrProperLawAndOrder edited Property_talk:P7902. And there is almost certainly some information about this user in checkuserwiki.--GZWDer (talk) 13:34, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

• On the grounds provided by @MisterSynergy, GZWDer: (but emphatically not the original evidence, which would never have been sufficient to run a check), I declare them Likely Tobias Conradi based on both technical evidence and the observed behavior. Therefore, their block is upgraded to indefinite as a sock.--Jasper Deng (talk) 19:35, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

@Sotiale, BRPever, علاء: Please lock this account and block any relevant IP ranges.--GZWDer (talk) 00:34, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

Yes, I will review it and handle it soon. --Sotiale (talk) 06:49, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

27 June 2021

• HumanAFuser (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · checkuser (log) · investigate)

Rationale, discussion and results

Reason: Global ban since 2015, creates socks or works as an IP with a similiar pattern: “in the beginning not much conflict, but a lot of rather productive work for which they earned some applause from other users [but then] some discussions […] that do not look promising any longer” (see above). The “not so promising phase“ has begun.

User:MisterSynergy has compiled a list of typical patterns (see above):

1. Field of work: Interest in authority data (“Normdatentroll, SFZ-Troll, ISNI-Troll”, especially around GND ID (P227)-related properties such as Deutsche Biographie (GND) ID (P7902) (also the main field of activity in 2021)
2. editing patterns: masses of edits in said field, mostly well-intentioned and productive but as the user has little to no ability to listen and discuss productively, not-so-great edits aren’t removed.
3. technological skills as demonstrated in his work on Property talk:P7902
4. formatting quirks such as
   • raw data mingled with complaints about data quality: compare 2020 vs 2021
   • endless lists with varying degrees of usefulness: 2019 vs 2021
5. inability to accept consensus against their own position
   • Edit warring, see Property_talk:P7902#Value_not_a_GND
   • edit war on 22 June 2021‎ about my comment resulted in a partial ban by administrator User:Epìdosis
6. tendency to drift into pretty aggressive, accusive conversation manners in conflicts are all remarkable
   • demanding “proof”: “Kolja21, wo ist das belegt?”, 2020, 2021, 2021, after this CU has been filed
   • pointless arguments, see for example Wikidata:Project_chat#External_ID_property_on_five_items_about_humans_out_of_millions_marked_as_no_value with User:From Hill To Shore.

For further reading on IP ranges and the questionable usefulness of CU and other actions see above.

Just for reference, the following recurring elements of the user’s behavior might lie in the future:

• long lists with perceived wrongdoings of other users:
  • de:Wikipedia:Fragen_zur_Wikipedia/Archiv/2019/Woche_06
• accusing others of vandalism
  • de:Wikipedia:Fragen_zur_Wikipedia/Archiv/2019/Woche_06

--Emu (talk) 15:06, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

+1. Same user as 77.183.151.129 and User:Michael Montag. --Kolja21 (talk) 17:10, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

Based on username and field of work, User:Matthias_Mittwoch is another one to look at. —MisterSynergy (talk) 11:54, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

Results: We have Michael Montag and HumanAFuser Confirmed to be the same. I would say (with the behavioral evidence) that it is Likely that they are Tobias Conradi.--Jasper Deng (talk) 07:13, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

@Jasper Deng: Items created through https://quickstatements.toolforge.org/#/batch/57984 and https://quickstatements.toolforge.org/#/batch/57971 have very near resemblances with item created through https://quickstatements.toolforge.org/#/batch/35535 b MrProperLawAndOrder. Given the evidence, I think to have to proceed as in 2020. --Epìdosis 08:08, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

@Epìdosis: Wikidata have no policy to delete pages merely because of they are created by blocked users, not is it a established practice.--GZWDer (talk) 09:13, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

@GZWDer, Jasper Deng: I perfectly agree, of course! With "I think to have to proceed as in 2020" in fact I meant the necessity of blocking the accounts as socks, not of deleting the items they created; in fact, as in 2020, I am against their deletion (and they weren't deleted in 2020) and I support their enrichment instead. --Epìdosis 11:12, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

@Epìdosis: These two accounts are now locked.--GZWDer (talk) 14:37, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

• Humanisator (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · checkuser (log) · investigate)

Rationale, discussion and results

1. Field of work: check, GND and similar authority data
2. editing patterns: should be obvious from Special:Contributions/Humanisator
3. technological skills: as always, Tobias shows quite some talent in his endeavours
4. formatting quirks, inability to accept consensus against their own position and tendency to drift into pretty aggressive manners: see this textbook case including this: “It seems as if the goal of Kolja21 posting here is not to improve items about entities of type human that have or may have a P227 claim in the Wikimedia project named "Wikidata", but to create drama to intimidate a contributor and maybe get him kicked-out”

To be honest, I’m not even sure that we need a RfC per w:en:WP:RBI and w:en:WP:DUCK, but Epìdosis suggested one @Kolja21, Epìdosis, MisterSynergy: --Emu (talk) 12:30, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

• Herrenloses Damenfahrrad (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · checkuser (log) · investigate)

Rationale, discussion and results

Another likely successor account. @1997kB, BRPever, Jasper Deng, Sotiale, علاء: Could we have some indication whether you plan to follow up on this case? Or do you consider this to be outside of CU territory? I don’t want to be pushy but this is a user with a lot of potential to disrupt Wikidata. --Emu (talk) 15:57, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Effectively these users starting immediately to write to other users asking for confirmations or edits regarding authority IDs are quite suspect (e.g. recently also Salatalık Kral (talk • contribs • logs)). --Epìdosis 17:29, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

That account is Confirmed to the above three accounts.--Jasper Deng (talk) 21:17, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

• The above three are Confirmed to be the same and Likely Tobias Conradi. Herrenloses Damenfahrrad is Confirmed to be Tobias.--Jasper Deng (talk) 21:11, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Comment

@Kolja21, Epìdosis, MisterSynergy, Emu:

Werte Wikidata-Normdatler,

ich bin ein ehemaliges Mitglied der Redaktion Chemie der Wikipedia. Derzeit habe ich einen kaputten Knöchel und mache deswegen kurzweilige Wikidata-Edits.

Auf meiner früheren Arbeitsstelle sollte ich arbeiten und nicht Wikidata bearbeiten. Daher gewöhnte ich mir damals an, jeweils 50 (max. 65) Edits mit einem Wegwerf-Account zu tätigen und danach wieder ein neues Konto anzulegen. Es soll daher kein Geheimnis sein, dass ich

• Dawn Shaughnessy (talk • contribs • logs)
• Generation Abtreibung (talk • contribs • logs)
• Northern Illinois Bottlecap Balloon Brigade (talk • contribs • logs)
• Herrenloses Damenfahrrad (talk • contribs • logs)
• Grifters gotta grift (talk • contribs • logs)

angelegt habe. Alle Konten haben dasselbe Passwort, das ich meinetwegen einem von euch mitteilen könnte.

Aus der Mehrzahl der Konten könnte man mir wohl einen Strick drehen: Ich weise darauf hin, dass sie konsekutiv aufeinander folgen und es keine zeitlichen Überschneidungen gibt. Ich logge mich üblicherweise nie wieder in alte Konten ein.

Über die Relevanz von Dingen (notability) kann man immer streiten, ich würde aber für jeden inhaltlichen Edit meine Hand ins Feuer legen.

Ich stelle gerne meine Telekom-Telefonnummer auf pastebin, lasse mich anrufen und kann dann beliebige mich verifizierende Edits von jedem dieser Konten tätigen.

PS: Bitte werft mich nicht mit dem Normdatentrolltroll zusammen. Ich habe mit jedem Konto z.B. Duplikate nach Property talk:P214/Duplicates/humans zusammengelegt. Ich hoffe sehr, dass ich dabei keinen einzigen Fehler gemacht habe. Falls doch, bitte mitteilen.

Bei Muḥammad Sallām Madkūr habe ich aufgrund der schwachen Datenlage nicht einfach zusammengelegt, sondern Kolja21, den ich schon oft als kurzen Dienstweg zur DNB benutzt habe (er möge mir das verzeihen), gefragt.

Bei nach DNB-Daten erstellten Datenobjekten von Russen oder Arabern fehlt oft der Name im Alphabet des Herkunftlands. Das korrigiere ich gerne. Beim Thailändischen fehlt mir die Fähigkeit dazu, sodass ich bei Sō̜nphachan Thavīkham peinlicherweise Google Translate benutzt habe. Habe ich sonst noch weitere Sünden begangen? Keines meiner Konten hat irgenwelche Debatten geführt wie der obige Troll.

CU-Hinweis: Ich editiere stets von einem Telekom-Heimanschluss im PLZ-Gebiet 38 aus.

Viele Grüße,

--Grifters gotta grift (talk) 16:55, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Rationale, discussion and results

Reason: Aligned with the new tactic of creating items (people, papers, organizations) in a niche. Still with a fixation on certain users, see User_talk:Kolja21#Johannes_Günther.

• 5678fghj (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · checkuser (log) · investigate)

Rationale, discussion and results

Reason: Consistent with previous early editing choices: Interest in the Erik Amburger database ID (P6878), creation of (mostly unsourced) items about people from Prussia / Russia / Baltics. CC Kolja21. --Emu (talk) 13:28, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

Results: Very Likely them and thus blocked accordingly. As they are evading a global ban they should also be referred to m:SRG for a global lock.--Jasper Deng (talk) 09:00, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

• Asterix2023 (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · checkuser (log) · investigate)

Reason:

1. Field of work: check, GND and similar authority data
2. technological skills: as always, Tobias shows quite some talent in his endeavours
3. formatting quirks, inability to accept consensus against their own position and tendency to drift into pretty aggressive manners: Communication was okay for some time but the final stage has begun, endless discussions about each and everything while performing high-volume batch operations.

Reason: Weird activity. Some activity in the Vodafone IP range (2A02:8108:50BF:C694:95E8:5F54:A208:E48D) is linked to this. Together with the rather high level of technical ingenuity, this leads to Tobias. CC Karl Oblique --Emu (talk) 20:32, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

See also Wikidata:Requests for checkuser/Case/KunzLob954, sorry for duplicate. --Emu (talk) 20:34, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

These three are Confirmed to each other with no sleepers, but it's Inconclusive as to whether they are related to Tobias. Considering the temporal proximity of a higher-confidence Tobias sock (Asterix2023, above), I'd say it's Unlikely to be them.--Jasper Deng (talk) 03:07, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Rationale, discussion and results

Reason:

• New Wikimedia user who shows unusual familiarity with MediaWiki, Wikidata and Wikidata tools.
• A lot of focus on Erik Amburger database ID (P6878) and Deutsche Biographie (GND) ID (P7902).
• Posting repeatedly on User talk:Naive rm asking for sources (which the account blocked in #19_November_2023 also did).
• Removing complaints from their talk page Special:Diff/2158447535 (which one of the accounts reported in #15_March_2023 also did).
• Rude when interacting with people Special:PermanentLink/2161707652#Long-term_vandalism_62.43.191.154.

High technical knowledge, interest in Baltics-related people, mass creation of new items, propensity for endless discussions (e. g.Property talk:P227). CC Kolja21, Epìdosis --Emu (talk) 12:19, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Comments: The discussion on Property talk:P227 is not „endless“, but rather BergwachtBern (talk • contribs • logs) noting wrong links to Geni.com (Q2621214). He is doing better work than the original editors of Baltisches biografisches Lexikon digital (Q18616550) – this is complex and highly valuable work!--Bernice Heiderman (talk) 13:29, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Rationale, discussion and results

Reason: As initially raised by MisterSynergy at WD:AN, Diff/2245944035, and as delineated by MisterSynergy and Emu, in multiple subsections above:

1. Field of work: Interest in authority data, e.g., ISNI (P213), P7859 (P7859), WorldCat Entities ID (P10832), Library of Congress authority ID (P244)
2. Editing patterns: masses of edits in said field, mostly well-intentioned and productive but as the user has little to no ability to listen and discuss productively, not-so-great edits aren't removed. (link 1) and (link 2)
3. Technological skills
4. Formatting quirks
5. Inability to accept consensus against their own position (link 1), (link 2)
6. Tendency to drift into pretty aggressive, accusatory conversation manners in conflicts are all remarkable (link 1), (link 2)
   • Demanding "proof" (link 1), (link 2)
7. Accusing others of vandalism: Topic:Ybzop0fjyjdnwzgk, Diff/2245420569, (link 1), and (link 2)
8. Deletes critical comments: Diff/2245834534 and Diff/2245612915
9. Still with a fixation on a certain user: pings made at Diff/2246058611 and Diff/2246759797.

• BPLY (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · checkuser (log) · investigate)

Rationale, discussion and results

Reason: Also a relatively new account, that seamlessly continues where User:ISNIplus was stopped. Remains keen on the deletion of P7859 (P7859). The account's first edit made, on 2024-09-10, removed a reference utilizing P7859. Afterwards, a removal of P7859 on another item, plus many others. Followed by resuming their previous support, lists, and advanced knowledge at Properties for deletion/P7859. Made an inquiry (ping) about a blocked user adding an erroneous identifier, and added another list here. And suspicion was already raised. -- Dcflyer (talk) 22:53, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

• RepairWD (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · checkuser (log) · investigate)

Rationale, discussion and results

Reason: Another relatively new account, that seamlessly continues where Here4u2 (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · checkuser (log) · investigate) was stopped. Here4u2, RepairWD, and previous incarnations of the individual have been intent upon unilaterally creating new, separate items for architectural structures that house institutions, although there is a lack of consensus for this practice. Here4u2 created a building item for Sainte Marie de La Tourette (Q1902867), among others, while RepairWD created a building item for Riverdale Library (Q95116189), among others. The RepairWD account was created on 29 September 2024; on 2 October 2024, RepairWD made the following comment on the property talk page for ISNI (P213), under the section heading Add conflicts with P2186 Wiki Loves Monuments ID : Wiki Loves Monuments ID (P2186) is for physical objects, not for institutions. The multiple socks of the individual, over time, have added several conflicts-with constraints for P213, e.g., architect, to further this purpose. -- Dcflyer (talk) 03:05, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Same modus operandi as multiple previous socks. Account was created on 13 September 2024, several relatively large batches were run to add an external identifier (DDB person (GND) ID (P13049)), and as of the time of this writing, the account has amassed a total of 137934 edits.

Reason: Account created in January with a small number of edits that sprung to life again with ISNI batches 21 minutes after KababyZMinsem being reported. William Graham (talk) 12:48, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

I suspect that its resumed activity is rather connected to the block of Wendiosmanh (talk • contribs • logs), but can't prove that. I also suspect that KababyZMinsem might rather be a sockpuppet of Matlin (unresponsive to talk page messages which is more typically for them), but can't prove that either. --Dorades (talk) 12:53, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

I agree, effectively at a second look KababyZMinsem seems more probably a sockpuppet of Matlin. Epìdosis 16:31, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

Reason: same editions as Zghbv. Madamebiblio (talk) 17:38, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

I add a comment for the record: the items created in the last two days are nearly 42k and all of them had the problem of the form "Surname, Name" that has been lamented by many users in the talk pages, in vain obviously; I am running 6 QS batches to fix them (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). I am also adding German and English labels besides mul labels because I'm certain that in many cases the label taken from GND is good only as German and sometimes English label but in many cases not as mul label (e.g. Greek and Georgian authors). --Epìdosis 22:03, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

We also have 2200 items (out of 42k) sharing the VIAF ID (P214) with an existing item, see query https://w.wiki/BqYG: they are flooding Property talk:P214/Duplicates/humans right now and we absolutely need help in fixing them. Most, but not all, are duplicates, so I don't feel confident making a massive merge. --Epìdosis 00:18, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

I started a batch of 887 merges which should pretty certain: same label, same VIAF ID (P214), same ISNI (P213), the new item has GND ID (P227) and the older item has no GND. Epìdosis 15:47, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
