Requests for CheckUser information on Meta-Wiki (for other wikis please go to here)

Archives (current)→

This page allows you to request CheckUser information on Meta. Procedure Please read the CheckUser policy before asking for a check. When adding new requests, please use the {{checkuser}} template to list the user names in question and {{checkip}} for IP adresses, which simplifies investigation. List your request at the bottom of the "Requests for Meta-Wiki only" heading. When asking for a check we need to know: why do you believe that the accounts are related (please present evidence for that with the help of diffs, etc.), why, if the accounts are related, they are being used abusively, in violation of policy; and why a block or other measures can't be justified without the need of technical evidence. Important Local checkusers Note: To request checkuser access, see Steward requests/Permissions. Note: To request information for other wikis, see Steward requests/Checkuser.

Requests for Meta-Wiki only

• Acquiescence88 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log • CentralAuth • AllContribs • checkuser)
• Challenge812 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log • CentralAuth • AllContribs • checkuser)

Both these accounts are probably socks of Skiyomi based on the behavior: inserting gibberish characters - 1, see deleted contributions of Challenge812 and Acquiescence88, creating pages with no meaningful content such as "Hello" or other meaningless strings. The two accounts also both (as well as other socks) involve cross-wiki abuse with the behavior same as meta, so a global lock should be justifiable (regardless of whether they are the same individual or not). -★- PlyrStar93 _{→Message me. ←} 15:30, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
