Meta:Requests for CheckUser information

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 addresses, 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.

Requests for Meta-Wiki only[edit]

Slowking4[edit]

Culturefan4 is a new account created on March 16 and their only edits have been on Requests for comment/Global ban for Slowking4 (2). Besides the similarities in username, they claim to be one of their fans (and deny they are Slowking4), but I generally find it very hard to believe that they are not the same user (or are meatpuppets). --SHB2000 (talk | contribs) 07:15, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If there is going to be an attempt to dox users with low edit counts, why not do ALL the low edit accounts that have been questioned, and not just badger the oppose votes. User:Seawolf35 ==> User:Naleksuh also User:Werieth / User:Betacommand Janni Rye (talk) 16:36, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And here I was beginning to think the drama was at a low level. Go ahead, run the check. Seawolf35 (talk) 16:41, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Janni Rye Exciting, your words of Betacommand reminded me of something happened previously. This request is not anything could be considered as doxxing, instead an attempt to stop consensus hijacked by sockpuppets. Lemonaka (talk) 10:21, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Lemonaka. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs) 20:22, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: though Culturefan4's account was created to support Slowking4 in this RfC, and they're certainly a sockpuppet of someone, I don't think there is sufficient evidence to warrant a comparison with Slowking4. This isn't consistent with Slowking4's usual communication style. Thanks for the report, it is good to have more eyes on this regardless of whether a check happens.
