Doing… | Info |
Please do not ask us to run checks without good reason; be aware of the following before requesting a check:
- Checkuser is a last resort for difficult cases; pursue other options first, such as posting on the administrator's noticeboard. (This is not a venue for requesting administrative action such as blocks or file clean-up.)
- Running a check will only be done to combat disruption on Commons, or as required to assist checkuser investigations on other Wikimedia wikis.
- Valid reasons for running a check include, for example: vandalism where a block of the underlying IP or IP range is needed and suspected block evasion, vote-stacking, or other disruption where technical evidence would prevent or reduce further disruption.
- Requests to check accounts already confirmed on other projects may be declined as redundant.
- Requests to run a check on yourself will be declined.
- 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.
- The privacy policy does not allow us to make a check that has the effect of revealing IP addresses.
Outcome
Responses will be brief in order to comply with Wikimedia privacy policy. Due to technical limitations, results are not always clear. Closed requests are archived after seven days.
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.

Rationale, discussion and results[edit]
Reason: These users are involved in a long-time spamming and sockpuppetry, in which the earliest sockpuppet I have found by now is Tahmidzaman. The repeatedly uploaded spams include File:Jahid.jpg (uploaded by Jahid.hassan48, Jahidur Rahman Jahid, S M Jahid Hasan1971 and Mdjhjahid), File:Jahid.png (uploaded by S M Jahid Hasan1971 and Jahidhasan360), File:Jahid.jpg.jpg (later moved to File:Jahid.jpg) and File:Jahidul.jpg.jpg (uploaded by Jahid0055), File:Jahidul.jpg (uploaded by Hasanahmedx), File:Jahid hasan.jpg (uploaded by Jahid hasan16, S M Jahid Hasan1971 and Madian wiki), File:Jahid hasan.png (uploaded by Jahidhasan360), File:S M Jahid Hasan.jpg (uploaded by S M Jahid Hasan1971 and Smtvnews), File:S M Jahid Hasan.png (uploaded by Smtvnews1971), File:Bondho.png (uploaded by Tahmidzaman and Mdjhjahid).

Rationale, discussion and results[edit]
Marlöng12 is 99% the LTA A3cb1 uploading again and again the same royalties picts. I've some doubts about Alanzx123, even if the kind of uploaded files is similar. Thanks --Ruthven (msg) 14:49, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
- Marlöng12 is high Likely. Alanzx123 is technically Unrelated. Krd 17:48, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

Rationale, discussion and results[edit]
Reason: The sockmaster has uploaded a good number of images, though some (such as File:Adrian Perez Ramirez.jpg, File:WhatsA Image 202f3-08-25 at 3.23.08 AM (2).jpg, File:Filmfinity.jpg, File:WhatsApp Imag 2023-08-25 at 3.16.53 AM.jpg, etc.) have been deleted for a number of reasons, including copyright and use of commons to advertise. The master was given a warning for uploading out-of scope files the morning (UTC) of 27 August, and was given another warning for advertising at 16:37 that same afternoon. After receiving these warnings, the sockpuppet account was created at 23:15 on 27 August and proceeded to re-upload photos that had previously been uploaded by the master and had been deleted for scope or copyright reasons (i.e. File:Adrian Perez Ramirez (2).jpg, File:Adrian Perez Ramirez (3).jpg, File:WhatsApp Imae 2023-08-25 at 3.23.08 AM.jpg). As such, I suspect that the two accounts are connected in some way.
If these accounts are run by the same individual, this would appear to be a case of evasion of scrutiny on one's own uploads after having received multiple warnings, which would amount to disruption of Commons via the abuse of multiple accounts. As such, I am requesting a checkuser examine these accounts to evaluate the extent of technical connection between them. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 03:25, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
These two are likely the same person. However this conclusion is subject to the same caveat as 서울출장 below -- they are two of at least a dozen accounts (including those listed under 서울출장 below) that are likely students at the same institution. While these two quack like the same duck, I doubt that all of them are the same person. I have blocked Gajifast. Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:35, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
- Also noting Abayomi43, who was blocked by Mdaniels5757 and was confirmed to master at an EnWiki SPI. I'm indefing the master. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 03:47, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
- And also Sulitake01, who in their first three uploads re-uploaded an image previously uploaded by master. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 03:54, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
- Noting that Mariaman81, who joined Commons this morning, is also uploading similar WhatsApp/garbled filenames and another photo of Adrian Perez Ramirez (File:Adrian Perez Ramirez (3).jpg). Belbury (talk) 10:56, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
- I've also blocked Walikomu for doing the same sort of thing as described above.
- @Jameslwoodward: Would it be possible for a rangeblock to work here, or would there be too much collateral?

- For posterity sake, I'm going to also make note of Ticket:2023083110009876. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 14:26, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
- Another new sock account at Obaraka2, a few minutes ago. Belbury (talk) 15:16, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
