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
Reason: Possible new sock of Malttew9983. Same pattern of uploading political flags under fair use (specially from Panama). Taichi (talk) 06:35, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
- Malttew9983 is stale, nothing to check. --Krd 18:39, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

- Roberto9191 (talk • contribs • Luxo's • SUL • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log )
Rationale, discussion and results
Reason: This user appeared just a few days after Marwenwafi started editing the Quality Images Candidates page. During those few days, all of Marwenwafi's photos were dismissed as technically very poor. Roberto9191, after registration, appeared immediately on QIC. There, he tries to promote all of Marwenwafi's photos. He also does other reviews, but in my opinion, this is an account created specifically to promote Marwenwafi's photos.

- Inconclusive. Эlcobbola talk 20:30, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Elcobbola Does this disqualify me from any competition I'm actually participating in , such as "Wiki loves earth" photo competetion ? Marwenwafi (talk) 00:12, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
- I confirm he wants to earn more quality photos Mounir TOUZRI (talk) 07:10, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
- {{Pro}} This user was not willing to comply with the guidelines for QIC. Many users tried to explain him the idea of categorizing images unser QI standards. But he never changed anything to his nominations. The suddenly appearing user Roberto9191 behaved in the same way. --August Geyler (talk) 18:46, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- TOUMOU and August Geyler, this is venue to request use of the checkuser tool, not for "supporting" non-existent proposals or offering unhelpful personal opinions. The check has been done per above, and Roberto9191 is blocked; there is nothing more to be done. Эlcobbola talk 18:52, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- I am sorry. I did not know this. Thank you. August Geyler (talk) 18:57, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
