Choose the code letter that best fits your request. Provide evidence such as diff links as required or requested. Note that some code letters inherently require specific evidence. When listing suspected accounts or IP addresses, use the {{checkuser}} or {{checkip}} templates. Please do not use this template in a section header. You may add your request to the top of the #Outstanding requests section, by adding {{Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/CASENAMEHERE}}. If you do not, clerks should check for pages in Category:Checkuser requests to be listed and will do this for you. Sign your request. After submitting a request Purge cache Checkuser clerks assist with maintenance of the page but do not directly respond to checkuser requests. If you need help, post at Wikipedia talk:Requests for checkuser. Responses will be brief in order to comply with Wikipedia's privacy policy. Likewise, the privacy policy often prevents us from running a check which has the effect of revealing IP addresses. Due to technical factors, results are not always clear. Check back regularly to see the outcome of your request. Checkusers and clerks do not generally issue blocks. You may need to do this yourself or submit a request at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. Case subpages are typically archived several days after a checkuser responds. More procedures at Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Procedures. Privacy violation? If you feel that a checkuser has led to a violation of the Wikimedia Foundation privacy policy regarding yourself, please refer the case to the Ombudsman commission.

File a Checkuser Request

Cases are created on subpages of Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case. If you require help or advice, ask at Wikipedia talk:Requests for checkuser. 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to the currently open section (if the case is not yet archived) or adding a new section to the top (if the case has been archived).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 it here or add Category:Checkuser requests to be listed to the subpage. If creating a new case subpage, add the name of the main account (or "puppetmaster", not the sockpuppet!) in the box below. Leave out the "User:" prefix. Do not remove the text in the box, add the name to the end only (that is, append the name to the existing text). Then press "Request a checkuser" and you will be taken to a page where you can fill out the request. Example: if you want to request a checkuser on User:John Doe, enter the text: Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/John Doe <inputbox> type=create editintro=Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Inputbox/Header preload=Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Inputbox/Sample default=Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/ buttonlabel=Request a checkuser bgcolor=#F8FCFF width=50 </inputbox>

Clever curmudgeon

• Clever curmudgeon (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)
• Bromyne (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)

Clever curmudgeon (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki) was blocked on 14th June for 1 month. This was the fifth block of this user. On 15th June, the account Bromyne (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki) was created. The first two edits of Bromyne were to User talk:Iodyne, a user that Clever curmudgeon knew, and conversed with frequently on each other's user talk pages. Since then, Bromyne has demonstrating similar behaviour to that of Clever curmudgeon, including (but not limited to)...

• Conversing with Iodyne on User talk:Iodyne. Curmudgeon/Bromyne posts a message on Iodyne's talk page, and Iodyne responds on theirs. (Curmudgeon: [1] [2], Bromyne: [3] http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Iodyne&diff=prev&oldid=58961847)
• Curmudgeon once remarked that he would get popups to revert people if they reverted his actions [4]. Bromyne, a new user, suddenly gets popups as well, seemingly from nowhere [5]
• Both users edit, and seem interested in, pornography related articles.
• Iodyne once added an image of me onto Curmudgeon's userpage saying it was him, waiting for a "bowl of black dicks". [6]. Curmudgeon subsequently referred to me as "dark lord of the black dicks" [7]. Bromyne has recently said that anyone that opposes his reason to keep the article George R. Binks (an article created by Iodyne, that Clever curmudgeon took an interest in) then they need a bowl of "black dicks" [8]

More evidence is available if required. I would like this checkuser to be performed to establish if Clever curmudgeon is indeed Bromyne, so that Bromyne can be blocked indefinitely as a sockpuppet of curmudgeon and curmudgeon's block extended for block evasion.

•  Confirmed that Bromyne is a sockpuppet of Clever Curmudgeon. Furthermore, they're both sockpuppets of Maior1 (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki). Mackensen (talk) 22:26, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
