    When submitting a request

    • If submitting a new case subpage, use the inputbox below; if adding to an existing case subpage, see WP:RFCU/P#Repeat requests.
    • 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 {{Misplaced Pages: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.

    This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference.
    Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump.
    Cases are created on subpages of Misplaced Pages:Requests for checkuser/Case.
    If you require help or advice, ask at Misplaced Pages 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to the currently open section (if the case is not yet archived) or adding a new section to the top (if the case has been archived).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:
    Misplaced Pages:Requests for checkuser/Case/John Doe

    General Tojo 2

    Misplaced Pages:Long term abuse/General Tojo provides most details on this sad saga where one user mobilised 100s of sockpuppets to war with an increasing number of users, including several admins, with regards to Parkinson's disease. Tojo (a presumed alias of Keith Bridgeman) was blocked by community ban, and the ArbComm had to intervene to maximise the block. Now, a user has appeared that edited little during the PD wars but engaged in edits that were typical of Tojo (see User_talk:Gerard Doyle) but somehow managed to escape the blocks. This same user now pushes non-standard views on the Parkinson's page and makes accusations rather similar to Tojo's past defenses on his talkpage. JFW | T@lk 20:04, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

    More info:
     Additional information needed Code letter and links/diffs as appropriate. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 19:38, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
    More info added. JFW | T@lk 20:24, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

    information Note: Someone who has older checkuser data on Tojo on file is going to have to handle this. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 18:09, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

    The deleted August 7 edits at Special:Undelete/Parkinson's_disease were made by Tojo socks and Tracer is a likely Tojo sock on meta if anyone has cross project Checkuser access. --  Netsnipe  ►  19:55, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
    Comment: Uninvited, you may have some of the earlier data on file yourself, per the second request here. Newyorkbrad 02:12, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
    I think Fred Bauder would be best suited to check this one, since he has complied an extensive page about GT socks here. 01:08, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
    RJ68 is definitely Tojo coming in from Emirates Telecommunications Corporation. I believe he lives in England, but somehow can use Emirates Telecommunications Corporation in Dubai. I hesitate to block this provider as some of the few Arabs who edit here use that provider. Emailing Emirates Telecommunications Corporation gets no response. Fred Bauder 02:12, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
    Checkuser is not really necessary to identify Tojo. He has a very limited repertoire of tendentious editing of Parkinson's disease and related articles and insertion of scurrilous information into articles about black athletes and entertainers. Fred Bauder 02:19, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
    Fred, our main concern is Gerard Doyle (talk · contribs). Could you check his origin (UK or Emirates?). JFW | T@lk 18:33, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

    A slightly non standard request. I'm trying to send a complaint to an ISP I'm probably going to need Ips but I will need the foundations permission for that. In the mean time I don't want the IP to be lost by falling out of the logs. So I would like the Ips to be extracted and and a record kept. Idealy a copy would be forwarded to Brad Patrick. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Geni (talk • contribs)

    General Tojo

    General Tojo was blocked for edit warring and disruption on Parkinson's disease and took to continuing to disrupt from IPs in the 88.104.0.0/13 range. After I semi-protected the article to stop the ongoing problems, the three users above showed up to continue with similar changes. GraemeL 14:13, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

    I've blocked Hirohito indefinitely for incendiary username, and Parkinsons for 48h for sockpuppeting using the Hirohito account. Their style (and choice of subject) is identical. A range block may become necessary if the disruption does not cease. JFW | T@lk 15:48, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

    That's a deliberately false statement. General Tojo was blocked for the username. It was claimed to be not allowed, and so resulted in a blocking without complying with Wii requirements first. What you describe as warring and disruption was making improvements to the PD site. You specifically thanked me for making them !!! However, you obviousy have double standards. When you or somebody you agree with makes changes no matter how stupied you allow them. When I do exactly the same you desribe it as vandalaism or warring. You have obvious double standards depending on what suits your personal interest and prejudices. General Tojo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.106.216.81 (talk • contribs)

    That user's only edits are in violating WP:NPA on two pages. I took the liberty of adding that address to your list of IP addresses since he claims to be Tojo. All of the contributions follow exactly the same style of writing, commenting, editwarring, 3RR violations, Personal Attacks, Bold Prefacing, massive editing, etc, along with claiming to be Tojo himself on talk pages without signing his name with tildes. Sincerely, Logical2u (Wikibreak) 19:31, 26 June 2006 (UTC)


     Confirmed Mackensen (talk) 23:11, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

    Additional requests

    Could you also investigate:

     Confirmed these as well. Mackensen (talk) 13:12, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

    Further additional requests

    Additionally...

    I'm wondering if we shouldn't do a range block on this one. There seem to be few other edits emanating from that range, and Tojo remains a complete and utter nuisance on the PD page as well as Japan-related articles. JFW | T@lk 12:15, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

     Clerk note: Additional names added July 2. It should be noted that once a user has established a pattern of abusively using sockpuppets, it is not necessary to prove each one by technical investigation before taking action. Thatcher131 16:48, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

    Agreed. I'll check the range (88.104.0.0/13) and implement a block shortly. Mackensen (talk) 16:55, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

    Well done. Keep the good work up. --General.Tojo 18:14, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

     Clerk note: moved commentary to talk page. Thatcher131 19:54, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

     Clerk note: This request is closed and the names added recently are probably not being seen by the checkusers. New suspects should be added to Category:Suspected Misplaced Pages sockpuppets of General Tojo and you should post a notice at the administrator's noticeboard to request that new sockpuppet accounts be blocked.Thatcher131 16:03, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
