Please do not ask us to run checks without good reason; be aware of the following before requesting a check:

1. 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.)

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. The privacy policy does not allow us to make a check that has the effect of revealing IP addresses.
