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.
