Are there any policies arround a cabal of individual users acting together to influece the bias of a wiki article? If they are coordinating their efforts, what differentiates this from a single user's sockpuppetry? Thank you for your time. 2600:8804:6600:4:BD84:27CE:9D3F:EBC5 (talk) 20:53, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
Dear CU team,
This is to notify you that on 17 January, h18:28, I sent a request for investigation to checkuser-en-wpATwikipedia.org, given that in a comment from November 2023 hereabove I read that the latter is not actively monitored.

In the 2024 RFA review, one of the subproposals in the Phase 2 of Admin recall involves Checkuser confirmation. Feedback from active CU would be appreciated on how feasible this would be. Soni (talk) 17:13, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
The checkuser process is not open to auditing. From a technical perspective, there is no page to confirm that the checkuser process was performed because it likely involves not only the internal technical aspect handled by the MediaWiki tool but also a human element in analyzing user behavior patterns. I believe there should be a task list available that can at least ensure the technical checkuser was conducted and found no connection. It is not clear to me that it was done just because the administrator said so. I think this step is necessary to prevent human errors. Wilfredor (talk) 23:12, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
