Hello

Good evening, I just want to you to know that I have no idea who that IP person is who got blocked from en.WP a few days ago for supposedly being a sock of me. For one, I haven't used that IP's range for quite some time. For now, I'll safely assume that person's telling the truth, including the part about her being a woman. She said she had only owned her current device for a few months. I don't know squat about her identity or device information, but I've owned my smartphone (which I'm using to write this message) for over 3 years, much longer than she has. Can you run CheckUser on me and her? Because I strongly doubt her device info matches mine. Shāntián Tàiláng (talk) 22:24, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

I am not a checkuser, but I do know that they don't do fishing expeditions. 331dot (talk) 22:30, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

What exactly is a "fishing expedition"? Is that finding out another user's browser & device info out of pure curiosity? (A little similar to what the hacker Kevin Mitnick did.) Shāntián Tàiláng (talk) 01:57, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

In this context a "fishing expedition" is an effort to do something without cause in the hope of finding something. Per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CheckUser "On some Wikimedia projects, an editor's IP addresses may be checked upon their request, typically to prove innocence against a sockpuppet allegation. Such checks are not allowed on the English Wikipedia and such requests will not be granted." Checkusers must have a clear reason to use their tools; it's not done on request. 331dot (talk) 08:40, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

Also, I think you should tell Surjection that I can't possibly be 98.203.220.174 (talk • contribs • WHOIS • RBL • abusefilter • tools • guc • stalktoy • block user • block log • Abuse filter log) (who he blocked as a suspected open proxy and whose pages he mass-deleted, on another WMF project which I won't name).
