Hi,
I’m not sure what would need to happen to set this up — or if it would be technically prohibitive — but I was wondering if it would be possible to set up a CheckUser role account, similar to User:Oversight, for the purpose of sending emails through Wikipedia to the CheckUser VRT queue.
My reason for asking this is because the email linked to my WP account is an anonymous one, which I can reply to emails sent to, but can’t initiate emails from that specific address directly (or at least, I don’t think I can). Therefore, if I sent an email from my email client to the CheckUser email address, it wouldn’t be able to be verified to my account; whereas one sent through the Wikipedia interface would be.

Currently, it advises users to look at the "active users" list, which shows which user who happen to have CU bits have done literally anything lately, while Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Audit/Statistics shows who has been recently active as a CU. Should we replace and/or just add a link to the stats? Thoughts? Beeblebrox ( talk) 18:51, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

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.
