 The CheckUser tool is used by a small group of trusted users (called Checkusers). The tool allows its users to determine the IP addresses used by a user account, as well as other technical data stored by the server about a user account or IP address.
-The Checkuser team uses the tool to establish whether two or more accounts are being operated by one individual or group of people, and then to protect Wikipedia against disruptive or abusive behaviour.

-Checkusers are able to view a list of all IP addresses used by a user account to edit the English Wikipedia, a list of all edits made by an IP, or all user accounts that have used an IP address. After completing an investigation with the CheckUser tool, most Checkusers release their findings in the generalised form (such as with a statement that "account A is, is not, or maybe the same as accounts B or C"); on the English Wikipedia, the release of actual private data (like "account D is connecting through IP address 0.1.2.3") is exceptionally rare. Conclusions derived from CheckUser data have limited usefulness, and a negative finding by a CheckUser rarely precludes obvious sock-puppetry.
