And to elaborate on Laagone's description of Checkuser, that's rarely handed out to admins, even of big wikis. And when someone makes a request to staff to check one or more user's IPs, that needs very good arguments as to why that's needed. It's mostly done to see if accounts are sockpuppets. Without proper reasons, the request is denied.
