Undead and Tupaka give good advice. Establishing an activity requirement is a good idea if you want to construct community decisions via voting.

I can't personally check a user for you - the VSTF have CheckUser for our own use in cleaning up vandalism and spam. Only staff can give the results of CheckUser to users - and an admin on the wiki can request this at Special:Contact/general.
