Nikolai,

CheckUser requests can be run through Special:Contact. Staff are the only users authorized to check IPs for social concerns. However, based upon what you are saying, I don't know if us as Staff would be willing to run that check for you. Part of our CheckUser Policy is that there must be a pressing social concern to check the usernames - Account A is vandalizing, Account A was banned and now we suspect they are using Account B, Account B is voting for Accout A in a sysop vote, etc., etc., We simply won't check IPs because two usernames are similar.

JPhil2.0, I have removed your JavaScript from this conversation. While it does not technically violate our Terms of Use, it is encouraging unmasking IPs in certain areas, which we do for privacy concerns. While the JS does not reveal anything that clicking on a link or two would not do, it is is still unideal to be shared.
