Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention

Usernames for administrator attention

This page is intended for reports of usernames that are blatant and serious violations of the username policy requiring an immediate block. Reports will be assessed in accordance with the username policy, the UAA instructions, and the following bullet points. Please ensure you are familiar with the assessment criteria before making a report. Except in the instance of an egregious name violation, please do not report accounts with no edits or those who have not edited in the preceding 2 weeks. Real names are permitted, except when the editor implies they are someone other than themselves, such as impersonating a notable living person. Promotional names require evidence to be blocked. Do not report a username merely because it "appears" promotional. For libellous usernames or usernames that contain another editor's nonpublic personal information, please contact an oversighter and do not report it here. Discuss less-serious violations with the user on their talk page so that they can rename or abandon their account in good faith. Templates such as {{Uw-username}} or {{Uw-coi-username}} may be used. If, after discussion with a user, the problem still seems unresolved, a username request for comment may be in order. Do not leave a username warning on a user's talk page and also immediately report them here. Do one or the other, and not both simultaneously. Patrollers are asked to remove reports that have been declined, are bot-reported false positives or are otherwise non-blatant or stale reports. You can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format.

Note: Patrollers may wish to monitor usernames flagged by filters 54, 148 and 149; private filters 102, 354, 499, 579; and this recent changes filter tag.

Wait until the user edits. (No more disruptive than spelling your name in Cyrillic or Katakana, which productive editors do sometimes.) I'd hate to block such an amusing username if he turns out to be productive. ~Amatulić (talk) 00:24, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Not that the above username bothers me in particular, it's one of those that's on the border, and I figured I'd, well, bring it to your attention. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 03:08, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

  • I think the best way to handle this is to discuss with the user - I don't see any of their 115 edits that mention Versa Transit. If we ask, we may able to retain a good contributor. TNXMan 13:07, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
