Re-adding report that was removed in error. This account was created yesterday. The user made two edits to Maine Senate that appear to have been in good faith and has not edited since.

- The username itself is
Not a blatant violation of the username policy. Ks0stm (T•C•G•E) 18:56, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
- I wasn't certain on this one. Isn't "webmaster" making a misleading claim? I realize it means webmaster of (probably) the Maine Senate, in which case it's not an intentional violation. Tckma (talk) 21:52, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Not a blatant violation of the username policy. This is a stage name, clearly representing an individual.
- We seem to have a rash of these accounts being created. See User:Deanseay-T and User:Blackliquid below. All share the disturbing similarity of having a userpage with a brief description of the performer. This makes me wonder if these accounts have been created by the same person, possibly a PR firm? I remember once seeing a tool to determine who created which accounts but I can't remember where it is. ~Amatulić (talk) 00:12, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Not a blatant violation of the username policy. This is a stage name, clearly representing one individual rather than an organization. Maybe impersonating? Possibly, but it looks to me more like a case of self-promotion. ~Amatulić (talk) 23:21, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
Not a blatant violation of the username policy. Consider filing a report at the conflict of interest noticeboard. Perhaps we should clarify this point at the Village Pump. There's some disagreement among admins whether to block COI names that clearly belong to one person rather than a role. This isn't any different from someone calling himself "Led Zeppelin fan" and editing articles about Led Zeppelin. In the end, in these cases, blocking should be based on the bigger problem, in this case possibly using Wikipedia for promotional purposes. ~Amatulić (talk) 19:29, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
- That does seem like it's up for interpretation, right? It seems obvious that someone who's a fan is more prone to POV pushing than actual COI editing. Sort of a grey area I guess. I'm not sure if you got a chance to check their history but they were creating an article that was deleted under G11. Their intent was to come to WP and create a promotional article for a client of RVS Entertainment. I probably should have clarified that in the notice. OlYellerTalktome 22:55, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
- My 2 cents: This person is an intern, presumably working for the company responsible for promoting said client (RVS). I worked for a company a few years ago that gave out an assignment to one of my co-workers to write/edit the Wikipedia article for the company (no, I'm not naming the company, as I don't care to associate any of my online personas with my specific employers) -- at the time I did not know this was against the rules and had I been given the assignment I might have done so. It could be that they are merely following orders without knowing better. For the above example to be valid, you'd have to change "fan" to "intern" or "employee" -- not that I think there are any Led Zeppelin interns, but I think it's different to have a fan of X editing articles about X rather than an employee of Company Y editing articles about Customer of Company Y. Tckma (talk) 16:38, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
- I don't think this is a grey/gray area at all - to my mind it's a clear violation, and the user is clearly spamming for the company's clients. It is very different from the "Led Zeppelin fan" example. – ukexpat (talk) 17:13, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
- The behavior is certainly blockable. The username is the gray area, as I explained in my rationale. Don't confuse blockable behavior with the username policy. There may be a relationship between a username and the editor's behavior, but the username alone isn't the bigger problem. As I also said, this is the sort of thing that should really be clarified at the village pump. ~Amatulić (talk) 23:19, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
- I made it perfectly obvious that I am not confusing the name with the behaviour. To repeat, the name is a clear violation, as "RVS Employee" would be - WP:CORPNAME. – ukexpat (talk) 02:06, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
- It certainly seems like a clear violation to me. An intern is a paid employee of a company. I agree with Ukexpat that it might as well be "RVSEmployee". In the end, I don't care a whole lot but a block seems warranted. They haven't edited since the article's deletion and issued warning so perhaps they've moved on.
