    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.

    1. 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.
    2. Real names are permitted, except when the editor implies they are someone other than themselves, such as impersonating a notable living person.
    3. Promotional names require evidence to be blocked. Do not report a username merely because it "appears" promotional.
    4. For libellous usernames or usernames that contain another editor's nonpublic personal information, please contact an oversighter and do not report it here.
    5. 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.
    6. 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.
    7. Patrollers are asked to remove reports that have been declined, are bot-reported false positives or are otherwise non-blatant or stale reports.

    • Not a blatant violation of the username policy. Long or confusing usernames, according to the username policy, "are not so inappropriate on their own as to require action." -- Ed (Edgar181) 14:38, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Being discussed with the user, since they have edited constructively. Furthermore, the username is not "misleading" unless the editor does not in fact have that real name. ⁓ Hello71 03:02, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Not a blatant violation of the username policy. It's a common variation of a popular song / nursery rhyme, Skip to My Lou. "Loo" in this case actually means love, not lavatory. WaggersTALK 10:55, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Not a blatant violation of the username policy. Not a blatant violation. If there are associated editing problems with this account, please ping me. I, JethroBT drop me a line 06:07, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Not a blatant violation of the username policy. The account has no edits, so there's no evidence they've attempted to imitate anyone. We allow people with IPs to make accounts using abbreviations of their IP address; this doesn't seem problematic to me. I, JethroBT drop me a line 06:07, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Stale: This account has not been used in the last 2–3 weeks. 5 years, actually. Vanjagenije (talk) 11:46, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Not a blatant violation of the username policy. Drmies (talk) 03:10, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Problem: This account does not exist or may be hidden. I, JethroBT drop me a line 03:08, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
