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.

This page was last updated at 23:05 on 19 July 2024 (UTC). if it is out of date.

Note: Patrollers are kindly asked to monitor usernames listed at Filter 102, Filter 148, Filter 149, Filter 354 ^(tags), WP:UAA/HP, and CAT:UAA.

Not a blatant violation of the username policy, but it's worth keeping an eye on their edits. The United States soccer league system isn't something that can be "promoted", per se. However, it appears that the user may be using their sandboxes in violation of WP:NOTWEBHOST - I cannot be sure, so somebody else should take a look at this. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 02:02, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

I'd say they look like legitimate drafts. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 14:40, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

• Not a blatant violation of the username policy. The username policy does not set a limit on how long usernames can be. -- Ed (Edgar181) 12:59, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

@Edgar181: See User talk:Smartguywhoknowsallandwillruleallandlovesblueandshopsatdavidjonesallthetime as an example of account block for long usernames.

There is nothing in the username policy that supports immediately blocking a user for having a long username. Policy says extremely lengthy usernames are "not so inappropriate on their own as to require action". -- Ed (Edgar181) 22:11, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
