    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.

    User-reported

    (edit conflict) Not a blatant violation of the username policy. Only account names that end with "bot" and no letters between the word "bot". KGirlTrucker87 talk what I'm been doing 21:21, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Regarding this user, please see this conversation on my user talk page. --Finngall talk 22:54, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Not a blatant violation of the username policy. I don't see how this is offensive or disruptive. This user has been editing constructively for a year without this being a problem. -- Ed (Edgar181) 23:30, 7 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment: (Non-administrator comment) Assuming good faith, this might just be a reference to cigarettes. Still likely worth discussing with the user, though, since it's not a common usage and the name is more likely to be taken offensively. clpo13(talk) 15:44, 7 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    It's actually very common usage in the UK, which is where this editor appears to be from judging by their edits. As a derogatory term for a homosexual person, that's largely US usage. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 12:41, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    It has references about the person is a researcher. KGirlTrucker87 talk what I'm been doing 13:18, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    What's wrong with a reference to being a researcher? How would that be promotional? -- Ed (Edgar181) 18:36, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    The name sounds like an organization and likely is. Music1201 talk 19:05, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    There is no evidence in this user's editing that the username matches the name of any organization. (And it doesn't sound like one to me.) -- Ed (Edgar181) 18:36, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
