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 13:52 on 28 October 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 if it is out of date.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), Filter 579, WP:UAA/HP, and CAT:UAA.

• Teri miko (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a misleading username. Linguist^unEins^uno 18:57, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

Note: Not sure I’ve ever run into this specific situation before. As of right now, this person does not have an actual WP article, just a draft. So, really it is just a name of some person, but if the draft were accepted then as far as WP is concerned they would then be notable and this name would need to be blocked... Not sure what the correct move would be here. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:54, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

• ActuallyJLaw (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) This is purportedly Jennifer Lawrence's account. In a video published on Youtube by GQ Magazine, Lawrence is seen editing her Wikipedia page with this account. Seems like a promotional account, given the intention to promote GQ via the video. She never did actually make the edits, although the account itself is listed in the Youtube video description.

• WestJet (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a promotional username. Long term sleeper account, came to my attention after a user left a talk page message – has alternated for many years between making normal edits to other articles and slipping in promotional edits and removing negative edits to articles related to WestJet group of airlines.[2][3][4][5][6][7] I would suggest a soft block on the username and advise to the editor to change the promotional username (I'll leave a note on COI and Paid Editing)..
