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 05:54 on 6 November 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 if it is out of date.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.

• KeralaFloodRehabilitation (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a username that implies shared use. General Ization ^Talk 12:53, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

Comment: General Ization Is this a specific organization or agency? I couldn't find one in a search. 331dot (talk) 20:11, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

Very good question. I'm not sure whether it is a real relief organization, is trying to pose as one, or is just referring to a topic of interest to an individual editor. If it is either the first or (especially) the second, the name does not meet policy. It didn't "feel" right to me; I figured I'd leave the final call to you.

Comment: Biografer I'm not clear on what is being promoted. I didn't examine every edit, but the ones I looked at didn't seem problematic. If you know of a specific edit, please indicate it. If this is the user's name, it is not a violation. 331dot (talk) 20:05, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

@331dot: Well, her problematic edit was the one that I reverted (she removed a reference for an unknown to me reason). As for her username, why is she editing Miss Universe 2018 article? It might be possible COI, although vague. Maybe I should post it to COI section of A/NI, if so, my apologies. :)--Biografer (talk) 20:31, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

The edit may be problematic, but I don't see an issue with the name. If it is the user's name, it is not a violation even if they were a competitor in the pageant, though it would be a COI issue that should be reported to WP:COIN. 331dot (talk) 20:40, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

OK, will report it there then.--Biografer (talk) 20:51, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

• Editor General of Wiki (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a misleading username. Username suggests that they have some official authority or status on Wikipedia.. SoundwavTheOG (talk) 19:07, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

• Note: User is in the category: Wikipedia usernames with possible policy issues. HBC AIV helperbot5 (talk) 19:07, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

Comment: I'm not sure this is enough of a problem to warrant an immediate block. Would people really think Wikipedia has an "Editor General"? 331dot (talk) 19:17, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

I think it's potentially confusing, but since the editor has been here for months without it being an issue until now, it doesn't warrant an immediate block. WP:RFCUN is the appropriate venue I think. -- Ed (Edgar181) 19:27, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

• It could be a username violation if "Carlsbad Historical" is the name of an organization, but that's not entirely evident. The edits are also consistent with someone just interested in the history of Carlsbad, California. -- Ed (Edgar181) 22:56, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
