    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

    Not a blatant violation of the username policy. Please discuss this with the user first, and consider opening a community discussion at Requests for comment/User names if they disagree with your concerns. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 01:53, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • MarotiKorwate (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a promotional username. Evident from User:MarotiKorwate and MK News Line. In the article Kantu Kotnake and Maroti Korwate are mentioned as editors. ~Amkgp 07:44, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Not a blatant violation of the username policy. Consider filing a report at the conflict of interest noticeboard. creffett (talk) 12:27, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Not a blatant violation of the username policy. Appears to be the user's name, they have made no edits to suggest that they are the Jack Ma we have an article on. creffett (talk) 20:55, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    @Creffett: should we put a statement on their user's page following WP:REALNAME ? Terfteam (talk) 22:30, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Terfteam, I see no reason to. Now that we're done with that, I will be softblocking you because your username suggests that your account is shared (I'm surprised a user with such a deep knowledge of the username policy didn't know that). creffett (talk) 00:39, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Creffett we can imagine a link towards Jack Ma on top of the user’s page, per courtesy for a lost reader. Terfmeat (talk) 10:23, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Terfmeat, your entire purpose both here and on the French Wikipedia seems to be to get this user to change their username (which suggests that you're only on the English Wikipedia to force their username change), and this user hardly edits on the English Wikipedia. It is unlikely that somebody is going to go to a userpage when they're looking for an article. I have no idea why you're targeting this particular user, but I'm not interested in supporting it. Declined. creffett (talk) 12:41, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    So allowing persons to create a username with something similar to "murdering" isn't disruptive? interesting. Jerm (talk) 23:28, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    The name Killian exists.Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 00:47, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Not a blatant violation of the username policy, but it's worth keeping an eye on their edits. They've only edited their user page; while 'dick' is slang for the male anatomy, 'Dick' is short for Richard. Would need to see their edits. 331dot (talk) 09:30, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
