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.

Not a violation of the username policy. Real names are permitted except when they imply that the editor is a specific living person they are not. Consider filing a report at the conflict of interest noticeboard. creffett (talk) 12:33, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

• GhostOfDanGurney (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) To say the least - this username is in poor taste as Dan_Gurney was actually a famous racer. They seem to be contributing constructively, but perhaps this should be done under a different username. Necromonger...Arbs were wrong, Resysop BHG! 11:40, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

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. Gurney has been deceased for over two years, so I'm not certain this name is disruptive to the point that it violates policy, but feel free to discuss it with the user. 331dot (talk) 08:38, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

• Wjrz nj forecast (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – WJRZ-FM is an actual radio station in New Jersey, so this would seem to be a promotional name, if not a role account. Their user page says "Follow the 2020 House Elections!!! And the Covid 19 shut downs." Beyond My Ken (talk) 17:18, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
