     Usernames for administrator attention/Holding pen
    Shortcuts

    This page is for usernames that have been reported to WP:UAA but are deemed to not require immediate action either because discussion has been initiated on the user's talk page or the username is a borderline violation and the user is not actively editing. If a user listed has changed their username or has been blocked, please remove it from the list; if a user continues editing and ignores the concerns, an administrator may block the account after an appropriate length of time. If the user makes no further edits after being listed here, the username may be removed after 7 days with no further action and without prejudice to future relisting at WP:UAA. Please only bypass listing a user at WP:UAA if you have initiated a discussion with the user you are listing. Then place {{user-uaa|USERNAME}} reason the username is inappropriate. ~~~~ under the appropriate date. Administrators may remove any listing which is not against the username policy at any time.

    Wait until the user edits. TN‑X-Man 20:25, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Wait until the user edits. I know it's a slur, but someone could be advertising they're from Boston. Or have some other reason for picking this name. Daniel Case (talk) 18:24, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Matches the literal pattern stalker.
    Not sure what to make of this ... edit was probably a violation of WP:EL but not vandalism. Keep watching. Daniel Case (talk) 04:03, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    • This user has edited at least one time.
    • Matches the regular expression called Promotional? 2. The portion that matched was solutions.
    No apparent connection yet between edit and name. But this name makes me suspicious. Daniel Case (talk) 16:00, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Advertising your youtube channel on your userpage is generally accepted. It's when they spam other articles adding it that it's not.--Terrillja talk 02:58, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Being discussed with the user. Daniel Case (talk) 04:04, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Not a blatant violation of the username policy. Consider filing a report at the conflict of interest noticeboard. Edits from this account are indeed promotional, but do not yet directly implicate the name. Daniel Case (talk) 04:07, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • This user has edited at least one time.
    • Matches the regular expression called Promotional? 1. The portion that matched was Service.
    No evidence yet of promotional use connected to name. Daniel Case (talk) 03:41, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • This user has edited at least one time.

    No contributions. Having a username that is the name of an organisation is not a breach of username policy. Using it to promote that organisation is, but with no edits, deleted or otherwise, we must assume good faith until they start editing.GbT/c 21:10, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Wait until the user edits., applying the same logic applied to my report below. --Tckma (talk) 22:02, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Note: Even though the name raises eyebrows, the user's first (and so far, only) edit has been in good faith. TN‑X-Man 21:36, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    It's not a username violation and it's good that they're disclosing their COI, but it sure does look like a role account. ("Looking like a role account" is not a block-worthy offense, BTW.) I've left a note on their talk page explaining the role account problem, and asking them to change their username to indicate that one person is taking responsibility for the edits. rspεεr (talk) 08:48, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Being discussed with the user., since he seems to be trying to be constructive. Daniel Case (talk) 03:46, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • This user has edited at least one time.
    • Matches the literal pattern turd.
    Note: As long as this user doesn't edit again, I'm inclined to let this go as I don't consider the negative information it removed to have come from a reliable source. Daniel Case (talk) 15:54, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Not a blatant violation of the username policy. I'm not really sure about this one. He seems to be a fan, and I prefer we give him the benefit of the doubt and let him go his merry way. Daniel Case (talk) 16:03, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    I might be wrong, but if what he claims in his user page is true, the guy is being entirely ironic, and is a Russian Jew himself. Should ask an investigate.--Cerejota (talk) 05:48, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Not a blatant violation of the username policy, but it's worth keeping an eye on their edits. Last edits were in October. Daniel Case (talk) 16:07, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    How is anyone to know if the "Jewish Star of Jealousy" is meant to be ironic? It certainly appears offensive and for that reason that user name should be deleted or changed as to not be offensive. SMP0328. (talk) 20:07, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Googling suggests that it's also the name of an Indian snack food, so there's at least one non-offensive interpretation. -- The Anome (talk) 23:30, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Hm, seemed like a blatant attempt to get around the bots to me, but maybe not. Either way, it could be interpreted as such, but that isn't something which is actionable. I'd say wait for edits. — neuro(talk) 00:05, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Or consider asking the user to change his/her username. Ceran→//forge 01:17, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, there's no harm in waiting. — neuro(talk) 01:57, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Sounds like someone applying Russian rules of diminutive formation to an English word we all know. Daniel Case (talk) 03:48, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
