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.

User-reported

• Knowledge_&_Information (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) — Violation of username policy because it's a misleading username; Username may convey undue authority.. DougsTech (talk) 04:29, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

  Note: Name doesn't necessarily imply authority, contributions have not taken an authoritative stance. Wronkiew (talk) 04:57, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

• DrewCareyLikesWine (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) — Violation of username policy because it's a misleading username; §hawnhath 03:26, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
• 8312339759ben (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) — Violation of username policy because it's a disruptive username; Phone number in username.. §hawnhath 03:25, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

• It's hard to tell if this is really a phone number, of just a random string of numbers. –Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 03:57, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

• Paladinphotography (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) — Violation of username policy because it's a promotional username; §hawnhath 03:23, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

• Wait until the user edits. –Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 03:25, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

• Rampid (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) User name is a violation of policy as a promotional name -- the account name mirrors the same-named spam article Rampid interactive. Pastor Theo (talk) 23:38, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

• Note: user indicated here that they're not trying to promite their business. WP:COIN would probably be more appropriate. –Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 02:20, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

• Omar Zayan (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) Only article has been about self. Suggest watching the user instead of directly banning, as this simply seems to be a case of WP:COI Cheers. I'^mperator 21:19, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

In that case, it's probably better to report this at the conflict of interest noticeboard. TNXMan 22:00, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

• Penishead I think this username is inappropriate, the word "penis" should not be used is usernames, and should be notified for getting blocked indefinitely. Petunia465 (talk) 05:24, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
