    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.

    I don't see it as shared. Malinaccier (talk) 19:18, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    The user specifically states they didn't make the edits under that IP, but were reverting them. This leads to the conclusion that it's a shared IP (or two people in the same location using the same IP, which amounts to the same thing). ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 20:26, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • It could simply be a fan of the club. Discussing with the user might be a good tactic, but the user seems to have stopped editing&mash;so doing nothing until he edits again might be a better course. AGK 01:47, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
