    Usernames for administrator attention
    Shortcuts

    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.

    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. Daniel Case (talk) 02:01, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    Will do, Thanks Daniel :) →Davey2010→→Talk to me!→ 02:05, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    Being discussed with the user, since they have edited constructively. LadyofShalott 00:57, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    Not a blatant violation of the username policy. Consider filing a report at the conflict of interest noticeboard. If they recreate. Name isn't a close enough match to subject of promotion. Daniel Case (talk) 02:07, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    Stale: This account has not been used in the last 2–3 weeks. In fact, it hasn't been used in three years. It may be misledaing, but not as misleading as the date, apparently. Daniel Case (talk) 02:12, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    Not a blatant violation of the username policy. Consider filing a report at the conflict of interest noticeboard. Only if this kid recreates. I don't consider "X records" usernames, as frequently as we do block them, to be block-on-sight as they don't necessarily imply shared use. Daniel Case (talk) 02:13, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    Note: See discussion on user talk page. May not be what it seems. Daniel Case (talk) 05:17, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • Seems pretty generic, I poked around a bit, and while there are plenty of organizations they could be associated with, there is no obvious nexus with any one. Unless they establish that nexus through their editing, I'd say its not promotional. Monty845 04:08, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    (Non-administrator comment) I found something like that. Go to www.littleleaguefootball.com and you'll see what I mean. StormContent 22:10, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    Wait until the user edits. nice story, but ... Daniel Case (talk) 02:14, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
