- KeralaFloodRehabilitation (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a username that implies shared use. General Ization Talk 12:53, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
Comment: General Ization Is this a specific organization or agency? I couldn't find one in a search. 331dot (talk) 20:11, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
- Very good question. I'm not sure whether it is a real relief organization, is trying to pose as one, or is just referring to a topic of interest to an individual editor. If it is either the first or (especially) the second, the name does not meet policy. It didn't "feel" right to me; I figured I'd leave the final call to you. General Ization Talk 20:14, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
- Honeydue ink rlfc (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a promotional username that implies shared use.--Biografer (talk) 18:18, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
Question: I don't see a connection between the username and the edits. Can you elaborate on your concerns? -- Ed (Edgar181) 15:38, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

- MissHarrietWhite (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a promotional username. See edit history.--Biografer (talk) 18:57, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
Comment: Biografer I'm not clear on what is being promoted. I didn't examine every edit, but the ones I looked at didn't seem problematic. If you know of a specific edit, please indicate it. If this is the user's name, it is not a violation. 331dot (talk) 20:05, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
- @331dot: Well, her problematic edit was the one that I reverted (she removed a reference for an unknown to me reason). As for her username, why is she editing Miss Universe 2018 article? It might be possible COI, although vague. Maybe I should post it to COI section of A/NI, if so, my apologies. :)--Biografer (talk) 20:31, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
- The edit may be problematic, but I don't see an issue with the name. If it is the user's name, it is not a violation even if they were a competitor in the pageant, though it would be a COI issue that should be reported to WP:COIN. 331dot (talk) 20:40, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
- OK, will report it there then.--Biografer (talk) 20:51, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

- Editor General of Wiki (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a misleading username. Username suggests that they have some official authority or status on Wikipedia.. SoundwavTheOG (talk) 19:07, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
- Note: User is in the category: Wikipedia usernames with possible policy issues. HBC AIV helperbot5 (talk) 19:07, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
Comment: I'm not sure this is enough of a problem to warrant an immediate block. Would people really think Wikipedia has an "Editor General"? 331dot (talk) 19:17, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
- I think it's potentially confusing, but since the editor has been here for months without it being an issue until now, it doesn't warrant an immediate block. WP:RFCUN is the appropriate venue I think. -- Ed (Edgar181) 19:27, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

- Carlsbad Historical (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a promotional username. Carl Tristan Orense (talk) 22:50, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
- It could be a username violation if "Carlsbad Historical" is the name of an organization, but that's not entirely evident. The edits are also consistent with someone just interested in the history of Carlsbad, California. -- Ed (Edgar181) 22:56, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
