    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.

    User-reported

    Keep monitoring the user, until their username is more clear. I don't doubt you're right on this one, but so far the account is just playing in the sandbox, doing non-promotional edits. Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 14:41, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Wait until the user edits. Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 14:02, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Keep monitoring the user, until their username is more clear. (@Katieh5584) The only edit so far seems to be an attempt to display a 2006 copy of the mainpage instead of the regular mainpage for that account. For now there is no indication that the user is promotional or spamming. Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 13:02, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Being discussed with the user.. (@Ruby Murray) Another user started a discussion regarding the username, probably a good idea to wait for the results instead of straight-out blocking. Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 10:18, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Not a blatant violation of the username policy, but it's worth keeping an eye on their edits.User has taken an article we already have and copied it into userspace. No evidence of a conflict or connection (and I looked). See how this develops. Daniel Case (talk) 14:18, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Stale: This account has not been used in the last 2–3 weeks. Daniel Case (talk) 14:20, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Not a blatant violation of the username policy, but it's worth keeping an eye on their edits. Can't see a connection yet. Daniel Case (talk) 14:23, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
