    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.

    User-reported

    Not a blatant violation of the username policy. Unless we have UserBots1–2474. Daniel Case (talk) 12:01, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    Not a blatant violation of the username policy. Consider filing a report at the conflict of interest noticeboard. Definitely editing to promote but this comes under "Mark at Alcoa." Daniel Case (talk) 12:02, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • Senseltd (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) and Wikikl (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) Senseltd was blocked as a username block and renamed to Wikikl but the block followed to the new name. I assume the editor was frustrated because he began editing under the name Senseltd again. This has created a mess that is not the editor's fault. Separate from this, the editor has been warned about recent edits, but that is not what this is about. Recommended action: Rename Wikikl to "Wikikl-usurped" and block the account. Rename Senseltd to Wikikl and ensure that Wikikl is not blocked (if necessary though, give him a "final warning"). Re-create the account Senseltd and block it. Alternatively, just switch the blocks so Wikikl can edit and Senseltd can't and copy the edit warnings from Senseltd's talk page to Wikikl's talk page to make sure they are seen. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 19:59, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment: Um, OK. Maybe you want to take this to WP:AN? It's a little more complicated than what we usually deal with. Daniel Case (talk) 12:05, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Being discussed with the user. Alexf(talk) 13:55, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment: Says "user" (singular). I'm inclined to allow it. User given a COI warning. Alexf(talk) 11:52, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    Not a blatant violation of the username policy. What's offensive about it? That it uses the word "gay"? Daniel Case (talk) 12:39, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    My (uninvolved) opinion is that it is mocking gays, 'Ha Gay' (although see also this). Thanks, Matty.007 18:17, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    (Non-administrator comment) It also appears to be a given name and a surname in other languages. EvergreenFir (talk) 22:13, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    It's too ambiguous to merit any sort of action at this point, especially considering the editor has not performed any actions or made any edits. Tyrol5 [Talk] 01:37, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
