Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention

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.

You can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format.

Note: Patrollers may wish to monitor usernames flagged by filters 54, 148 and 149; private filters 102, 354, 499, 579; and this recent changes filter tag.

User-reported

• Maarshiil (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a promotional username. Spam edits (e.g., here) and promotional edit summaries about company of the same name. Felida⁹⁷ (talk) 09:06, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

  I've revdel'd the two edits with comment spam, and issued final warning. Their move, next. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:57, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

  @DoubleGrazing: Thanks! Isn't it still a username violation though (since the user name is the same as the name of the company they promoted/spammed)? Felida⁹⁷ (talk) 18:03, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

• WikiEditorHub (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a misleading username. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 21:07, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

  Being discussed with the user. It does imply they are a group, but it is unclear exactly what the group is or if it even exists, so I went with the discussion option. Beeblebrox ^Beebletalks 21:21, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

• Aliumhealth (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a promotional username. TornadoLGS (talk) 22:21, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

  Being discussed with the user. They seem like the typical "I totally misunderstand what WP is" new user as opposed to a malicious spammer, and they didn't touch any article content. Beeblebrox ^Beebletalks 22:36, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

  @Beeblebrox: They did, however, create a draft that is quite blatant advertising, but I will respect your judgement. TornadoLGS (talk) 22:43, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

  @TornadoLGS: I'm glad you mentioned that as I had meant to delete the draft, but got distracted by lunch. Some of us are trying a different approach, trying to notify users of these issues instead of no-warning blocks, provided they have not posted promotional content in actual articles.

  Being discussed with the user. I probably would have blocked this one as they edited in article space, but another use chose discussion. Beeblebrox ^Beebletalks 02:50, 24 January 2025 (UTC)
