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. Volunteers and patrollers are asked to remove reports that have been declined, are bot-reported false positives or are otherwise non-blatant or stale reports.

    information Note on file The word troll may imply an intent to disrupt Wikipedia - but that is not certain. Please use discretion to determine if this is a violation or not. -- DQB (owner / report) 11:30, 11 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • I would recommend waiting for the user to make more edits first before we can accurately judge the username. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 02:37, 14 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • @Johnny Au: yeah agree with that. I'm guessing this account is named after the WoW character rather than an internet troll. :) -- Euryalus (talk) 07:36, 14 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Wikimanagerhelper (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a misleading username. Eyesnore 00:12, 14 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Not a blatant violation of the username policy. @Eyesnore: Feel free to discuss with the user and, if unable to reach a resolution, to take it to WP:RFC/N. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 02:03, 14 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Being discussed with the user. And at the RfC board.-- Deepfriedokra (talk) 08:00, 14 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Santana Montana (artistry) (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Parenthetical disambiguator in name coupled with self-promotion on userpage clearly suggests they only intend to create a userpage that appears to be an article and are otherwise WP:NOTHERE.

    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. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 08:02, 14 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • JoyIto405 (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a misleading username. It has proved impossible to determine whether and how this is a shared account. But all indications suggest that to be the case. There is most certainly COI. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 05:56, 14 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

    Comment: Looks like she's looking for a "third party writer" -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 08:05, 14 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    And that comment from 2022 makes it sound like he's writing an autobiography. Secretlondon (talk) 21:02, 14 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Lean Harvey Oswald (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as an offensive username. This username is refeering to a killer that has killed a President during the 1960s. It is not okay to copy his username onto Wikipedia, or any other deceased persons name. I'd like it removed or changed to a respectful one. TheAlienMan2002 (talk) 15:18, 14 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Not a blatant violation of the username policy. It's a play on words that some might find distasteful, but since there is no impersonation concern, it does not create an issue so urgent as to require a no-warning block. Feel free to discuss with the user on their talk and, if (and only if) unable to reach a resolution, to take it to WP:RfC/N. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 21:13, 14 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
