Usernames for administrator attention

Shortcut

WP:UAA

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.

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.
Real names are permitted, except when the editor implies they are someone other than themselves, such as impersonating a notable living person.
Promotional names require evidence to be blocked. Do not report a username merely because it "appears" promotional.
For libellous usernames or usernames that contain another editor's nonpublic personal information, please contact an oversighter and do not report it here.
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.
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.
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.

This page was last updated at 10:55 on 16 December 2024 (UTC). Purge the cache of this page if it is out of date.

This page has an administrative backlog that requires the attention of willing administrators.
Please replace this notice with {{no admin backlog}} when the backlog is cleared.

Note: Patrollers are kindly asked to monitor usernames listed at Filter 102, Filter 149, Filter 188, Filter 354 ^(tags), WP:UAA/HP, and CAT:UAA.

Not a blatant violation of the username policy. Consider filing a report at the conflict of interest noticeboard. this appears to be the name they blog under, not the name of an actual organization of any kind, but of course they are not considered a reliable source. Beeblebrox (talk) 22:00, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fairplex1 (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a promotional username.

Comment: Hard call here because I can't find any connection in the edits, or in a search (And is it just me, or was this reported a couple of days ago, too)? Daniel Case (talk) 19:10, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Greenday25 (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a promotional username. Name of band Greenday. Grammarxxx ^{(What'd I do this time?)} 03:31, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: What if this is a Greenday fan who's 25 years old ? User has not (as far as I see) edited the Green day article. Mlpearc (powwow) 17:03, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: my money says Not a blatant violation but let's see what an Admin says. MIVP - (Can I Help? ◕‿◕) (Maybe a bit of tea for thought?) 17:28, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Looks like a fan. Let them go for now; they're not editing articles in any way connected to the group. Daniel Case (talk) 19:13, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Panuwat.iapp (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a promotional username. Business: i-App Creation Co.. Grammarxxx ^{(What'd I do this time?)} 02:55, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I think this is another "Mark at Alcoa". Daniel Case (talk) 19:12, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Young American Teen Acting Awards (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a promotional username. Grammarxxx ^{(What'd I do this time?)} 02:45, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not a blatant violation of the username policy, but it's worth keeping an eye on their edits. Daniel Case (talk) 03:47, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Are you serious? I don't want to be rude but this username is obviously that on one of a company. And by looking at their edits it's obvious they're trying to promote. Grammarxxx ^{(What'd I do this time?)} 06:23, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Response: Yes, I am serious (And stop calling me Shirley). The user has made a grand total of ... one edit. They created an article about a teenage singer. I could not find any trace of the username in it, and it may well have been good faith. It was deleted; they have not recreated. I realize that they may not be done and may have some other agenda; however it is not apparent yet and, to me, this sort of username is not blockable on sight. Daniel Case (talk) 15:12, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
