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.

• Timhoward16 (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a misleading username. Several famous people named Tim Howard.... Hoops gza (talk) 00:01, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Not a blatant violation of the username policy. Since there are several, it's not a particularly uncommon name; this makes it more likely that it's the user's real name and less likely that he's impersonating one of them. Please rereport if he shows signs of claiming to be one of them in particular. Nyttend (talk) 01:11, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

• Mdweirath (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a misleading username. Seems likely that they are trying to impersonate Werieth. G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 18:30, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Not a blatant violation of the username policy. If this is an attempt to impersonate Werieth, it's a very poor job: they tacked two letters onto the start and made two spelling errors. I think that this is an innocent coincidence. Nyttend (talk) 21:22, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

• Nintendo (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a misleading username. This username implies affiliation with the actual company Nintendo (the game console maker).. Gparyani (talk) 18:06, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Not a blatant violation of the username policy. Hasn't edited anything to do with the company or its products and has been editing sporadically but without problem for six years now. If this was really a problem, it would have been brought here long ago. Daniel Case (talk) 18:12, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Content dispute. Consider dispute resolution. I think this was an attempt to follow the "Mark at Alcoa" rule. Daniel Case (talk) 18:03, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Not a blatant violation of the username policy. Consider filing a report at the conflict of interest noticeboard. If they keep at it. Name's not a close enough match. Daniel Case (talk) 18:06, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Not a blatant violation of the username policy. Consider filing a report at the conflict of interest noticeboard. Definitely promoting but I can't see a name connection. Daniel Case (talk) 18:13, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

@Daniel Case: They did try to do this. Not sure if that counts for anything. --Jakob (talk) 21:54, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Comment: The "bd" may indicate an individual per the "Mark at Alcoa" rule. Daniel Case (talk) 14:47, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
