    Usernames for administrator attention Shortcut

    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. This page was last updated at 10:38 on 28 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 Purge the cache of this page if it is out of date.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 , WP:UAA/HP, and CAT:UAA.


    Bot-reported

    User-reported

    Not a blatant violation of the username policy. Consider filing a report at the conflict of interest noticeboard. Not close enough to subject being edited to justify a name block IMO. Daniel Case (talk) 21:25, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

    Wait until the user edits. Daniel Case (talk) 21:14, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
    Comment: They might be self-identifying this way. Perhaps you should discuss this with them first? Daniel Case (talk) 21:20, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
    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. I've left a level 3 promotion warning as well. Danger 17:29, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
    "Observer" doesn't imply any role with the organisation. --Closedmouth (talk) 13:38, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
