    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.

    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)
