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.

User-reported

• GolfOntario (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Promo name. Promo edits.. GMG^talk 19:51, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

• Note: User is in the categories: User talk pages with conflict of interest notices, Wikipedia usernames with possible policy issues. HBC AIV helperbot5 (talk) 19:53, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Being discussed with the user. It’s a very blatant vio but another user has opted for discussion already. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:39, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

• Made In WWF (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Promotional only account, view user page. QuickWittedHare (talk) 22:05, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Not a blatant violation of the username policy. Looks like they are drafting an article about wrestling to me. Beeblebrox (talk) 22:50, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

• HaroldWTC (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Potentially disruptive/offensive username, referencing controversial topics (September 11 attacks). QuickWittedHare (talk) 22:14, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Not a blatant violation of the username policy. "WTC" can stand for many many things, and it wouldn't necessarily be a blatant violation if it did stand for "World Trade Center". --Bongwarrior (talk) 22:18, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

• WikiUser896576 (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Potentially misleading name, as it contains Wiki. QuickWittedHare (talk) 22:28, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Not a blatant violation of the username policy. That’s not a rule.Beeblebrox (talk) 22:50, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

QuickWittedHare The rule is if the name contains "Wikipedia" and only in a way that suggests the user has some authority or official status, like "Wikipedia CEO" or "Official Wikipedia editor". 331dot (talk) 09:10, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

• Wiki reviewer22 (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a misleading username. Username gives the impression that the account has permissions which it does not have. Has created User:Wiki reviewer22/sandbox, developing an article for an Australian actor.. Scottyoak2 (talk) 05:31, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Not a blatant violation of the username policy, but it's worth keeping an eye on their edits. We are all "Wiki reviewers". They may be editing promotionally, though. 331dot (talk) 09:18, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

• HarshitDMX (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as an offensive username. Maybe a sock of the Fuerdai vandal?. 💵Money💵emoji💵^Talk 15:46, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

• Cvisiontechnologies (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Promotional username and promotional edits. . –Ammarpad (talk) 16:16, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
