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. 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.

User-reported

• Insaf Feedback PTI (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a misleading username. Perhaps it's being misinterpreted as related to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf. — Saqib (talk I contribs) 21:25, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

  Comment: Not sure I get why it is misleading, but given you have initiated a discussion with the user they will likely respond or change their username. Malinaccier (talk) 23:44, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

  This is a promotional username; see [1] where they state This is the official account of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf. It seems unlikely from this comment that the account is in the process of changing its username, plus Wikipedia should not have "official accounts" for organizations anyways. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 01:27, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

  Being discussed with the user. The user is engaging in discussion. 331dot (talk) 10:49, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

• AussieFoodReview (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a promotional username. See user:AussieFoodReview/sandbox. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 07:54, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

Keep monitoring the user, until their username is more clear.. There's an online reviewer called Aussie Food Reviews but it's not yet clear this account is representing that web page. Their sandbox rewrite of AussieMite was appropriately deleted; let's see what they do next. -- Euryalus (talk) 09:37, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

• TheCanadianLadYT (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a promotional username. Promotes a YouTube channel. AntiDionysius (talk) 21:42, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

Wait until the user edits. Euryalus (talk) 22:50, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
