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.

  This username matched "long username without spaces" on the blacklist. -- DQB (owner / report) 20:10, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

  Well, they misspelled pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, so there's that. I'd probably give them a pass on this one, since it's (almost) a real word, but if others want to make them change it, ok too. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 20:46, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

  This filter is designed to pick up other things, very long words are not the target here. Secretlondon (talk) 21:49, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

User-reported

• IPunchFascists (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as an offensive username. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 03:19, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

  Wait until the user edits. Euryalus (talk) 03:30, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

  It’s extremely common for people to advocate for violence against nazis and fascists. Punching them and killing them and wishing harm and death on them, and the like. 104.50.183.183 (talk) 00:13, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

• Skibidigooncave (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a disruptive username. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 05:01, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

  Being discussed with the user. Spicy (talk) 06:28, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

  Juvenile, memey names are not necessarily against the rules. It doesn't fill me with confidence that they are going to be a good editor, though. Secretlondon (talk) 19:58, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

  Agree about the "skibidi" part but "goon cave" (NSFW!) is inappropriate IMO. Spicy (talk) 20:43, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

  You mean extremely common memes that literally everyone repeats and follows no matter their age and you’re left out if you don’t no matter how frustrated you are by them, along with their repurposement of sexual terms? 104.50.183.183 (talk) 00:14, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

• 162 etc. (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – The username contains references to an IP address. This is evident to its user page. They are showing their own personal info (which is a huge no no). SpinnerLaserzthe2nd (talk) 16:17, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

  Being discussed with the user. They seem to be just saying that's the IP they previously went by. If they want to disclose that, is there some harm in it? I'll drop by their talk page to point this out, and if they want that info gone, we can always just speedy the user page. (If I got the wrong end of this particular stick somehow, someone put me right!) -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:31, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

  I'd say "162 etc." is definitely not a violation of the username policy @DoubleGrazing, regardless of whether they want to publicly claim they were previously known as a specific IP address. Hey man im josh (talk) 20:14, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

  Users are allowed to disclose their IP address if they want to. It might be a concern if this were some clueless newbie but with nearly 40k edits, I'm sure they're aware of the implications. Changing it at this point would be pointless from a privacy perspective - it would still appear in thousands of signatures and replies. Spicy (talk) 21:01, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

• Getblacklisted (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a misleading username. MouseCursor (talk) 17:58, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
  • MouseCursor, it's not immediately evident to me why you consider this a misleading username; could you please clarify? Thanks. —  Salvio ^giuliano 18:54, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

    It says "Getblacklisted", they're probably asking to get their own username blacklisted or claim to "blacklist" random titles or whatever. MouseCursor (talk) 19:55, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

    But they don't seem to be currently. If they do, then we can look at it. Secretlondon (talk) 19:56, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

• BUYALLUS (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Promotional username. Hijacked Jacques Cohen article to promote service. Username may also imply shared use. VolatileAnomaly (talk) 00:57, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
