Usernames for administrator attention

Shortcut

• WP:UAA

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.

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.

  Not a violation of the username policy., maybe we could recalibrate this filter to not fire on the string shishito? _signed, Rosguill ^talk 21:34, 27 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User-reported

• Deh10019 (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a disruptive username. Claims to be, has edited, and likely is David Henderson (American journalist). Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:29, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  @Pigsonthewing Maybe I'm missing something, but how is the username itself disruptive? There may be an issue to report to the COI noticeboard here, but I don't see a blatantly disruptive username. --Ahecht (TALK

  There isn't a specific category for "usernames of article subjects"; that's the one I usually use as the closest fit.

  If you think there's another category which is a better fit, please feel free to read it as that.

  Either way, it's standard practice for us to soft-block users who purport to be article subjects, even those who comply with the COI policy, until they contact VRT to establish their identity as fact. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:13, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
