 Usernames for administrator attention

Important! Please remember the following:

  1. This page is for usernames that are such blatant and serious problems that they need to be immediately blocked.
  2. Reports are assessed according to the username policy and the UAA instructions. Please read those pages first.
  3. Please discuss less-serious violations with the user so that they can rename or abandon their account in good faith.
  4. If, after discussion with a user, the problem still seems unresolved, a username request for comment may be in order.
  5. Please do not leave a username warning template on a user's talk page and then immediately report them here. Either discuss it with the user, or report it for admin action, but don't do both at the same time.
  6. Real names are permitted except when they imply that the editor is a specific living person they are not.
  7. Do not report a username unless it has been used in the last 2-3 weeks. Older accounts are likely abandoned and reports of such users will be summarily declined.

Bot-reported[edit]

User has edited promotionally. Now deleted user page is only edits, standard vanity article in user name space deal. Unclear that constructive unassociated edits will continue, likely to go stale. KaisaL (talk) 23:57, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
User has edited promotionally. However the topic was a model, but special effects. Likely to be a spam account or probably a stale but this can only be predicted at this stage. KaisaL (talk) 01:01, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
False positive: Username is not a blatant violation of the username policy. KaisaL (talk) 02:52, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
False positive: Username is not a blatant violation of the username policy. No real link to the flag. KaisaL (talk) 02:50, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

    Matched: Used 1 instead of i attempting to skip filter: nazi. Violating string: speznazi23 -- DQB (owner / report) 06:03, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
     Clerk note: Usernames that promote a controversial or potentially inflammatory point of view may be in violation of the username policy due to creating a hostile editing environment- but some real names contain the string "nazi" - especially names from the Middle East - be careful that this is not the case before blocking. -- DQB (owner / report) 06:03, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Not a blatant violation of the username policy. Consider filing a report at the conflict of interest noticeboard. This is close to stale anyway, but an admin has reviewed on their talk page and decided not to block. Happy to go with their decision. KaisaL (talk) 01:55, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Not a blatant violation of the username policy. Nothing promotional here. Vanjagenije (talk) 00:21, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
Keep monitoring the user, until their username is more clear. As of right now I see no issue but acknowledge it could be used for this purpose. KaisaL (talk) 00:24, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
Not a blatant violation of the username policy.. I've deleted and salted Roundme, but the username is individualized in just the way we ask people to do when they start out with company names, so it's ok. Bishonen | talk 22:50, 24 June 2016 (UTC).
Not a blatant violation of the username policy. Not a problematic name on its own and they blanked their vanity article. KaisaL (talk) 02:04, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Pictogram voting question-blue.svg Question: How is it offensive? I'm presuming it refers to Homo Erectus, rather than erections. Bishonen | talk 22:07, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
Originally called "Pithecanthropus erectus", the erect monkey. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇 22:34, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
I assumed it was a reference to erections. I'd never heard of the term "erect monkey" before. Linguist 111talk 11:59, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
Not a blatant violation of the username policy. Looks pretty harmless to me. "Wicked" is a word that can be used affectionately of a mischievous child. (UK usage, I think.) Bishonen | talk 12:29, 26 June 2016 (UTC)

Comment: I have been informed that only FakeWikiP and FakeWikiPMoe flag up as connected accounts, no additionals under a ban. KaisaL (talk) 01:51, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Not a blatant violation of the username policy, but it's worth keeping an eye on their edits. They are a musician called Ty, but their only user page edits they then quickly blanked, so could be tests. Doesn't imply shared use per the report and not overly promotional so I feel this can stay. KaisaL (talk) 01:57, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
Keep monitoring the user, until their username is more clear. Don't believe this user is a representative of the chewing gum brand nor that they intend to promote it. KaisaL (talk) 02:02, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Not a blatant violation of the username policy, but it's worth keeping an eye on their edits. Nothing to suggest this is a promotional username or that it implies shared use. First edit was now-deleted patent nonsense however. KaisaL (talk) 02:01, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
User has requested a username change. kelapstick(bainuu) 00:27, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
Not a blatant violation of the username policy, but it's worth keeping an eye on their edits. There's nothing offensive in this name, but keep an eye in case their edits are homophobic or disruptive. KaisaL (talk) 23:04, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
@KaisaL: Okay, thanks very much. HeatIsCool 02:33, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
Being discussed with the user. Will leave a message to explain the problem, their only edit is to user name space and they look constructive. KaisaL (talk) 23:11, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
