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

• 1,250,261,161a (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a misleading username. "Usernames that resemble IP addresses (as these are expected to designate non-logged-in users), timestamps, or other names which would be confusing within the Wikipedia signature format."

  Not a blatant violation of the username policy. If there had been colons instead of commas, I might look at this differently. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 17:37, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

  @Rsjaffe: Yeah, I thought about it too, but the 'human' editors are likely to still mistake, so we could've suggested them to change then name, can't we? ExclusiveEditor _{Notify Me!} 17:47, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

  Not with an a at the end. Secretlondon (talk) 17:48, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

  I'd say this is a good candidate for "try discussing it with them and move to WP:RFCU if that doesn't go anywhere. This is arguably intended to confuse. Just Step Sideways ^{from this world ..... today} 00:18, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

  TBH I'm torn on this one. Commas instead of periods, "a" at the end, and an invalid octet (261 > 255). However, not everyone knows exactly what constitutes a valid IP address, so I agree that it could be confusing. --Chris | Crazycomputers (talk) 03:47, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

• RacismLove (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as offensive WP:ATTACKNAME. The account hasn't edited articles since May 10 2023 but still giving attention because racism is very bad and No one should be loving it.
