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. 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.

• LPLCorporateCommunication (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) Violation of username policy because it appears to be a corporate account and is editing the LPL Financial article, even after COI notices.

• Ess-jay (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) — Violation of username policy because it's a misleading username; I thought about reporting this for a while, and left the uw-username template on their talk page. After reconsidering, I think this is misleading, but at the same time how do we know this isn't the retired Essjay returning?. Ks0stm ^(T•C•G) 15:15, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• For that matter, how do we know it's not someone named Steve Jones? Sj (talk · contribs) is taken and so is Essjay (talk · contribs) so...... Wknight94 ^talk 15:26, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Did Essjay (talk · contribs) speak Norwegian? Ess-jay (talk · contribs) has two edits to the Norwegian wikipedia. Maybe I'm treading too lightly, but I would hate to step on a retired contributor finally returning, should that be the case. Ks0stm ^(T•C•G) 15:35, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: User has filed for a change of username here. ^Avicenna_sis @ 09:14, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To capitalize the same username. Ks0stm ^(T•C•G) 09:16, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I assume the Bureaucrats and other staff will inform them of the username policy. ^Avicenna_sis @ 09:19, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, we can't assume that. The crats tend to do CHU stuff at CHU, and they are assuming we'll be doing UAA stuff at UAA. - Dank (push to talk) 15:39, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nihonjoe, a bureaucrat that also pops in here from time to time has responded to the CHU request. TNXMan 15:53, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
