Usernames for administrator attention

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.

User-reported

PathwaysMelbourne (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a promotional username. See the userpage. Johnj1995 (talk) 03:45, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Being discussed with the user. They reached out for help, so I'm trying it that way first. 331dot (talk) 06:29, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Senate Committee on Indian Affairs - Hannah (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a misleading username. Username claiming to a member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Indian Affairs. Likely either misleading, or a WP:ROLE account under WP:SOCK if true.

- Not a violation of the username policy. This type of name is specifically called out in the username policy as acceptable. See fourth bullet point under WP:ISU. It's worth keeping an eye on their edits for possible paid editing or conflict of interest editing, but the username itself is fine. --Hammersoft (talk) 18:02, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - Not a blatant violation of the username policy. It would only be a role account if it said something like "staffer" instead of "Hannah" which indicates a specific person. Senate committees do have staffers as well as members. Cullen328 (talk) 18:04, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
