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.

VlaDICKsosatelhuyov1488 (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as an offensive username. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 14:04, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not a blatant violation of the username policy, but it's worth keeping an eye on their edits. I assume you're referring to the "DICK" part of their username? If so, let's wait as this could legitamely be their real name. If not, what am I missing? Jauerback^dude?/_dude. 14:07, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
1488 can be Nazi too. However they've not edited. Secretlondon (talk) 15:19, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That I didn't know. Jauerback^dude?/_dude. 15:25, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it's (or rather, can be) some sort of neo-Nazi thing. The user is already blocked on ru.wiki for their name; not that it matters here, of course, but just mentioning. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:31, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have for sure blocked before for use of fourteen words references. Just Step Sideways ^{from this world ..... today} 23:31, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's unlikely that anyone has 1488 in their username accidentally (unless it makes sense as an address or something). I think VlaDICK might be Vladimir and their first account was on ru, but they still haven't edited on en: and I doubt they will. I've no objection to anyone blocking them but it doesn't make much difference really. Secretlondon (talk) 23:55, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Quintana Galleries (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a promotional username. Engaged in promotion by adding external links (https://quintanagalleries.com/collections/greg-a-robinson). See Special:AbuseLog/39194187 for details. Agent 007 (talk) 19:14, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Being discussed with the user. Totally blockable though, feel free to re-report if they edit again. Just Step Sideways ^{from this world ..... today} 23:48, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
AHC-music (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a promotional and disruptive username. Claims to be Alex Van Halen's wife, COI editing. - FlightTime (open channel) 19:50, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not a blatant violation of the username policy, but it's worth keeping an eye on their edits. Agree re COI and disruption but not an obvious UAA. -- Euryalus (talk) 23:26, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ReaperBlitz (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 user page. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 07:30, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Being discussed with the user.. It's just barely conceivable that "Blitz" is a person's name and their username falls wthin the UAA exception of "John from Foo." I've left them a UPE warning for their now-deleted userpage, which was promotional and likely paid/COI. Let's see what happens next. -- Euryalus (talk) 07:45, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
FWIW this is also the direction I was leaning. --Chris | Crazycomputers (talk) 14:01, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Britishtalks.Isaacf (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a promotional username. Adding cites from https://britishtalks24.com. ☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 16:04, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We allow these as it's Isaacf from British talks. It's just COI/linkspam. Secretlondon (talk) 16:43, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To quote the username policy: However, usernames are acceptable if they contain a company or group name but are clearly intended to denote an individual person, such as Mark at WidgetFactory, Jack Smith at the XYZ Foundation, FacebookFanatic87, etc.— rsjaffe 🗣️ 17:13, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Y.a.r.o TnB (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a promotional username. Aims to make a user page specifically for the music artist that the username represents, as shown in the contribs. TheNerdzilla (talk) 18:47, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not a violation of the username policy. Stage names and pen names are permitted except when they imply that the editor is a specific living person they are not. Consider filing a report at the conflict of interest noticeboard.— rsjaffe 🗣️ 20:31, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
