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. Volunteers and 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 148 and 149; private filters 54, 102, 354, 499, 579; and this recent changes filter tag.

• FungusAmongUs420 (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a disruptive username. "Among Us" vandalism. Taking Out The Trash (talk) 23:04, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

  Not a blatant violation of the username policy. The edits also seem to be in good faith, for instance I don't see a problem with linking to his brother's wikipedia article. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 23:26, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

  @78.26: Are you sure? In addition to the "Among Us" meme, there's also the blatant reference to weed that I somehow missed earlier. With the two combined, the username is definitely disruptive IMO. Taking Out The Trash (talk) 02:25, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

  Taking Out The Trash thanks for checking back! The "Fungus Amongus" saying predates the "Among Us" meme. The 420 is definitely a marijuana reference, but as this is a legal substance in many places, including the United States, I think it means you should look for problematic editing, but is not an automatic disqualifier. The edits I looked at seemed to be an attempt to be constructive. I'd invite another administrator to look at this, and if I missed the boat on this one, perhaps I can get some trout. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 02:32, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

  Not a blatant violation of the username policy. Please discuss this with the user first, and consider opening a community discussion at RFCN if they disagree with your concerns. I agree with 78.26 here. Weed is not per se problematic and nor is the rest of the username, especially if the user is trying to edit constructively. We shouldn't treat such cases with block but instead discuss concerns with them. Regards SoWhy 09:21, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
