Flyer for the Broadway production
Night of January 16th is a play by Ayn Rand inspired by the death of Ivar Kreuger, an industrialist and accused swindler known as the Match King. The play is set in a courtroom during a murder trial and audience members are chosen to play the jury. The court hears the case of Karen Andre, a former secretary and lover of businessman Bjorn Faulkner, of whose murder she is accused. The jury must rely on character testimony to decide whether Andre is guilty; the play's ending depends on their verdict. Rand wanted to dramatize a conflict between individualism and conformity. The play was first produced in 1934 in Los Angeles under the title Woman on Trial. Producer A. H. Woods took it to Broadway for the 1935–36 season and re-titled it Night of January 16th(flyer pictured). It became a hit and ran for seven months. The play has been adapted as a film, as well as for television and radio. Rand had many disputes with Woods over the play, and in 1968 re-edited it for publication as her "definitive" version.

Being discussed with the user. Certainly looks like an orgname but there is no obvious reference to such an organization in their edits. BeeblebroxBeebletalks 19:20, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
First reference in the sandbox article states that the artist's manager is "Sierra Management", so we have paid editing and COI. — rsjaffe🗣️ 20:21, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
Well that's annoying, I did a text search of the page for "sierra" and it somehow did not catch that. BeeblebroxBeebletalks 21:33, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
Ah, I didn't actually go and read the refs, normally we look for on-wiki links between the name and the subject, but clearly the off-wiki evidence is pretty compelling here. BeeblebroxBeebletalks 21:40, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
Not a violation of the username policy. Real 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. Looks like a real name to me. Making promotional edits does not retroactively create a username violation.

I also see that you opted to discuss the username with them three minutes before you reported them here. You should either discuss or report, not both. BeeblebroxBeebletalks 19:24, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
Being discussed with the user. As they've not spammed outside of user space. Warned for COI as well. BeeblebroxBeebletalks 21:43, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
