*{{User|Ombudsman}}
*I have requested that he changes his name. He looks like a good contributor so I hope he won't mind. The point seems to be moot since the guy hasn't logged in for over a week. I personally don't see it as much as a problem (if I had, I would have done a {{tl|usernameblock}}), however given the sheer amount of comment this got, I thought it was best to politely ask the ombudsman to reconsider. This has been debated to death so let's drop the issue now. ]]] 11:30, August 24, 2005 (UTC)

Choice of username

If you believe someone has chosen an inappropriate username under Misplaced Pages's username policy, you may create a subpage here to discuss whether the user should be forced to change usernames. However, before listing the user here, please first contact the user on his or her talk page and give them an opportunity to change usernames voluntarily.

Tools  : Special:Listusers, Special:Ipblocklist

New listings here, please.

This user keeps adding a redirect of 음낭 to Kim Jong-il, who is currently the leader of North Korea. I cannot read Korean, so I can't confirm whether this is a good-faith edit or not, but assuming that it is, we shouldn't allow 음낭 as a username as it is the name of a well-known international statesman, jguk 22:52, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
That says something other than Kim Jong-il ("Um-nang", roughly), so the username itself isn't offensive, AFAIK. – ugen64 06:59, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

This would be the equivalent of redirecting chimpanzee to George W. Bush. As such, I'd suggest something be done about this guy; he seems to be a vandal. - 206.114.20.121 19:01, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
