This page is for bringing attention to usernames which may be in violation of Misplaced Pages's username policy. Before listing a username here, consider if it should be more appropriately reported elsewhere, or if it needs to be reported at all:

• Report blatantly inappropriate usernames, such as usernames that are obscene or inflammatory, to Misplaced Pages:Usernames for administrator attention.
• For other cases involving vandalism, personal attacks or other urgent issues, try Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents; blatant vandalism can also be reported at Misplaced Pages:Administrator intervention against vandalism, which is sometimes a better option.

Do NOT post here if:

• the user in question has made no recent edits.
• you wish to have the block of a user reviewed. Instead, discuss the block with the blocking administrator (see also Misplaced Pages:Blocking policy § Unblocking).

Before adding a name here you MUST ensure that the user in question:

• has been warned about their username (with e.g. {{subst:uw-username}}) and has been allowed time to address the concern on their user talk page.
• has disagreed with the concern, refused to change their username and/or continued to edit without replying to the warning.
• is not already blocked.

If, after having followed all the steps above, you still believe the username violates Misplaced Pages's username policy, you may list it here with an explanation of which part of the username policy you think has been violated. After posting, please alert the user of the discussion (with e.g. {{subst:UsernameDiscussion}}). You may also invite others who have expressed concern about the username to comment on the discussion by use of this template.

Add new requests below, using the syntax {{subst:rfcn1|username|2=reason ~~~~}}.

Account created a few days before the new rule on Misplaced Pages terms in usernames was created. However, I still think it should be disallowed, given the statements on the user page. RJASE1 18:57, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

• Allow username. not even against current policy. Disallow the user trolling(if that is what is going on, I am not sure), but then that is a discussion for another board. _InBC 19:11, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - the policy I am thinking of is:
    

"Prohibited username components include, but are not limited to words resembling the following:"

"Usernames that contain the word Misplaced Pages..."

But maybe I'm nitpicking... RJASE1 19:17, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

• Well if it was made after the rule I may agree, not sure, but it was made before the rule. _InBC 19:19, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
