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:

Do NOT post here if:

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)
