If you believe someone has chosen an inappropriate username under Misplaced Pages's username policy, you may list it here. 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.

Names that are offensive, inflammatory, impersonating an existing user, or asserting inappropriate authority will generally be permanently blocked by visiting admins. If a matter turns out to be controversial, a subpage may be created here to discuss it.

Tools  : Special:Listusers, Special:Ipblocklist

New listings below this line, at the bottom, please. Add a new listing.

It's not offensive, but I feel that this username is too generic, and too much like the perma-banned User:My account. A more specific account name should be used to specify this editor. TheQuandry 21:17, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

The user mostly edits Logan College of Chiropractic. I believe this constitutes a conflict of interest and violates WP:U. I have mentioned such on the users talk page before. --Midnightcomm 16:14, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

  • I would say, especially given the editing patterns that this is a username that promotes a company or website. I think Disallow. HighInBC 16:28, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Yup, Disallow, clear promotion of the services of a chiropractic college. Editing history appears to be one big log of WP:COI. Refusal/inability of user to communicate and removal of notices from talkpage without comment also very poor practice. Deizio talk 16:38, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
