Reporting inappropriate names (old)
[edit]Clearly inappropriate usernames should be reported at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism, and can be blocked on sight by any administrator. This includes usernames used solely to vandalize. In these cases it is frequently useful to disable account creation, if the username is believed to have been created in bad faith.
The starting place to discuss a questionable (but not clearly inappropriate) username is on the user's talk page, suggesting that they change their username. Remember that users may not be native speakers of English, and may be unaware of causing offense. If that doesn't resolve the issue, do a posting at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Usernames. The user should be notified about this. In this process, other users comment on the appropriateness of the name. If after discussion, consensus is that the name is inappropriate, an administrator can block the account. For such blocks, the option to "disable account creation" should not be used, allowing the user to pick another name.

[edit]Clearly inappropriate usernames should be reported at Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention, and can be blocked on sight by any administrator. In these cases it is frequently useful to disable account creation, if the username is believed to have been created in bad faith. If the username in question only may infringe on the policy, please discuss the name with the user in question before taking it their. Unless the name is a blatant infringement, do not report the username unless it has begun editing.

[edit]- * (updated) New usernames that blatantly violate the username policy may be listed. However, any reports should still be accompanied with an explanation as to how the policy is violated. "Username is a clear violation of policy" is not sufficient. If the violation is unclear, not obvious, or there is a possibility that a reasonable person would disagree, the username should be reported to WP:RFCN instead.
