This page is for bringing attention to usernames which may be inappropriate under Wikipedia's username policy. Before listing a username here, consider if it should be more appropriately reported elsewhere:
- For blatantly inappropriate usernames, such as usernames that are obscene or inflammatory, post to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism.
- For other cases involving vandalism, personal attacks or other urgent issues, try Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
- If username is only a borderline or questionable problem, and the user has made no edits, there is no reason to report it here. Blatantly bad usernames of any kind should be reported at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism.
- If you wish to contest or question the blocking of a user by an admin, please be sure to first contact the admin, and give them reasonable chance to reply. If that does not work, drop a note at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. Please do not post those issues here on this board.
