Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User names

If you believe someone has chosen an inappropriate username under Wikipedia's username policy, you may list it here. However, before listing the user here, please consider contacting the user on his or her talk page and bring their attention to the problem and Wikipedia:Changing username. Names that are offensive, inflammatory, impersonating an existing user, or asserting inappropriate authority will generally be permanently blocked by admins.

This page is for bringing attention to usernames which may be in violation of Wikipedia'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 Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention.
• For other cases involving vandalism, personal attacks or other urgent issues, try Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents; blatant vandalism can also be reported at Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia'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.

Zakaria mohyeldin (talk · contribs)

Here is the third one. This user name is an Arabic variant of Zakaria Mohieddin (Arabic:زكريا محيى الدين) who is a famous military leader in Egypt.

• Disallow Former Prime Minister of Egypt, seems to be still alive. HighInBC ^{(Need help? Ask me)} 01:54, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

• Disallow (provisionally) as long as it isn't the editors name. The surname, while similar, may in fact be unrelated. There are many people with a surname of this spelling. It's probably also worth noting though that the user hasn't edited since June of last year. This may either be an editor who's left the project for the time being, or one that's excercised a right to vanish Crimsone 02:31, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

God007 (talk · contribs)

God007 uses two things: God is considered a religious figure, and 007 is the number of James Bond. This User possibly violates religious Usernames and copyright. Acalamari 04:02, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

• Disallow on basis of potential for religious offence per WP:U. I'm pretty sure the 007 element can be excused though. Crimsone 04:13, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
• Weak disallow. The compound word thing isn't too big a problem (Godwallop was recently allowed) but as there's no reason to combine these two and it's a new account... Deizio talk 08:21, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
