:User active in March and April of this year; made some edits to [[New Monkees]] and other articles. Has not been active since my username query to him in April, which he also never answered. "Junkie" is not something appropriate to base one's username on, IMO. [[User:Zephyrad|Zephyrad]] ([[User talk:Zephyrad|talk]]) 02:05, 24 October 2008 (UTC) |

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.
Add new requests below, using the syntax {{subst:rfcn1|username|2=reason ~~~~}}.

Reports
Please remember that this is not a vote, rather, it is a place where editors can come when they are unsure what to do with a username, and to get outside opinions (hence it's named "requests for comment"). Bolded recommendations are not necessary. There are no set time limits to the period of discussion.

- User's own talk page claims the name "refers to the act mammals of the order carnivora copulating in German", and gives an obscenity as a guide to its pronunciation. User made a short run of minor edits (not labeled as such) on October 6, and has been inactive since. Has not replied to my username query on his talk page.

- Possibly disruptive. Editor is apparently here to correct some perceived bias in the use of the word Anglo-Irish and other general cultural issues, judging by his user page [1], comments made on my talk page, and comments to Ireland based users [2]. I requested a change of name on his talk page [3], which has been ignored [4]. The discussion might become moot because he might get banned for trolling soon anyway, he doesn't seem interested in actually editting any articles as yet.

- I don't think the username is a problem, we just have to see what he does with it. He hasn't edited an article yet, so if all he's going to do is bring things up on a talk page, I don't like it's much of a problem. GrszReview! 14:06, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
- You don't see any potential for disruption if User:GodLovesTheIrish is in a heated discussion with User:GodHatesTheIrish on an Irish related talk page? MickMacNee (talk) 14:38, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
- Considering there is no such account as User:GodHatesTheIrish? No, I don't see the potential for disruption. Shereth 16:14, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
- I must echo Shereth. Anybody can conjure up potentially disruptive scenarios, but given that said user does not even exist, it's a stretch to apply it to this situation. The name, as it stands, is not disruptive. Also, the user should be notified of this discussion if they have not been already. Wisdom89 (T / C) 16:24, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
