"Suspicious"
[edit]{{editprotected}}
Add suspici for "suspicious", "suspicion" and to allow the typo "suspicius". mechamind90 21:58, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
- I'm not sure that user names with these words are above suspicion for being problematic. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 04:54, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

- Then what is spic for? Whether or not suspicious is suspicious, it's not a hard-block worthy username. mechamind90 18:41, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
- spic appears to be a racial slur, at least according to what Kurt Shaped Box said when (s)he added it to the black list.
- Some of these accounts were blocked - Abovesuspicion, Chocolate makes a suspicious shirt and PPG blocks any accounts she finds suspicious, even if not me. as sockpuppets; Jesuspicious as a user name violation, probably due to the "Jesus" in the name; Dontbesuspicious as a vandalism-only account. I also think that Mr.suspiciouspants (who had only made one edit, to Diarrhea) should also have been blocked.
- Highly.suspicious, Iamnotbeingsuspicious111 and Vocalsofsuspiciona have never edited, so they wouldn't have shown up on WP:UAA/BOT under this entry.
- I think that the few user names left don't represent a significant issue - chances are that any entry will occasionally have false positives (I once found a false positive for "troll"
- The other question here, is whether or not the word "suspicious" is, in fact, suspicious. I believe that Abovesuspicion is the sort of name which clearly isn't; Mr.suspiciouspants suggests certain sorts of edits, which this user had made; PPG blocks any accounts she finds suspicious, even if not me. is a personal attack; and Jesuspicious is potentially insulting to Christians. For a LOW_CONFIDENCE,WAIT_TILL_EDIT entry, I think that 1 in 3 is high enough to justify it being reported. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 06:20, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
- So it sounds like Jesus would be overlooked as it intersects with suspicious? mechamind90 02:02, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
- According to User:HBC NameWatcherBot#Technical info, "It will examine each new user one time by first removing any string from the name that are found in the white list"; the "sus" of Jesus is overlapping with the word "suspicious", meaning that it wouldn't have appeared on WP:UAA/BOT had this request been fulfilled. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 07:05, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
- I would also like to point out that being listed at WP:UAA/BOT is no guarantee of being blocked. Of 47 names listed on Monday, only 25 were blocked; of these 25, 6 blocks were given reasons which have nothing to do with the user names. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 07:25, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Addition
[edit]{{editprotected}}
'Cocktail' should be added to the whitelist because it matches the string 'cock' that is on the blacklist, but is not rude. - EdoDodo talk 16:46, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
