< Wikipedia:Requests for comment | Everyone using a username which is against policy
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by JRR Trollkien (talk | contribs) at 20:20, 31 March 2004 (User:Zippy is offensive to the British.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

I'm told this is the appropriate place to complain about inflammatory usernames. Under our no offensive usernames policy, the following user accounts should be disabled:

  1. Always gods child
  2. Child of God
  3. CrucifiedChrist (see also specific discussion at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/CrucifiedChrist)
  4. Crusty Ass
  5. Eminem is god
  6. Fuck
  7. Fuck You
  8. Fuck2
  9. FuckAmerika
  10. FuckMenchi
  11. Fucking Asshole
  12. FuckingFucker
  13. Fuckstick
  14. Fuqnbastard
  15. God
  16. Godisgood
  17. Godisnowhere
  18. Jesus
  19. Jesus Chirst
  20. Jesus Christ
  21. Jesus Saves!
  22. Jesus is Lord
  23. Jesus is a controversial word
  24. Jesus is a fudgepacker!
  25. Jesus is so much cooler than Brahma
  26. JesusCantSave
  27. JesusChrist
  28. ManofGod
  29. NoLordButJesus
  30. Satan
  31. Satan is our Saviour!
  32. Sum' D-Block Muthafucka
  33. There is no God
  34. Wrath-Of-God

I haven't linked to the user pages because everything you need to know about them is on this page. May I suggest changing the relevant passwords to some random string? That way they won't have their IPs blocked next time they try to log in. -- Tim Starling 02:55, Mar 5, 2004 (UTC)

I completely support that. -- BCorr ¤ Брайен 02:58, Mar 5, 2004 (UTC)
No objection, though it would be better if there was a way of blocking a username without blocking their IP so that if any of these users ever try to log in again, they will see the reason for the blocking, rather than being confused by a changed password. Angela. 03:11, Mar 5, 2004 (UTC)

Some more spotted by Pakaran are listed below. -- Tim Starling 04:27, Mar 5, 2004 (UTC)

  1. PhatJew
  2. Cumguzzler
  3. Cockgoblin
  4. Illiterate Cow
  5. Nutsack
  6. Fragrant feces

Some more offensive usernames.

  1. User:Jengod -- Offensive: contains the word "God" in it.
  2. User:Hephaestos -- Offensive: a tribute to a pagan god (Hephaestos).
  3. User:Stewartadcock -- Offensive: contains the word cock. There is a precedent: User:TMC.
  4. More: See Wikipedia:Offensive User Names Havers Club

Some of the names listed don't seem to me to be offensive. Is having a name of a religious nature ("Godisgood" for example) necessarilly offensive? Is there a policy in this regard? Sam Spade 05:30, 7 Mar 2004 (UTC)

from what I read here [1] it is reccomended against, but not against policy. I can't see how such a name would be inflamatory or offensive, which would be. Sam Spade 05:33, 7 Mar 2004 (UTC)
We went through all this before. There was a long discussion, and a consensus was reached. If the policy page hasn't been updated fully, then the policy page is at fault. See User talk:Jesus is Lord! and User:Jesus is Lord!/namechange. It's got nothing to do with whether you personally find a name offensive, the question is whether some significant minority will find it offensive. -- Tim Starling 13:21, Mar 7, 2004 (UTC)
Its clear to me that the vote you cite favors my position, not yours. I ask again, where is there evidence of any signifigant minority feeling this name is so offensive as to force a change of name? Sam Spade 04:03, 10 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I'd prefer to change offensive names to something inoffensive. That removes the name from the page history. Martin 00:51, 10 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Yes, I'd rather that the names be changed. Perl 23:11, 12 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I agree that something should be done since the presence of these names paints the project in a bad light. Perhaps they could all be changed to something like User:NameWithheld, especially if the number of edits is few. UninvitedCompany 21:12, 29 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Jengod, Stewartadcock are from actual names. Nothing offensive there. Dori | Talk 18:21, Mar 31, 2004 (UTC)

A few more:

  1. CrapBeater
  2. Allah is great
  3. Olga Bityerkokoff

Dori | Talk 18:25, Mar 31, 2004 (UTC)

And:

  1. Sex
  2. Rothwellisretarded

Secretlondon 18:28, 31 Mar 2004 (UTC)

And:

  1. User:Paki (racist term in the UK)

fabiform | talk 18:35, 31 Mar 2004 (UTC)

And:

  1. User:Fuzheado: Profanity.
  2. User:Yacht: Name is too elitist.
  3. User:Zippy: This is offensive to British people.
