Other Users
Please add H. Krichel and substitute the vowels in Harald Krichel with wildcards. [1] --Harald Krichel 09:30, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
- Hi!
- I can only see one misuse there. maybe some names have been deleted. could you give some examples of those names? -- seth 22:23, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
- Some of that names appeared on eswiki too and are in es:Special:Log/suppress. — df| 08:48, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
Also "Krichel * Harald" with wildcards. --Harald Krichel 09:01, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
- please don't give long lists where we have to look for those names by ourselves. please provide examples, so that we can build an adequate regexp. -- seth 20:17, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
Proposed removals

This section is for proposing that a title be unlisted; please add new entries at the bottom of the section. Remember to provide the specific title or regex blacklisted, links to the articles they are used in or useful to, and arguments in favour of unlisting. Completed requests will be marked as done or denied and archived. The addition or removal of a title is not a vote, please do not bold the first words in statements. |
several entries
Hi!
There are several blockings which are not necessary (for example) in de-wiki. Perhaps de-wiki is not the only wiki where some of the English entries are obstructive.
- /fu[c(k]k/: There is even a town called de:Fucking. It's inhabitants are called "Fuckinger". If you have a look at a german telephone book[2], you will see, that there live some people called "fucker". and "muckefuck" is something like bad coffee.
- /orgasm/: I could not find a reason for blocking this.
- /bitch/: Couldn't this be more precised e.g. like /\ba bitch\b/?
- /[ck(]unt/: This forbids harmless names like "kunterbunt"
- /AIDS/: this should be case-sensitive.
Of course, for some of those requests I could use the german whitelist. But I guess, it is better to try centralizing the stuff concerning user names, because of SUL. -- seth 22:59, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
- Added casesensitive to the aids one and jews did. For the rest, I see no issues. These are account names. — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 20:23, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
- Account names don't need to be real names. It's not uncommon to use names like "shadow", "mud", ... in english. a name like "kunterbunt" or "muckefuck" would not be very strange user names in germany either. -- seth 11:42, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
"jimbo"
Regex: .*j[iu]m(?:bo|my)( wh?ales)?.* <newaccountonly>
I am an ACC developer and a user from En Wikipedia. At ACC we help people with accessibility and blacklist issues obtain accounts by request. It has come to my attention that the regex mentioned above is stopping users from making accounts with the word "Jimbo" in them. Whilst we all know that Jimbo Wales is the founder of the Wikimedia Foundation, I and several others feel that Jimbo is a common nick & in some cases first name and that by itself does not warrant blacklisting and doing so would be just as bad as blacklisting "larry" (which thank god it's not). I also feel that anyone who may be interested in contacting Jimbo Wales will be well within their ability to tell Jimbo Wales from any other jimbo. Promethean 13:51, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
- I don't really know what you want done here. Can you be more specific? --MZMcBride 00:04, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
- Hi!
- The regexp
/.*j[iu]m(?:bo|my)( wh?ales)?.*/is equivalent to/.*j[iu]m(?:bo|my).*/. That means that every "jimbo", every "jumbo", every "jimmy" and every "jummy" is forbidden. I agree with Promethean that this regexp should be removed or at least modified, e.g., by using /.*j[iu]m(?:bo|my) ?wh?ales.*/- I'll do that. -- seth 18:38, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
.*everett.*
.*Everett.* <autoconfirmed>
Stale entry, probably not necessary anymore. –xeno (talk) 19:40, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
Troubleshooting and problems

|
This section is for comments related to problems with the blacklist (such as incorrect syntax or entries not being blocked), or problems saving a page because of a blacklisted title. This is not the section to request that an entry be unlisted (see Proposed removals above). |
Grawp
an accent needed to be added to the Title blacklist
the entry listed here:
.*[GĜĞĠĢƓǤǦǴḠ].*[RŔŖŘȐȒṘṚṜṞ®].*[AǼAÀÁÂÃÄÅĀĂĄǍǞǠǺȀȂȦḀẠẢẤẦẨẪẬẮẰẲẴẶÆ4@].*[WŴẀẂẄẆẈ₩].*[PƤṔṖǷ₧ÞþΡρРр].* <newaccountonly> .*[GĜĞĠĢƓǤǦǴḠ].*[RŔŖŘȐȒṘṚṜṞ®].*[AǼAÀÁÂÃÄÅĀĂĄǍǞǠǺȀȂȦḀẠẢẤẦẨẪẬẮẰẲẴẶÆ4@].*VV.*[PƤṔṖǷ₧ÞþΡρРр].* <newaccountonly>
needed to be changed to this:

because any letter or accent that makes the word "Grawp" should be blacklisted 76.183.4.175 03:45, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
