:''From UAA'': Violation of username policy because it's a promotional and disruptive username; Contains "truth" and is an account involved in advocacy, and seems related to the website "truthinlabeling.org" which the editor has referred to, and is an advocacy site on the same topic this WP:SPA edits.

* '''Disallow''' apparently a corporate/group name. User asked "what would be wrong with being connected to truthinlabeling.org?". My answer is: Your name violates our policies, as company/group names are disallowed. You seem eager to attribute valid requests that you change your name to some kind of "pro-MSG" bias. That is not the case, we forbid all group usernames. You are free to edit under a personal account. Material you add that violates the [[WP:NPOV]] policy will continue to be removed, no matter what account you edit under. [[User:Gigs|Gigs]] ([[User talk:Gigs|talk]]) 20:35, 30 June 2009 (UTC) |

I sympathize with this user's cause, but usernames that are used to promote an organization are [[WP:SPAMNAME|explicitly disallowed]]. User is free to edit under an individual name, as long as they keep [[WP:NPOV|neutral point of view]] in mind and don't [[WP:LINKSPAM|add external links to promote a viewpoint]]. -[[User:Kotra|kotra]] ([[User talk:Kotra|talk]]) 00:43, 1 July 2009 (UTC) |

:Originally reported to UAA as promotional. I wasn't entirely convinced and asked that the user be notified about the concern. Per a comment on the talk page, this user claims this is a standard pen-name they use, but that they are willing to change their username if necessary. Personally I do not see an issue; a quick Google search turns up no companies/groups/etc under "Shiptradenews" or "Ship Trade News", and the user appears to be trying to make good-faith edits. Since I am so on the fence as to whether or not he should change names, I'm requesting disuccsion here.

:Registered name that appears to be an IP address. Editor is using a confusing З instead of the number 3 in the username. When typed into the search bar, it goes to an apparently unrelated set of IP contributions. Has continued to edit since an attempt to discuss the issue on the user's talk page. The contributions themselves are idiosyncratic, but not clearly disruptive: eight articles created, two of which have since been speedy deleted, and one that was almost a word-for-word rephrasing of another article as though it had been put through a thesaurus.

*The name is childish and stupid and I seriously doubt the person operating it has any intent to stick around and actually help build an encyclopedia, I just don't think the name, on its own, is sufficiently explicit to warrant a no-warning block, which is why I declined to do so.

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 ~~~~}}.
Tools: Special:ListUsers, Special:BlockList
Reports[edit]
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"). There are no set time limits to the period of discussion.
- Place your report below this line. Please put new reports on the top of the list.
