{{IP|DoctorTomoki}} and {{IP|DrTomoki}} They're still considered "Doctor" Tomoki. [[:User:ZeldaStarfoxfan2164|ZeldaStarfoxfan2164]] ([[User talk:ZeldaStarfoxfan2164|talk]]) is made in America  19:06, 11 October 2015 (EDT)
 
{{IP|Elgralbelgrayn}} I just noticed, this username is Nyargleblargle spelled backwards. - [[User:Drilly Dilly|Drilly Dilly]] ([[User talk:Drilly Dilly|talk]]) 01:38, 2 October 2015 (EDT)
 
{{IP|Justin Bieber SUCKS!}} Already blocked for three days, but this username also seems inappropriate due to it being offensive. (I don't like Bieber either but still).

{{IP|Lee Harvey Oswald}} Ok, I think someone out there is making accounts with names of controversial figures. [[:User:ZeldaStarfoxfan2164|ZeldaStarfoxfan2164]] ([[User talk:ZeldaStarfoxfan2164|talk]]) is bad for me  13:01, 27 September 2015 (EDT)
:Such as... Hitler and Osama Bin Laden.

{{IP|Tamerlan Tsarnaev}} Also intolerable because both Tsarnaevs (reality-wise) bombed Boston and killed hundreds (again, feel free to search up Tsarnaev on Wikipedia and/or Google). - [[User:Drilly Dilly|Drilly Dilly]] ([[User talk:Drilly Dilly|talk]]) 05:12, 27 September 2015 (EDT)
 
{{IP|Dzhokhar Tsarnaev}} Again, another intolerable username (if you don't know who Tsarnaev is, search him up on Google and/or Wikipedia). - [[User:Drilly Dilly|Drilly Dilly]] ([[User talk:Drilly Dilly|talk]]) 04:33, 27 September 2015 (EDT)
 
{{IP|Osama bin Laden}} Unacceptable username. - [[User:Drilly Dilly|Drilly Dilly]] ([[User talk:Drilly Dilly|talk]]) 01:23, 27 September 2015 (EDT)
 
{{IP|Hitler}} Need I say more? - [[User:Drilly Dilly|Drilly Dilly]] ([[User talk:Drilly Dilly|talk]]) 04:47, 27 September 2015 (EDT)
 
{{IP|Nazi}} Again, plain obvious. - [[User:Drilly Dilly|Drilly Dilly]] ([[User talk:Drilly Dilly|talk]]) 04:47, 27 September 2015 (EDT)
 
{{IP|Adolf Hitler}} Pretty obvious. - [[User:Drilly Dilly|Drilly Dilly]] ([[User talk:Drilly Dilly|talk]]) 04:47, 27 September 2015 (EDT)
 
{{IP|Pregnant ape jesus}} pretty offensive username. ([[User:Smashworker101|Smashworker101]] ([[User talk:Smashworker101|talk]]) 13:43, 20 December 2014 (EST))
:[[User talk:Pregnant ape jesus#Hello.|He was already told he had an inappropriate name]].

::I know that part. ([[User:Smashworker101|Smashworker101]] ([[User talk:Smashworker101|talk]]) 14:12, 20 December 2014 (EST))
 
[[User:Wieners in man butt]] Pretty sure anyway. <small>---Preceding unsigned comment added by [[Special:MyPage|you]]. Or maybe [[User:Nutta Butta|Nutta.]] </small> 16:29, 1 December 2014 (EST)
 
{{IP|Famikonkābī}}. Not quite sure if it completely falls under the other language section, but it definitely falls under the difficulty typing it out part of it. {{s|user|PikaSamus}} ([[User talk:PikaSamus|talk]]) [[File:PikaSamusSig.png|12px|link=Special:Contributions/PikaSamus|PikaSamus]] 17:20, 2 December 2014 (EST)
:A few accents doesn't make a name hard to type and still be understood. See Pokemon. [[User:Toomai|Toomai]] [[User talk:Toomai|Glittershine]] [[Image:Toomai.png|20px|link=User:Toomai/Bin|???]] The Trumpeteer 17:22, 2 December 2014 (EST)

{{IP|Extiicy}} ...Am I the only one who sees a similarity between the username and [[wikipedia:Ecstasy|this]]? [[File:AidanzapunkSignaturesmall.PNG]][[User:Aidanzapunk|<span style="color: blue;">'''Aidan the'''</span>]] [[User talk:Aidanzapunk|<span style="color: blue;">'''Aura Master'''</span>]] 09:25, 3 February 2015 (EST)
:are you sure your illusions are coming? [[User:Smashworker101|Smashworker101]] ([[User talk:Smashworker101|talk]]) 21:59, 4 February 2015 (EST)
::Comparing Extiicy with Ecstasy kinda doesn't make a huge difference because Ecstasy is a philosophy, drug, emotional, songs, art, and a religion (kind of) and Extiicy is not a real word. So...... [[User:Smashworker101|Smashworker101]] ([[User talk:Smashworker101|talk]]) 22:14, 4 February 2015 (EST)
:::I'm just saying they sound a lot alike, and it may or may not be a coincidence. [[File:AidanzapunkSignaturesmall.PNG]][[User:Aidanzapunk|<span style="color: blue;">'''Aidan the'''</span>]] [[User talk:Aidanzapunk|<span style="color: blue;">'''Aura Master'''</span>]] 09:05, 5 February 2015 (EST)
.... Although I do get why you might think my name (Extiicy) is affiliated with a drug, I really did not intend to make it that way, I do not seek to have people confuse my name with the drug, I've always had this username even before I knew what ecstasy was, it's just a coincidence I guess. [[User:Extiicy|<span style="color: blue;">
 
==Renaming proposal==
I think we should include a section on renaming users, so users know what exactly happens (and that it exists). It would go something like this:
:'''"If a user doesn't like their current username, it is possible for a [[SW:ADMIN#Bureaucrat|bureaucrat]] to change the username. The process is really simple.
:*'''After deciding on a new username, a user would report the new username request to an active bureaucrat on his/her talk page.
:*'''The bureaucrat will decide if the name change is appropriate. If it is, then the bureaucrat will ask the user to wait a few days to make sure he/she really wants the new username. When a few days have passed, the user should remind the bureaucrat of the rename, which at that time, the bureaucrat will rename the user. In the event the new username is not appropriate, the bureaucrat will ask the user to come up with a new name."'''
It's not the best of wordings, to be honest, but it's a general idea, and you may fix it as you please. <font face="Marker Felt">[[User:Rtzxy|<span style="color:red;">Rtzxy</span>]] [[File:Reflect.jpg|20x20px]] [[User talk:Rtzxy|<span style="color:green;">''Reflect!''</span>]]</font> 22:58, 4 December 2014 (EST)
:I'm working on a separate policy page for this; I don't think it really works well merged with this one. [[User:Toomai|Toomai]] [[User talk:Toomai|Glittershine]] [[Image:Toomai.png|20px|link=User:Toomai/Bin|???]] The Obfuscating 23:00, 4 December 2014 (EST)
::Really? I think it could fit on this page. This ''is'' about usernames, right? <font face="Marker Felt">[[User:Rtzxy|<span style="color:red;">Rtzxy</span>]] [[File:Reflect.jpg|20x20px]] [[User talk:Rtzxy|<span style="color:green;">''Reflect!''</span>]]</font> 23:02, 4 December 2014 (EST)
:::This is about "what a legal username is", which I don't think fits with "the procedure and restrictions on having your name changed". [[User:Toomai|Toomai]] [[User talk:Toomai|Glittershine]] [[Image:Toomai.png|20px|link=User:Toomai/Bin|???]] The Researcher 23:04, 4 December 2014 (EST)
::::Well, who says we can't rewrite this policy into a general username policy, one that's not just about which usernames are acceptable and what's not? It shouldn't be ''that'' hard to do anyways, right? <font face="Marker Felt">[[User:Rtzxy|<span style="color:red;">Rtzxy</span>]] [[File:Reflect.jpg|20x20px]] [[User talk:Rtzxy|<span style="color:green;">''Reflect!''</span>]]</font> 23:06, 4 December 2014 (EST)
