Additional entries
Provided by a variety of contributors. Some contributions may not have been made in good faith. For discussion or vote.
- User:Jengod -- Offensive: contains the word "God" in it.
- User:Hephaestos -- Offensive: a tribute to a pagan god (Hephaestos).
- User:Stewartadcock -- Offensive: contains the word cock. There is a precedent: User:TMC.
- User:Fuzheado -- Offensive: Profanity
Discussion of how to handle the accounts on the list
My recommendation is:
- Delete the user page and talk page
- Reattribute any contributions to User:NameWithheld
- Change the password to a random or invalid value to make the account unusable
I believe that this should be a standard procedure for any inappropriate names.
- I think there should first be a warning and a period for appeals by users such as "Paki", "Jengod", "Hephaestos", "Fuzheado". First, I personally do not find these sorts of user names offensive. Second, I suspect that they can all offer personal histories that explain their choice of these names for reasons that have nothing to do with trying to shock others or give offense. If not, and if a majority of voters DO find them offensive, then they could be forced to change to a different user name. All of the other names on the list are not questionable, they should be blocked. JWSchmidt 22:21, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)
My two cents
Personally I find very offensive the objections themselves to the names Jengod, Hephaestos, and Stewartadcock. What do you do about the most prominent signer of the Declaration of Independence? ;Bear 20:20, 2004 Apr 6 (UTC)
- I believe it was pointed out that those names may not have been added in good faith. A recently-created user, User:JRR Trollkien or something like that, added them, I believe. Rather than remove them and perpetuate an edit war, I thought it best to leave them and let them get voted down. UninvitedCompany 20:58, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- OK, I suspect you are referring to "Some contributions may not have been made in good faith." which was unclear about whose contributions to what. ;Bear 00:23, 2004 Apr 7 (UTC)
