User creation log

This is a log of recent user account creations. Some editors will routinely patrol this log in order to find usernames that are inappropriate. Such editors are asked to familiarize themselves with Wikipedia's username policy before doing so. Inappropriate usernames are those in which are:

  • obviously or egregiously offensive, profane, violent, threatening, sexually explicit, or libelous, or that advocate or encourage any such behavior (for libelous usernames, please contact an oversighter rather than reporting the username publicly)
  • disruptive, such as those designed in order to impersonate or falsely represent other Wikipedians or notable living people, or imply that the user is clearly not here to contribute positively to the encyclopedia
  • misleading, such as those that give the false impression that they are "official" Wikimedia Foundation accounts, that they have "official" ownership of any articles, content, or topic areas, or that they have any kind of "power" or "authority" over other editors (such as implying that certain Wikipedia policies do not apply to them), or that the account has any administrative or "moderator" access levels or user rights
  • promotional, such as those representing a company, organization, website, musical group or band, team, club, creative group, or organized event

Please note that editing under a username which represents an individual cannot be a violation unless it appears to be impersonating a notable living person.

Editors with usernames that are a potential violation of Wikipedia's username policy may be notified using {{subst:uw-username}}. Blatant or egregious violations should be reported to Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention. However, editors are reminded of the need to avoid "biting" new editors and should not, as a general rule, warn or report accounts before they edit, unless their username is unambiguously egregious or highly offensive.
