This user keeps adding a redirect of 음낭 to [[Kim Jong-il]], who is currently the leader of North Korea. I cannot read Korean, so I can't confirm whether this is a good-faith edit or not, but assuming that it is, we shouldn't allow 음낭 as a username as it is the name of a well-known international statesman, [[User:Jguk|jguk]] 22:52, 20 August 2005 (UTC) |

- This user keeps adding a redirect of 음낭 to Kim Jong-il, who is currently the leader of North Korea. I cannot read Korean, so I can't confirm whether this is a good-faith edit or not, but assuming that it is, we shouldn't allow 음낭 as a username as it is the name of a well-known international statesman, jguk 22:52, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
- That says something other than Kim Jong-il ("Um-nang", roughly), so the username itself isn't offensive, AFAIK. – ugen64 06:59, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
- "Eum-nang" is Korean for "scrotum". [1] Kappa 07:02, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
- Oh, heh, guess my Korean's not quite up to speed... – ugen64 07:08, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
- This would be the equivalent of redirecting chimpanzee to George W. Bush. As such, I'd suggest something be done about this guy; he seems to be a vandal. - 206.114.20.121 19:01, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
- Ombudsman (talk · contribs)
- I have requested that he changes his name. He looks like a good contributor so I hope he won't mind. The point seems to be moot since the guy hasn't logged in for over a week. I personally don't see it as much as a problem (if I had, I would have done a {{usernameblock}}), however given the sheer amount of comment this got, I thought it was best to politely ask the ombudsman to reconsider. This has been debated to death here so let's drop the issue now. Radiant_>|< 11:30, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
