You can also mail these usernames to the mailinglist if You prefere, some
stewards are reading this list *and* are doing locking.

I tried but stewards then available couldn't
handle UTF-8 Asian
scripts. And it has continued from the end of July. Some jawiki*
blocked those ranges (see checkuser-l for details) for months. I
rather now worry about spamming libelous messages. After it was logged
on user creation log and other logs, it cannot be removed.

If they
are going to cause trouble on a non-native wiki, they will be
spotted soon enough.
