This was the discussion before blocking the name: "OK, this user name is just trolling. Ban it immediately. --mav 23:37, 12 Oct 2003 (UTC) done. FearÉIREANN 23:43, 12 Oct 2003 (UTC) "

Don't forget: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Liberal/deny_freedom_of_speech Where a majority of people voting to ban user:Liberal. 'User:Non-liberals are stupid' is, of course, much worse. --mav

That vote was to ban user:Liberal, not the other name. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel Mayer" <maveric149(a)yahoo.com> To: <wikien-l(a)Wikipedia.org> Sent: Sunday, October 12, 2003 6:05 PM Subject: [WikiEN-l] User:Non-liberals are stupid

Yes, but there was an ongoing discussion about the ban in general and there was no immediate need for the ban. On User:Non-liberals are stupid's user page, it specifically said that all discussion on banning should still go on that same talk page. LDan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

They wanted to ban User:Liberal because he was using multiple accounts. Not one person on that talk page wanted to ban User:Liberal because of his actual username. If you used the multiple-account rationale for banning User:Non-liberals are stupid, I wouldn't object, because that's clearly what the vote concluded. BTW, what's our multiple username policy?

Someone named User:Tester seems to have created multiple user names today. He's created User:Groessler User:Opus33 User:Wartortle User:Josh Cherry User:Donnie Ng and User:Tester. He then immediately went to the VfD page as Donnie Ng and placed several opinions on whether to keep articles or not. This behavior has me curious.

There's no specific policy against it, but it's generally considered uncool unless you have a good reason. I would say that multiple usernames are really only a problem if they are used as a method of troublemaking of some sort. For example, to generate an appearance of consensus, or to vote more than once, or to hide from public scrutiny. --Jimbo _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l(a)Wikipedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
