Your username
Concern about your username has been raised at Usernames for administrator attention. You might wish to comment. DES (talk) 14:29, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

My concern about your username
Hello, Wiki Gestapo, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

You have several options freely available to you:
 * If you can relieve my concern through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
 * If the two of us can't agree here, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as asking for a "third opinion", or requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Wikipedia administrators usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
 * You can keep your contributions history under a new username. Visit Changing username and follow the guidelines there.

Let me reassure you that my writing here means I don't think your username is grossly, blatantly, or obviously inappropriate; such names get reported straight to Usernames for administrator attention or blocked on sight. This is more a case where opinions might differ, and it would be good to reach some consensus — either here or at Requests for comment/User names. So I look forward to a friendly discussion, and to enjoying your continued participation on Wikipedia. Thank you. Blueboy96 15:53, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Inappropriate username
Please chose another username. I don't think you meant any harm in chosing your username, but it is extremely inappropriate, considering that the Gestapo was some of the worst mass murderers Europe has ever seen. For those of us that come from countries that were oppressed by the Nazis and where the Gestapo tortured and murdered our fellow citizens, seeing such a name around is not funny but very insulting. Have a nice day. Valentinian T / C 22:52, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Let me be blunt. Your username is flatly unacceptable, and has been blocked. I will grant that you meant no harm in your choice, but it remains unacceptable. You are free to create a fresh account, as the Autoblock option has been disabled. DS 21:30, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I have to agree that this username is not appopriate.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 21:33, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
