User:Race Rebels: Culture, Politics, and the Black Working Class
This "user page" is actually the draft for an article about a book of this name! It may well be a good-faith mistake; but it's still unacceptable. I have userblocked the name itself as a violation of our username standards, suggesting that this editor apply for a change of username. Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  05:52, 5 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete And suggest to the person that WP usage for such a project could effectively lose him his copyright on his work-product posted here.  I suspect that would shock him sufficiently. Collect (talk) 12:03, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't see confirmation that the user is Robin D. G. Kelley, the book's author, or am I misunderstanding? It's certainly possible, but I think it's just as likely to be someone who's interested in the book. Gotyear (talk) 13:50, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment. Would the content be acceptable if moved to a sandbox (temp until the user chooses a new name, then to a sandbox under that name)? A WP article is unlikely to give a chapter-by-chapter summary, but the introduction prose and the infobox layout seem to be a reasonable start, and the chapter titles could help with structure in a sandbox.
