Extended repetition of a number of characters--172.129.215.236 17:03, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

• Meh - no contributions (self-revert). --Abu-Fool Danyal ibn Amir al-Makhiri 17:11, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Allow Characters not too extended Ryanpostlethwaite contribs/talk 17:17, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Allow - Agree with ryan. Limited repetition of a non random pattern. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 17:19, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Allow It's Marchwood with each letter doubled up -- not a difficult name to remember, which is the point of the randomness/extended character rules. Leebo ^T/C 17:22, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Disallow - let's not get away from the spirit of the rule. Just because we can allow this username doesn't mean we should - it is still confusing, hard to type in and remember. No reason not to create an easier username. I would hate to see a person with this username become an admin. Patstuart^talk·edits 17:35, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

• Comment I'm all for asking users to change their names if they are borderline like this (which was not done in this scenario), but I don't see a reason for forcing it. Leebo ^T/C 17:37, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

• Maybe we could come to an agreement then to ask the user to change the name, then bring back here upon refusal. I can agree to that. Patstuart^talk·edits 17:38, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

• I don't now it's started, especially when there's no need to change the name if it's going to be allowed anyway Ryanpostlethwaite contribs/talk 17:39, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

• Allow Not confusing or random and therefore not a violation of policy. G Donato (talk to me...) 17:41, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Weak allow -- per Leebo, let's not force it, but I'm in favor of suggesting a change. Mangojuice^talk 17:48, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
