	::Yeah, kind of a bad example, but what I meant to say was that since we are an English-speaking Wiki, most users might not be able to understand what the name means (as already mentioned on the page itself). And thus, even if it's written in English characters, not being able to understand the name would be bad since for all we know, they could have a username that violates some of the other issues, such as vulgarity or offensiveness. Also, I just now noticed that I forgot to mention one of my ideas when I started this section so here it is: "Usernames that imply that the user is of higher authorities. This can create confusion among the community, especially when a user wants to notify people on here such as Administrators, and could thus mistake a user with such a name for an admin only to realize that they are not and end up wasting time. Examples of such usernames would be "Administrator Mike" and "Bill the Bureaucrat".
