Not all candidates provided their wikimedia/wikipedia user name. I
happen to know who Roger Bamkin is, and can guess who Ashley Van
Haeften is, but it would be very helpful if the wiki-identities of all
candidates were to be explicitly stated.
I remember back in 2008 when Wikimedia UK was relaunched there was a
debate about whether people involved in the chapter should have to
disclose their online identities. In the end most people did but the
conclusion was that it shouldn't be mandatory.
There are quite a few people on Wikipedia who are quite protective of
their pseudonymity - particularly people who are admins involved in
contentous issues - and I think we should respect that.
Having said that, I agree with Mike that a question on the wiki would
be a good place to ask that question. I'm User:AndrewRT, incidentally,
and mostly active on the English Wikipedia. Information about my
