We'll probably never think of every way to mimic a
previous user.
If there's an easy check to do (and there clearly
are some),
then go ahead, but ultimately we'll need to rely on
policy:
If somebody creates a username for fraudulent
purposes
(as [[Fr:Utilisateur:Anth�re]] was), then it should
be removed
(as [[En:User:Throbbing Monster Cock]] was, for
other reasons).

Hum. Today, on the french wiki, a utilisateur:Fare
appeared.
We also have a utilisateur:Far�, who is the same (I
guess, I am not even entirely sure) than the
user:Far�.
On the en wiki, you also have a user:Fare, who I guess
is the same person than user:Far�.
I am not entirely sure than User:Far� is the same than
Utilisateur:Far� though, for en appear to accept
entirely Far� edits, when these are considered highly
POV on french wiki.
However, in any case, I doubt very much that
utilisateur:Fare is the same than utilisateur:Far�.
You might consider it is not important. But I have 4
user names here. And I don't think I have 1 person. It
does not help human relationships and trust.
Anthere (the most famous one, not the others :-))
