Not a wiki
edit! Aha! therfore not subject to POV
rules. :-)
Dante Alighieri pounced:
But, since the Wiki software keeps track of every
edit by username, a username becomes a part of
EVERY edit that the user makes.
Therefore, while
CHOOSING the name isn't a wiki edit, every
subsequent edit has the name
imbedded. This makes it subject to NPOV rules...
assuming that the person
makes at least one edit ever... and if they don't,
what's the point in arguing?
Dante is right. This whole thread is silly. To say
that wikipedians shouldnt have a means to enforce NPOV
in usernames is essentially saying "lets ask Jimbo to
handle each and every case."
