Also people assume she used the real name, it could still be a pseudonym...

The identification of Durova, is now strewn widely across the

Can we not repeat her own real full name in-Wiki ?
I can't see any reason to publish her name onwiki if she doesn't want it (and I don't know whether she does).
It does get harder to maintain a right to pseudonymity if you're deliberately linking your real name to the pseudonym elsewhere, but I'd still say if there's no need to post the real name onwiki, and the person doesn't want it, we should err in their favor.
I generally support this view, and it seems that most of us who are willing to respect another editor as a person would do that naturally. If we know her name, so what? Those whose motives I would most distrust are the ones who would persist in startlingly unnecessary actions or revelations.
