A user about whom there is confusion over name wrote: And how many posts have been placed both on this list, and on the wiki itself, harrassing, belittling, and attacking me because, apparently, my name is Adam [name omitted for privacy reasons] (or so the cabal says) and that I should be banned for not using that name. Jimbo can say all he wants that my name was not a factor in banning me, but the history of the mailing list says otherwise. Perhaps he didn't read all the mailing list posts.
According to mailing info, it was sent
From: Adam von [name omitted for privacy reasons] cddvdlenscleaner@yahoo.com
Personally I don't give to hoots whether the person is called Adam, Bridget, Vera, Susan, Napoleon von Humberdick or whatever. But it would make things a lot easier if the person in question could settle on /one/ name and stick to it. And it would show other wikipedians a lot of respect if the user used that name and no others when editing wikipedia.
So do you agree to stick to one identity? Y__ N__
What name do you wish to be known as? ________________
One final point: a question was asked some time ago of 'Adam' as to whether he is the user currently known as Pizza Puzzle. I am not here advocating PP's banning. But it would clear the air if 'Adam' could answer a simple question asked in the past but not answered. An honest and upfront relationship with other wikipedians would go a long way to solving the issues that have arisen in 'Adam's relationship with wiki. And note I am not raking over past issues of past identities. All I want to know, as part of a process of trust building is, is Pizza Puzzle 'Adam'?
Yes _____ No _____
If there is honesty with regard to usernames then that could well form the beginning of a new relationship between the user formerly known as Adam and wikipedia.
