system command, and not a wiki edit.

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."
