It's good that people volunteer to work on Wikipedia. We're grateful for their hard work. But with that work comes responsibility. We ask that contributors check their facts and take some pride in their work. We ask that they collaborate with others. We ask that they behave civilly and with respect. Asking that they use an appropriate username is an extension of that, and not wildly unreasonable.
Wow, Martin - you just nailed it.
