We talk about the English-language Wikipedia here, no? Other Wikimedia projects allow usernames in non-Latin scripts, as best I know. For instance, in Russian wikipedia, you may get a username in Cyrillic. Most complaints are from those editors who have a non-Latin username in their national wikipedia and fail to see why they can't keep it in English wikipedia. Best, Andrey
Single User Login (SUL) _is_ coming soon. This means that someone with a login on the Russian Wikipedia will be able to have the same username on the English Wikipedia (just as an example).
The question is, are we ready for this?
