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.

Yes, I think what i-ctus mav has redacted here is the basis of any reasonable agreement bewtween Wikipedia contributor and the other members of the association. It need not be written down, discussed or decided upon, it is the reasonable terms of behavior that is implied into every principled exchanged between those who organize together for a purpose. Having it articulated in a concise manner is perhaps the beginning of corpus juris civilis wikipedi. (excuse me if I have the Latin declinations wrong, corrections greatfully acknowledged).
