Dear organizing team,
Thanks for offering 4 check-boxes for the details on the badge! May I ask, how will the details be presented? I think it'll be a useful piece of information for many of us whose username is the same as our real name. If it looks like
First Last username project
it'll be a bit redundant for us to have our name written exactly the same way twice; but if it looks like
First Last [[User:Username]]@project
then it'll be useful to have both.
Also, on the drop-down menu for project there is only wikipedia, wikibooks etc. but not a choice of the language. Will that be a useful thing to have?
Deryck
Some users may not be affiliated with any project or chapter, and may not have a username. I suggest
First Last Username (optional) Affiliation
Sincerely, Nicholas Michael Bashour

Actually, I am pretty sure some people do not wish to have their real name printed on the badges alongside their nickname. I can't remember if the question was asked (I hope it was), but the end result should probably be something like:
First Last (optional if Username is provided) Username (optional if First Last is provided) Affiliation (if provided)

For security reasons, the first and last name MUST be on the badge. Only the username and affiliation can be optional. Those who do not want their real name associated with a username should only provide their first and last.

We definitely understand concerns surrounding privacy issues vs security issues, particularly in the US, and we want to accommodate all attendees who wish to keep their real names off their badges. We'll be looking into security requirements, but, for now, the established status quo of providing either your real name, user name, or both is still in place. I'm hoping that doesn't have to change.

Israel has very tight security and I'm pretty sure they didn't insist on printing real names on badges.
Genuinely tight security does not require outing pseudonymous wikimanians.
If I go to DC it will be my first trip to the US since I received a death threat from somebody there. That's what I call a security risk, and my circumstances will be quite commonplace amongst Wikimanians. As an admin on EN wiki its easy to get quite blasé about the armed crazies in the US. I'd like to relax about that aspect and assume that security is being covered, but this nonsense about printing real names on badges "for security reasons" does not inspire confidence in DC's security arrangements.

Nicholas is double checking with the venue but I am almost positive that usernames only on a badge (if you prefer that way) is not a problem.
Even places like the National Archives and Library of Congress don't ask for an ID when you enter. (only the metal detector, but they don't care who you are).
Now, if we are able to arrange special tours of the U.S. Capitol (entirely optional for attendees), we'll need to provide them names for security but it's a private matter and doesn't have any effect on what goes on your badge.
Cheers, Katie

Right. Real name is required for registration to a certain extent, but I personally have no reason to believe anyone is required to keep their real-world identities on display. I have asked to verify this.

Thanks for checking Nicholas. My recollection is that Harvard had the same requirements (people must be identified), and the only thing we did then was to hold ready a list where nicknames and real names were matched to provide to Security services should the need have arisen.
Best,

BTW, there is no open to a free line? I know that last years we had, to allow people for example to add their chapter\wmf staff, company name and ext'. Not everyone are Wikipedian's.

We have added affiliation as an option on the registration form and for the badge. Apologies for the oversight.
If you are already registered and want to update it, you can login again (password reset if you need it) to update your details and registration "order":

That is a good idea. We should have the affiliation in the badge for sure (for those who want it - of course). _____ *Béria Lima*

Dear organizing team,
Thanks for offering 4 check-boxes for the details on the badge! May I
ask, how will the details be presented? I think it'll be a useful piece of information for many of us whose username is the same as our real name. If it looks like
First Last username project
it'll be a bit redundant for us to have our name written exactly the
same way twice; but if it looks like
First Last [[User:Username]]@project
then it'll be useful to have both.
Also, on the drop-down menu for project there is only wikipedia,
wikibooks etc. but not a choice of the language. Will that be a useful thing to have?

Well, my username has nothing to do with my real name :) So it won't be redundant for all :P

This said, I think that having: [[Username]] (ie. the brackets around the user name) is a nice way to avoid complete redundancy when the Username is the same as the First and Last Name.
Cheers,

I would recommend putting square brackets (and maybe "User:") around the username whenever both real name and username are supplied. It's seldom immediately obvious which name is the username and which name is the real name if you don't speak the other person's mother language!
