Is there any lee-way for doing a Ted Bauder request - (too much pain from wikiprojects or we kill ya) and reinventing yourself time and time again? I have never been banned, but have chosen to start afresh 8 times in 6 years - I have 43 live articles I created still live. Think I'm out of cocoon soon - but there must be hundreds of admins and editors who disappear?
Ooops - What I meant to say is that some editors have had undeclared editorial names, have come back as a different persona, edited and certainly never been tribune to a check, would they still be allowed in the V2.0 UK? Would I have to declare all my pevious names? Would I have to say why I left and reverted to other names?
This wouldn't be a problem; editing on Wikipedia will not be required to join WMUK2. You wouldn't have to declare any of your previous names, or even your current one. A field to provide it will probably be on the application form, but will be optional - it would just be used for communication purposes.
