1 Many Wikimedians want to keep their userid and real name separate - even
when attending events.
2 The way to encourage applicants to be open about this is not to then
criticise those who get scholarships. Instead make sure we have the right
people on a scholarship committee.
There are many checks and balances and sometimes needs to protect
individuals. That is an important factor in getting the appropriate level
of transparency.

Fae, this is a standard defence that you run often.
Let me say that you do not do yourself any favours when you make a
statement accusing the chapter of some outrageous or corrupt act, and then
deny responsibility for the intent of your posting by pointing out that you
had phrased it in the conditional. Carefully drafting an allegation in the
conditional is not a get out of jail free card that allows you to disclaim
all responsibility for the meaning you intended to convey in the first
place.
