Same as everywhere, William Allen Simpson, of course! ;-)
Years ago, some (most?) of us edited via various nicknames. I actually
didn't bother to log in, but instead only had an account to "watch"
changes.
But circa 2005 -- wikipedia was getting bad press for accuracy at the time --
some of us made a mutual pact to use our real names. We hoped that it
helped to have published authors as contributors.
OTOH, I've also helped former college students obscure or remove their real
names, as some firms still frown on association with wikipedia.

Recently, I've had a rare need to check interwiki links. I've discovered
that many times, the universal login credentials are not working.
For example, after login to english, the french link seems to accept the
credentials (most of the time), while the german link *never* accepts the
credentials.
Moreover, there is still the problem with secure, in that following
interwiki links doesn't stay with secure, so have to re-login for
each site. (Also, secure is slower than ever, and edits sometimes log
the IP instead of the user name.)
