We talk about the English-language Wikipedia here, no? Other Wikimedia
projects allow usernames in non-Latin scripts, as best I know. For instance,
in Russian wikipedia, you may get a username in Cyrillic. Most complaints
are from those editors who have a non-Latin username in their national
wikipedia and fail to see why they can't keep it in English wikipedia. Best,

No.
Wikipedia is a multilingual project. You need to take hindsight and
consider
users not as accounts, but as people who edit on different Wikimedia
projects and in different languages. This is precisely the philosophy
that's
behind SUL.
