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, Andrey

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.
