User:Brookie/Nom de Wiki
Appearance
A name used for a user of the Wikepedia family as their public user name. There is a long tradition of Wikipedians not using their birth names as their nom-de-Wiki: indeed many habitual Wikipedians are rumoured to have actually forgotten their "proper" names through over use of their Nom-de-Wiki. Those people using their normal names are an insignificant minority.
Boffy Research Request
[edit]It would make an interesting study for the real names of the Wikepidans to be analysed and compared to their nom-de Wiki - any offers?
