This is an essay, a page containing the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. Essays may represent widespread norms or minority viewpoints, and they may be heeded or not based upon your judgement and discretion.
It's good that people volunteer to work on Wikipedia. We're grateful for their hard work. But with that work comes responsibility. We ask that contributors check their facts and take some pride in their work. We ask that they collaborate with others. We ask that they behave civilly and with respect. Asking that they use an appropriate username is an extension of that, and not wildly unreasonable.
