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.
