I have a good friend who was harassed in-person in a very damaging way due to their non-pseudonymous work as a Wikipedia admin. Knowing their story, I'm surprised any admins would not be pseudonymous.



Wow. Sorry to hear that. If your good friend is a she then she should get in touch with "Jennsaurus" at Wikipediasucks.co ASAP because Jennsaurus is a journalist who has discovered and compiled two dozen cases of sexual harassment against women editors.


Thanks. In this case (which happened long ago) the perpetuator was a known cyber(?)criminal who is now currently serving time for something unrelated.
