In other words, one can choose whatever username is preferred for community systems such as git.centos.org and cbs.centos.org -- for example, my commmunity username is always 'quaid' (when I can obtain it.) But the wiki stands alone in requesting that document authors use a "real name", i.e., FirstnameLastname of the autheor. E.g., my username on wiki.centos.org is KarstenWade. The same is true for all other project members that I have seen. FWIW, I don't follow this practice in other locations. For example, on the Fedora Wiki I am 'Quaid' and on Wikipedia I am 'iquaid', the latter being my preference when straight 'quaid' is not available to me. The FirstnameLastname preference for the CentOS wiki is a bit of legacy, and makes sense to follow simply for that reason unless there is a better reason to change it.
