> But it's not a secret, the name has been mentioned in mainsteam media on multiple occasions, and even here, in this thread on HN.

Most pseudonyms aren't real secrets either, plenty of people knew the real name or face of people posting under a pseudonym but that doesn't make it OK to post it on Wikipedia.

> Yet, they keep every other name on wikipedia, especially if we're talking about peoples legal names

Ah yes, “every other” except for the ones they don't. We've already talked about people with pseudonyms right here!

> Wikipedia is the one making exceptions here for one group in particular.

One group that happened to be harassed (and, unfortunately often, assaulted) for having changed their name in the first place, hence the “exception”: the group is exceptionally vulnerable.
