Description William Allen Simpson 2009-07-22 03:36:06 UTC 
It is still possible to create similarly named accounts.

Assume that "User:Crashtestdummy" or "User:CrashTestDummy" exists and is SUL.

When trying to create "User:Crash Test Dummy" on a site (say en.wikipedia) 
where Crashtestdummy already exists, there is an error, because the name is 
too similar.  Good!

When trying to create "User:Crash Test Dummy" on a site (say en.wiktionary) 
where Crashtestdummy does not exist, there is no error. Then, immediately 
do a special:merge account, and voila!  Similarly named SUL account, viable 
on all sites.
