Problem with the definition of the word "pseudonym"
Nathaniel Tarn's entry has recently been changed by Wikipedia to state that Nathaniel Tarn is a pseudonym of Edward Michael Mendelson.

Nathaniel Tarn became a LEGAL name on naturalization to U.S.Citizenship on April 14, 1982 (

Tarn does not believe that, in a case such as this, the word "pseudonym" can or should continue to be used. If the United States can recognize, as a citizen's first new right, a change of name, then institutions could and should surely follow.

Tarn's preference, as he has explained to Wikipedia before, is that no reference to a previous Legal name in his entry should appear, Italic textin his lifetime. For one thing, there is not even a list of EMM publications in the present entry.

You state that "we do consider the concerns of the subjects in the decision making process."

I look forward to hearing from you.
