In the current era, team pseudonyms are *much* more common than individual pseudonyms. Please revise the article to focus on that. Individual pseudonyms are certainly worthy of a section, but IMO the article should be primarily about team pseudonyms. Jonah (talk) 07:24, 13 May 2019 (CDT)
"Damage to statistics' accuracy" section
I actually believe that teams using pseudonyms doesn't always damage the reliability/accuracy/whatever of stats because, well, sometimes it really is just obvious what its actual identity is.
