SUGGESTION: With respect to username, a simple suggestion would be to pick your Duke NET ID. If you have a screen name you are particularly happy with, you may use that. As long as it is not offensive, of course. Stick to letters and numbers - symbols can get sticky.

IMPORTANT NOTE (1): Obtaining an account on the Pratt Pundit Wiki Pages means you agree to pursue only constructive activities with these pages. Purposefully reducing the usefulness of pages, adding incorrect information, using profanity, insulting other members, and the like will not be tolerated and may lead to action with the Undergraduate or University Judicial Board as this resource is provided as part of the academic mission of Duke University and the Pratt School of Engineering.

IMPORTANT NOTE (2): A valid X@duke.edu or X@alumni.duke.edu address is required to edit pages on the Pratt Wiki. If you do not have a current Duke account or an alumni forward, and believe you should have access to the page, contact Dr. G. If you put in an invalid e-mail address, you will receive an error when creating an account. If you leave the e-mail space blank, you will be able to create an account, but will not be able to edit pages.
