My user name, "Presearch", has many possible meanings. I use it because it is similar to "Research," which is needed for writing good Wikipedia articles (just no original research!). Pluralism interests me: some of what I do for Wikipedia might perhaps be called pluralism research, which shortens to p-research, or presearch. More broadly, the word "presearch" has been used for many years in many ways, with 3000+ hits in Google Book in 1980s and earlier, some going as far back as 1981, 1957, or even 1946.
