Well, then I hope they tighten up the identity checks but with respect to an individual's privacy, of course. This is what makes the environment interesting, that everyone's using real names.
As a reader I just don't like reading what the anonymites of the world have to say anymore. I'd like to know what serious people have to say about certain subjects. Who would edit the article about "cyberspace" and what would they write? http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Cyberspace Whenever someone has something to say, and wants their name to be attached to it, they can go to Citizendium.

The identities aren't generally verified, the only requirement is that you use a name which is plausibly a real one. It doesn't have to be your real name. ---- _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
