Dangers of giving real identities

Many thanks for your comment. You described a situation that I am very familiar with. Many others may also have strong feelings and opinions about this issue. That is why I asked "Where do you think would be the right place to start a project across projects and languages where the question of editors of all "ages" sharing more about themselves on their user pages could be addressed? I believe that would be the ideal place to centralize the advantages and disadvantages of anonymity vs real identity; identity verifiability; user page improvement and protection." Do you know if such a place already exists? If not, do you know where such place might be? Would you like to be informed if that gets started? Would you be willing to lead that effort, contribute or at least would it be OK with you to quote your post there? You have contributed extensively to the talk about the March 2011 Update and seem to know a lot about Wikimedia projects, having edit on Wikipedia for more than six years. If I didn't comment on what you wrote it was, most likely, because I felt I didn't have anything to add. That's actually the case of your two comments, made this past May 4, which I thoroughly enjoyed reading.

Sincerely,

Virgilio A. P. Machado
