Proposal - Fusion_of_social_network_and_Wikimedia

Social network is used to deal with vandalism (and so on).

Anybody can attach external link to article. However these links will be seen only for friends of attached user (or probably to friends of his friends).

Nobody do vandal action against friend.

If some one grade the attachment good, this attachment will be seen for friend of graded user. Such spreading by recommendation of friend is good, I think.

We propose to use one-way relationship "trusted adviser" instead of bidirectional "friend" in typical social network. This mean user choose whom he is trusted too. For example he can choose thrust to some well known expert. User know expert, but expert need not to know user.

Also it is impossible to impose oneself on anybody as expert.

Friends can be "trusted adviser" each no another. For example if my friend is keen on history I thrust to his grading. Also I can trust to any body he trust.

To avoid changing content it is possible to use CRC or digital signature. CRC of page can be stored by service together with link.

There are two opportunity to check CRC:

1. By service

Service can verify links in idle time

2. By user's browser.

Unfortunately it looks like plug-in required.
