Hi Grant. I am a constable here at Citizendium. Thanks for the really interesting information at [[Online Identity Verification for Collaborative Communities]], an issue you are apparently aware we have been pondering to one degree or another here. I hope you got some practice using wiki markup to create the piece. However, since it really is not an encyclopedia article, the content best belongs at the Forums and deleted from here. I will give you a day or two to move it before I delete it. Please don't be off put by this. I hope to see you around authoring articles!

Hi!

Hi, Grant, I saw your introduction—unfortunately, I had to remove it because you inadvertantly posted it to an archive of old discussions. I suggest that a better place to post this comment would be on the forum for the relgion workgroup. Welcome aboard! Nat Krause 13:18, 19 February 2007 (CST)


Thanks!

Thanks Nat. I'll be sure to come on over to the forums and get involved with the workgroup. Grant Sparks

Online Identity Verification for Collaborative Communities

Hi Grant. I am a constable here at Citizendium. Thanks for the really interesting information at Online Identity Verification for Collaborative Communities, an issue you are apparently aware we have been pondering to one degree or another here. I hope you got some practice using wiki markup to create the piece. However, since it really is not an encyclopedia article, the content best belongs at the Forums and deleted from here. I will give you a day or two to move it before I delete it. Please don't be off put by this. I hope to see you around authoring articles! Stephen Ewen 14:31, 27 February 2007 (CST)

Hi Stephen. I will of course comply with the decision but I disagree with the choice of media you suggest, as posted here. The information being presented in this article is of interest to the citizens of citizendium so give me a couple of days (or maybe some help?) to re-write it in whatever manner will make you think it looks more like an encyclopedia article, rather than making these arbitrary decisions on what topics we can write articles about. This topic is a good one that will be a useful reference for the upcoming (ongoing) debate on technology solutions for the real-names policy.
