WP users using their real names

As I recall, WP has a page listing such people, and there are dozens and dozens listed. Perhaps you can find it - if I am right and my memory serves me correctly (I seem to recall it from the period of the Essjay scandal, when verification of credentials was being discussed) - and simply link to it. It just seems kinda awkward to create it here. :-/ Stephen Ewen 02:18, 9 February 2008 (CST)

Great, thanks. I'll blank the page and get the link to that. Andrew Sylvia 15:10, 9 February 2008 (CST)

I'm sorry, I having some difficulty finding it. I'll stop the subpage irregardless though, perhaps looking later.

RSA pages

Andrew, the articles you are creating like RSA ### need to be written to be more like an encyclopedia article and less like a list of law facts to make it more readible and interesting. To start with, are these Federal or State laws, etc? A lede discussing what the law basically means would be very helpful. Starting with some thing like this:

RSA ### is a Federal statute designed to protect the rights of employees to work in a place free from (Sexual harassment, racial discrimination, etc). It was first inacted by the 89th Congress on (fill in the date) and was sponsored by Senators XXXX and YYYY.

Notable uses (lawsuits) of the law would be interesting, too. Perhaps the full text of the statutes should be a subpage? This may be something the Law Workgroup to discuss and hammer out. David E. Volk 12:21, 24 February 2008 (CST)
