Questions I filed a few days ago are of interest to others: expertise and real names
One of the founders of Wikipedia has started a rival online encyclopedia called citizendium. This new start-up (or should that be "upstart"?) will apparently exercise "gentle expert oversight" and will require contributors to use their real names.
Er - okay...
Obvious Question #1: Who gets to decide who is an "expert" and who isn't?
Obvious Question #2: How will they know it really is my real name?
