Use of a [[jabber.org]] ID has been suggested as an '''interwiki identity standard | Use of a [[jabber.org]] ID has been suggested as an '''interwiki identity standard''' for all [[GFDL corpus access provider]]s. This has many advantages, few drawbacks, and tends to help overcome the problems with strict [[IP number]] based accountability and with [[identity dispute]]s arising from the many different [[user name space]]s. It should also solve the [[GFDL corpus]] problems with the [[attribution]] required by the [[GFDL]] itself. | ||
= | This would simplify [[identity dispute]]s for those who used such a voluntary common ID. For clashing allegations of identity, only a [[faction]] system can possibly work. ''See [http://www.wikinfo.org/wiki.phtml?title=Wikinfo:faction en:Wikinfo:faction] for a proposal for this that would suit pan-GFDL editing.'' | ||
''(insert example of the variety and complexity of problems arising from lack of such a standard, exploitation possibilities caused by identity confusion)'' | |||
Ensuring all [[wiki user page]]s alleged to, or claimed to, belong to "the same person", and keeping these claims or allegations correctly attributed, is further simplified by reliance on a [[standard wiki URI]] for all such pages. ''Typically the [[Language:User:]] space is reserved for this on [[MediaWiki-based service]]s.'' | Ensuring all [[wiki user page]]s alleged to, or claimed to, belong to "the same person", and keeping these claims or allegations correctly attributed, is further simplified by reliance on a [[standard wiki URI]] for all such pages.

Such a standard would not resolve other collective and alleged identity questions, where one is dealing not with self-alleged identity but with other-alleged identity. There is a fairly complex interaction between the question of factions and that of [[power structure]]s, including the role of [[sysop]]s and other such empowered users, and those they specifically disempower, called "[[trolls]]" and "[[vandals]]". Much of the complexity is re: trolling: | Such a standard would not resolve other collective and alleged identity questions, where one is dealing not with self-alleged identity but with other-alleged identity.
