'''Identity dispute''' arises when '''claimed identity cannot be verified''' ie. that someone is who they are claiming to be '''or''' when anonymous users (anonymous users may in fact be [[trolls]] that frequent the media in question) that '''refuse to take an identity''' thus existing (or perhaps non-existing) in the [[social club]] as non-persons or using [[pseudonyms]]

Collective and alleged and ambiguous identity are all problematic.  The first step is an [[interwiki identity standard]] so that those who seek to claim a name on several [[large public wiki]]s can do so quickly and unambiguously - this avoids much confusion.  As [[trolls]] enter, the second step is a way to place an [[IP number]] or [[login]] in a [[faction]], which it can move from to another faction, but may not totally defaction itself.  That way, signals can be sent to others that this IP number originates [[controversial edit]]s consistently, so it can be watched by those who think so.  It also makes the dispute a bit less personal and avoids [[repute]] debates and [[echo chamber]]s.  [[Funded troll]]s would likely require a third step involving some [[sysop power structure]] under supervision of [[Consumerium Governance Organization]].
See [[Noise vs. Signal]] for the different approach to take in each wiki - research needs a somewhat looser standard than the final published information that becomes the [[Consumerium buying signal]].
