Superficially, the Essjay case was about falsified credentials; at its core, it was about an elaborate deception that Essjay rationalized as being necessary because he held positions of trust at Wikipedia. Verifying credentials will not address the core issue of deception by Wikipedia administrators. As I stated in a recent blog post, the issue of verified credentials is a red herring.

The thinking is that people will then just focus on the substance of the entry rather than who that person is." Hi Chris, Did you mean anonymity? I think it would be beneficial to know more about the editors of particular topics, especially in cases where they are researchers or professors, because you would have a chance to learn more about their individual, presumably related, research. If they are really who they say they are, it seems that they would want to increase exposure to their research, which is likely a reason they are adding to wikipedia in the first place. And if it could serve to increase the credibility of the articles, it would be all the better. “To many (including Wales) the beauty of Wikipedia has always been the animosity.
