It might be, if there's some kind of dialogue on the talk page, but it also might not be. It might just be a fly-by edit, fixing an error, adding value in whatever way. I hear that you '''want''' people to participate, but not everyone that edits is participating, the way I see it. And it's not the participation that triggers this choice of 3 you've presented on [[RealNames]], it's the editing. I think.

Ted, :-)
- There are three ways to participate on a wiki:
- There are three ways to be identified when editing a wiki:
More of our (diff) on this subject! :-) MarkDilley | talk
- Semanitics, maybe? I can either read or edit. Those are the two ways to participate, methinks. If I want to read, I don't need to identify myself at all. If I want to edit, that's when this RealNames page comes into play, yes? TedErnst | talk 21:28, 5 Mar 2006 (EST)
Mabye, I will give it a try:
- Maybe it is sematics. I can read this wiki or I can participate at this wiki by editing. (is reading particiaption?) If I want to read, I don't need to identify myself at all. (except there is some identification in the logging of IP addresses) If I want to participate in the wiki, that's when RealNames comes into play.
I am extremely interested in sematics, I admit it and am guilty of it :-). MarkDilley | talk
- IP addresses are logged on every website, in some way. I know I don't have access to the logs for WikiIndex. Do you? Yet when someone edits, that information is public, available to all.
