My number one reason is that a pseudonym is an identity. When I see that identity on edits, I can develop a feeling for the quality of that person's edits in general, and then either assume they're good, or give them more scrutiny over time. With an IP, even if it's the same all the time, I'll never be able to associate one edit with another. They'll all be completely seperate and all have to be closely scrutinized.

My feelings on this are pretty strong. It took this project to understand that. I am feeling that we are already getting overwhelmed with psudonyms. Either we have to be fairly strict about RealNames or let it be open to psudonyms. I honestly don't see myself participating heavily in a community/wiki that doesn't feel real to me. My two cents :-) [[MarkDilley]] | <small>[[User talk:MarkDilley|talk]]</small> | |||
