<br><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">There are privacy issues. Can a person remain anonymous and release an<br>
image of themselves. If so, how, in the case of Commons or Wikipedia?<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>Yes, through trusted OTRS representatives that understand the need for privacy. I'd happily sign a contract with the Wikimedia Foundation "swearing" myself to secrecy. While transparency might be a key for Wikimedia, anonymity is also another important feature and option for users. There can be a simple template that affirms that this individual has verified their information - even if it requires the OTRS agent who signs up for the task to go above and beyond to verify content (i.e. a copy of identification, phonecall, I don't know - I'm just throwing out ideas) - and do our best to trust people and our work.<br>
