Hello,
There is one problem that I met several times with relation to Wiki research. On the one hand, it is importand to reference to one's "primary sources", e.g. link to a sentence in a WP discussion we are talking about. On the other hand, we want to preserve the privacy of our users.
For example, in Leipzig a lecturer talked about a certain discussion, and he tried to keep it anonimously because it was about the discussion itself, not to embarass the persons. But, the anonimity was soon destroyed by curious listeners, anyway.
Did you already encounter that problem yourself?
Kind regards Ziko van Dijk
