Imagine that:

Unlikely? Perhaps - though some people say that the
evil reptilian
kitten eater takeover has already begun. The way around this is to
formulate attribution requirements that do not require specific
reference to Wikipedia, but only to the individuals who contributed

This actually looks fairly good on the surface, if that would
in fact be all there was to it...
If there really was a superordinate goal of requiring
reference to the individuals who contributed the text,
I would be the first to applaud you, Erik. It seems though
that the _prospect_ of very speculative and indecisively
defined new ways of showing editors _on_ wikipedia
pages fringes (not requiring it downstream even), is
what is really concretely even hinted at...
So, come on... we just aren't buying the spiel.
