[Foundation-l] Assume Good Faith and Don't Bite Newbees

[Pharos]

I believe that a "verified" account system for GLAMs specifically
doing encyclopedic work (not for businesses, etc) would not be too
difficult to work out, and would be well worth any such effort.

Such systems, though nothing is 100%, have worked quite well for many
other websites.

Thanks,
Pharos
