A brief contrarian point of view. If Wikipedia is to succeed in any measure to move beyond its tabloid status then transparency is essential. That is, every admin must necessarily have their identity exposed and it surprises me somewhat to see the resistance here - and I find it hard to justify.
Ah, but admins don't control the content, do they? In just a quick glance at several of the encyclopedias I have lying around, none of them mention who wrote each article, most don't source their facts and many don't have editors listed by name anywhere in the set. What makes Wikipedia so special?
