No. I  want to take away the right for an editor to revert an edit for  
the  sole reason that we can't verify the person's identity so what  
they  say doesn't count. >>


---------------------
That isn't what occurred.
What occurred was that the editor stated "I am this person and I say  this"
It's not whether we can verify who the editor is, it's whether we can  verify 
that they are the subject.
That's the issue.  What was done in this case, is exactly what we  should do, 
barring a way to verify the identify of a BLP  subject.
