User talk:Richardofoakshire

	Fragmented conversations hurt my brain.
	I will respond here to comments that are posted here, and, well, elsewhere to comments posted elsewhere. Please, please don't fragment a conversation just to get my attention—if I comment at a page, it's a very safe assumption that I have watchlisted it. If you are concerned that I might miss a post elsewhere, use {{Talkback}} to notify me here. (Notice stolen from User:Yoenit)

[Use of real names]

Richard, there are over a quarter million articles on the English Wikipedia in which the page bears the name of a real person, and the contents of the page presents a substantial amount of information (and misinformation) about them. They have no right of privacy and no functional recourse. And yet you would allow the anonymous biographers here the unlicensed freedom to publish false and defamatory characterizations of identifiable living people under a pseudonym without being held responsible, accountable, or liable for what they write? Surely you jest. —Moulton 15:41, 28 March 2011 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.162.215.169 (talk) [reply]

In answer to your question: Defamatory and/or wrong information in biographical articles about living (or deceased, for that matter) persons find by no means my support. There however isn't a necessity for the articles authors to be known by real name - there are better ways of preventing misinformation: References. If there is misinformation on a page, it will probably not have references, and if it doesn't have those, it will be deleted. Very simple. Anyways, I do not see a reason why the discussion is carried out on my talk page as it has nothing to do with me other than my opinion - and that is better published on the Community Review talk page. I will allow myself to copy both your and my comment. Richardofoakshire _[talk] 15:52, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
