Common name[edit]

Do end users refer to these things as SIP address, SIP URI or something else? ~KvnG 15:32, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

From the point of view of the article itself, unless you can find an academic article which includes a survey of what users call it, it would be original research and therefore not allowed in the article. However, I think the real answer is that they don't call it anything at all, as they are typically not exposed to them. -- David Woolley (talk) 10:45, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Spam and security issues - should be greatly reduced[edit]

I find this whole section to be largely irrelevant, and its only remaining relevance is as to why the general public doesn't encounter SIP URIs, which could have been stated very briefly.

On the latter point, the whole article fails to indicate the importance of SIP URIs in multiple places in the SIP protocol, and concentrates only their use as substitutes for phone numbers.

The example log is taken from a particular product, and, unless you are familiar with that product, you may not be able to generalise it to other implementations of SIP. It is also dated, as it actually a log from an implementation of SIP within that product that is not longer the preferred option. It also picks on one particular country, a source of telecoms fraud.

Like the rest of the article, no sources are given, and it generally reads as an attempt at a primary source.
