Perhaps?

Once upon a time, I had a premonition about such nasty things: Perhaps? and I had written on one of my user pages: "I am sharing this with utmost good faith. My intuition says that there may be a number of editors who are marauding the length and breadth of Wikipedia with a view to disrupt its functioning. Wikipedia must have a system to record real identities (albeit not disclosed to all but kept confidential with the records of Wikipedia Foundation) of users after they attain a particular hierarchical level, say, the level of being administrators. This has become an imperative requirement, as behind the thick veil of anonymity (I mean the users with user names giving no clue to their identities) hiding like the proverbial black sheep who may be doing disruption to Wikipedia by their overt or covert action. The system of identification is currently ensured for certain other levels in the hierarchical levels. If we do not ensure this, may be, we are not doing full justice to the donors who pay Wikipedia Foundation to build an encyclopedia. I have a premonition that some such editors may be under the pay roll of some organizations that are inimical to Wikipedia. I think that I shall be proved wrong in my opinion and judgment, and ultimately no Wikipedains shall be traced to be acting in the manner described by me and the name of Wikipedia Foundation shall remain unblemished."

I still hold the same views. --Bhadani 17:44, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Almeda?

I answered a question like this on yahoo answers. This school is a fake and not recognized by the CHEA, Council For Higher Education Accreditation. Maybe we should put a permanent link on all these types of Wiki articles, so people can search for their schools to see if they are accredited. This school claims to be accredited by UNESCO, but this list is self nominating and therefore is not reviewed by anyone. http://www.chea.org/search/default.asp --Kolrobie 20:41, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
