Is it worth mentioning Orlowski's typically negative Register articles[1][2] on Skutt, his "ironic" map of the US and Canada, and Angela's departure? -- ALoan (Talk) 15:49, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
Nobody can prevent humorous and would-be-humorous persons and publications from making use/misuse of Wikipedia or other publications. How would Uncyclopedia fit into this discussion?
I cannot be the only person who "tidies up" typos without necessarily signing in - and how will a authenticated name system actually work (many people with the same name etc)? How would Wikipedia prevent me from signing in under multiple pen names (whether or not with supporting evidence)? Wikipedia should avoid the problems arising from "kneejerk legislation" (see your local legislature for examples). It might be more appropriate to consider what to do with vandalised pages once they have been reverted to something sensible
Just a few ideas for the discussion.
