Default Wikipedia wants writers to prove credibility

Recently, Wikipedia found out that one of their writers who claimed to be a professor was really a college drop out. Because of that, they have enforced new rules. The writers must prove themselves credible to wikipedia. They are going to ask the writers for credentials. The writers will still remain anonymous to the public, but they have to prove themselves to Wikipedia.

THta is a good move anyhow , many of the people , directly go to wikipedia for anything , so for letting a safe support and not misleading anyone this is great .
"We always prefer to give a positive incentive rather than absolute prohibition, so that people can contribute without a lot of hassle," this is what was said and I really like it .
