At Wikipedia we have a system for protecting an account that allows a person to demonstrate real world identity by publishing a secure hash of a string or file of identifying information. When the file or string is produced to an administrator, the admin can verify the validity of the information using the hash and then the information can be connected to the real life person who provided the verified file or string. Obviously, this would only be done in extreme circumstances as the use of the system means a new one is required.
As I said there, should it ever be needed, as of this date and time 2025-07-13 12:23 UTC, I can provide the information file that is verifiable with this hash.
Committed identity:
8f1bd4b2c1378fac157b07a100d15716df8ecd59db6
c82fc7f7afdc4f215e91508b08082b1b30c29466052
8f40a8aa826ab6705d92c3b10111bf7debec39e59c
is a SHA-512 commitment to this user's real-life identity.
We use Proton for our email, so if you have a Proton email address, you can automatically send encrypted communication to either of us. Should anyone need to send secure communication outside Proton, here is my PGP public key.
