Just last week, Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales asked contributors who claim credentials to disclose their full names instead of a pseudonym, following an incident that rankled Wikipedians. One of their most prolific contributors, purporting to be a tenured professor of religion with expertise in canon law, was exposed as a fraud. EssJay, who made over 20,000 contributions, was in fact a 24-year-old college dropout from Kentucky.
