Belarus To-do:

We propose to add the observation that TORCH has been reviewed by the Low Level Radiation Campaign and to provide a link out to the review. This comment is provided by me, Richard Bramhall of LLRC. I don't at all like the anonymity of Wikipedia and the way it hides the authorship of tendentious and downright inaccurate entries. I intend to be openly identifiable and emailable at bramhall@llrc.org
- It doesn't hide it at all, it keeps whatever information is possible. I.e , the ip address. Anything beyond that is pretty much unenforceable. Also, on talk pages it is helpful if you type four ~ characters in a row at the end of your post as this will mark it with the date you made the post, as well as your username ( or ip address if you don't have an account ) allowing others to see who made the comment. 137.205.236.51 12:33, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, you should have a passing look at Wikipedia:Introduction and most of all at WP:Verifiability. The anonymous character is a detail when you're co-writing an encyclopedia with thousands of contributors, which makes the notion of "authorship" quite irrelevant. This is a collective work, and thus the only way to avoid "tendentious and downright inaccurate entries" is by citing sources, which you can easily insert in the text through Footnotes. Cheers!

- I have added a refernce to the comment made on the LLRC site, I think that it is clear that the LLRC have a dim view of the TORCH report.Cadmium
