== Real Connections, Real Community ==
[[Image:RealPerson.png|left]]People and organizations no sooner start to take you seriously, as when you act with responsibility as a real person. Using your real name, backed up by things like your picture and interests, makes real world interactions in culture, politics and business possible, realistic, effective and useful.
Is a person more likely to join a community online, if they see that there are real people involved? Are they less likely to participate in an online community with characters like RedDog88, Snivelcritter, etc?

Professionalism, trust, and community all emerge, when real people are involved, standing behind their work. Using your real name substantiates your commitment to [[Transparency| transparency]] and allows others to better collaborate with you. It also creates a greater investment in your work.
Using a real name, however, is not a requirement for participation -- look around, get your bearings, and once you come to know the vibrant, trusting community at [[AboutUs]], make the switch.
You'll see many of our community members making posts, edits and suggestion using their ''real names''. We encourage you to do the same.
== Connecting to the Core ==
[[RealPeople]] is central to our mission at AboutUs of connecting people and organizations and it provides a vital component to our Core of values. The openness of [[RealPeople]] requires a trust in the community that arises only when you [[AssumeGoodFaith]]. It is also helps catalyze the communication necessary to creating a consensus, a vital part of the communal work of [[ItsAboutUs]]. Using real names also helps the effort to [[BeABuilder]] because it allows community members to recognize each others' accomplishments and reward and recognize each other.
== Other Communities that also Prefer RealPeople ==

== Okay! Switch Me! ==
I'd like to switch to my real name but my account is already using a [[Pseudonym]]. Please switch me to my real name:
* '''Switch name here''' ''NOTE: Sometimes it takes a little time to get noticed, but the switch will happen :-)''
* [[User:NickBurrus|Nick Burrus]] was [[User:Skydork|Skydork]]
* [[User:cindy krcmarik|cindy krcmarik]] was [[User:Ckrcmarik]]
* [[Drew Myers]] ... was [[User:Dclacroix]]
* [[DannyG]] ... was [[User:Master Baitor]]

WikiCommonWealth
MeatballWiki | RecentChanges | Random Page | Indices | CategoriesCurrently a lot of activities goes behind the scenes to take profit of the giant non-monetary wealth, created in the wiki communities. If the wikizen don't wake up and don't take reponsibilities for themselves, we might see soon trademarks like WikiCommonWealth, created and used by people, not necessarily engaged in intrinsic wiki contributions themselves. Hopefully the author is in error, supposing this. Or what would be even worse, there might be domains registered by wikizen, who have not found the nurturing open wikis, where they can CreateAndShareWealth, straight from the beginning and not by speculations and just "sitting it out". Another pitfall in the view of the author would be the initiation of StayPoor wikis, where only ideas of a Social Common Wealth are discussed, but where the wikizens themselves are only playing the role of zero cost workers.
If you search for Google:CommonWealth and Google:Wiki you get an exorbitant list of hits. Therefore some algorithm might have registered the domain: Google:WikiCommonWealth, because it is on the crossroads, where business promises to prosper. Pursuing the vision of a SocialCommonWealth, the author now registered WikiCommonWealth.info and *.biz to save, what can be be saved for wikizen, who want to collaborate in an Google:OpenBusinessWiki and not as invisible speculators.
Discussion The author puts this contribution in his blog, where additional cues can be found, to invite peers, to join the movement. -- [fridemar]
