Article title
Thanks for creating this page, ! I had looked up Twitter verification before and seen that it was a missing topic, so I'm glad you're plugging that hole. Make sure you integrate it into the encyclopedia by linking to it from Twitter, etc. Also, I'm sure there are lots of interesting fun facts about it, so it'd make a good potential WP:DYK candidate (you'll need to nominate within 7 days).

Regarding the title, I think Twitter verification would be more appropriate for a few reasons. It doesn't need to be disambiguated, is more formal/professional while still being intelligible to casual readers, and allows for a slightly broader scope. Would you consider moving the page?

Blue check mark (Twitter) → Twitter verification – The new title wouldn't need to be disambiguated, is more formal/professional while still being intelligible to casual readers, and allows for a slightly broader scope. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 00:18, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Support, the current title is unnecessarily specific and a little bit WP:JARGONy, and it needs disambiguation, unlike the proposed article which is clear, concise, and unambiguous. —El Millo (talk) 00:41, 6 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Support per nom, and per the above. BD2412  T 00:45, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose "Blue check mark" and "blue check" are well-understood as being the common name for this; a Google test brings back hits from many sources. The parenthetical (Twitter) could be cut, as Instagram uses a similar symbol that could be documented on this page as well. 162.208.168.92 (talk) 00:59, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Support - The article is about Twitter verification. The name is less ambiguous, clearer, and more WP:PRECISE. "Blue check mark" is often used to refer to the verified users themselves (usually in a disparaging manner, ie: "oh look, another blue check mark showing their ignorance of how much groceries cost" or "yet another case of a blue check mark publicly supporting terrorism") and not in reference to the process of user's accounts being verified.

 * Support per WP:NATURALDISAMBIGUATION. Rreagan007 (talk) 21:22, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Support, clearer, more accurate, and follows WP:NATURALDISAMBIGUATION. —Granger (talk · contribs) 07:07, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Support per WP:NATURALDISAMBIGUATION and WP:CONCISE. HouseBlastertalk 14:00, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Rat verified
Should we mention #RatVerified post-Musk acquisition? It was a fully story in NYT and a less significant one in TechCrunch. I think that it should be mentioned as motivated by the frustration of the check mark change, as opposed to "well this also happened" with no explanation on why it happened. Thoughts?

"Blue check" and "blue tick" as epithets
The term "blue check" is colloquially used to describe a certain class, personality and political profile, although which profile that was changed after the 2022 reforms. It was mainly meant in a pejorative sense both before and after. Is this phenomenon worthy of inclusion? Robin S. Taylor (talk) 14:44, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
