User:Vavlap/Wikipedia Certificates

One of main Wikipedia critic is that contained information is sometimes incorrect. Reason is that everyone can add information, i.e. there is no good mechanism to check the validity of information.

Aims of presented here method is a mechanism to solve this problem. So Universities and Institutes would be possible to create own certificates and signature some Wikipedia pages, i.e. to guaranty that information is correct.

Method
The certificate will implement with Digital signature methods - no password based. Wikipedia save the right to change the certificate procedure to prevent from some type of attacks.

Obtaining the certificates
Requirement to get a right to issue a Wikipedia certificates is to have a web page, and also it must have enough unique visits per day.

Procedure to obtain a certificate is as follow. It is required web page of organization, which would issue certificates. Next it is necessary to [register Wikipedia certificate]. After registration a special counter must me putted on root web page - with it Wikipedia can check is it true, that the site have enough visits. After 30 days, if the site obtain required number of visits it would be accepted. The site owner must put public key digital signature on sub page "wikipedia.cert". In [How to create certificate] it is explained, how to do this. 30 days, after acceptance account would be activated.

How to subscribe
In the wikipedia pages… Any subscribed document must contain the valid date. Certificates can also cancel validity of old subscribed documents (or even series of documents).

View limited by certificates
The is Universities (even countries), which block wikipedia access. This would not be necessary, if they use limited access to wikipedia, i.e. only this part of its contents, which is subscribed by some prestige university (for example Cambridge University). Instead of block wikipedia.org it is enough to replace request ...wikipedia.org... with ...wikipedia.org...&certificate=http://site/page.htm where "http://site/page.htm" is certificate restrictions.
