As for the issue of confidentiality, I think it would be useful to everyone if a policy could be publicly stated somewhere. A reasonable presumption is that all such issues can be resolved by just renaming the case in question to "Anonymous" - yes people can identify the case if they dig, but that's true anyway. If there are reasons why that policy is oversimplistic in practice, a brief description of why would be of great benefit, I believe.

Greetings,

Let's be clear that the Gerontology Wiki is part of the WIKIA system...it's more like an apartment lease than a private home. It's not a private organization. As such, we cannot expect the Gerontology Wiki to be used for anything other than public use. If information can be cited in a public, reliable source, it may be cited here. If it cannot, it doesn't belong here.Ryoung122 (talk) 03:38, August 8, 2017 (UTC)
