Chad Horohoe started a project whose goal is to allow selected Wikimedians to access third-party academic publishing sites to help with content verifiability. The authentication challenges this entails are not trivial; Ryan Lane is also involved in this project, particularly because of his previous experience with OpenID (which may be used as a mechanism for tying to CentralAuth).

This project was mainly on hold in July.

Academic Access to Poor People

Some are poor in the minds of the ignorant and it's not a bad thing, not at all. Some would like to point out that, Mr. Jefferson prognosticated that LatinoAmerica would become of high importance for the United States and America has not done too little nor too much for such community. Not all Hispanic Americans are the same, some have the ability to adapt in a foreign land and simply because some come from Third World Countries, it does not mean that they are poor nor it means that they are rich, it means that most of them are hard-working people. The Home of the Brave and the Land of the Free will always be the same and even the American Continent if the minds of many do not wake up. Therefore, it establishes socio-economic status and racial conflict. Thank the poor for helping this country, the middle class for its perseverance and the rich for being the rich, why be thankful for the rich? Because they have worked hard to obtain such socio-economic status. Society will always be constantly changing, but it will always remain the same. Tremendous academic potentials could be developed at the University of Virginia and since society remains the same, such academic potentials will not be cared for nor even looked at. All of us, humans, have an amazing story to tell, wherever one comes from. Though, it is important to highlight and it is difficult to tell whom has the academic potential to study at the Prestigious University of Virginia. America still remains a puzzle for many and it saddens many. If only us, humans, knew of the academic potential that we possess, it still remains a puzzle for many documented and undocumented Americans. Notice it is not an argument, but an important note that some people should read because the human mind is curious at all times; therefore, it will help many solve the puzzle if they have not. Though, it requires lot's of thinking and the ability to change for the best Nation in the World, the United States of America.
