href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:PB" class="extiw" title="de:WP:PB">Persönliche Bekanntschaften</a></i>) where the <i>community of active Wikipedians in real life</i> (→ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup" class="extiw" title="w:Wikipedia:Meetup">meetings</a>, associations, etc) is introduced. All <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Unified_login" class="extiw" title="meta:Help:Unified login">Wikimedia project users</a> can sign up with their user name in this project and other users can confirm that they have met this user face-to-face. Every user can sign up and receive confirmations with their main account which is known to other users. Wikipedians may publish the primary account that they use — sub-accounts are not accepted here. With the aim to improve the working environment and reduce, or eliminate, doubts about the identity of other users. </p><p>This system of mutual confirmations is currently only working in de.wikipedia but is also accessible for all other users via the <a href="/wiki/Special:CentralAuth" title="Special:CentralAuth">single user login</a> system, and its main pages have been translated in many languages, including English. It is easy to use and without the need to have an external review of the identity, and takes data protection and anonymity on the Internet into account. For disadvantages, see the <a href="#FAQ">FAQ</a>.
