:That's my impression (it's very like an account-creation process, supplying free-text to be reviewed at leisure only after attaching the user to a UID with no more verification other than "click on this emailed link to confirm this is your contact details", rather than an application which can be denied or blackballed). But I don't delve into (or control) particularly privileged data-sources where it could be far more strict (yet not so much that it can't be handled by an easy to access web-form), so would also be interested in hearing the facts-of-life from beyond the more open-data side of things.

I would say there's also some similarity to the classic [https://xkcd.com/386/ 386: Duty Calls]. --[[Special:Contributions/108.162.245.248|108.162.245.248]] 03:35, 15 February 2024 (UTC) | I would say there's also some similarity to the classic [https://xkcd.com/386/ 386: Duty Calls]. --[[Special:Contributions/108.162.245.248|108.162.245.248]] 03:35, 15 February 2024 (UTC) |
