capjamesg Do we have a wiki page on the name we want someone to use when they cite / reference our blog posts?
#
capjamesg A discussion came up yesterday about preferences to be referred to by our first name vs. full name when someone references our blog.
#
capjamesg I don't know if this already has a term.

#
[Ana_R] that's a very good question - I haven't stumbled upon a page like that. I normally try to find whatever people have on the author/creator meta tags in the `head`
#
[Ana_R] I don't have a preference but I've noticed people either quote me with Ana Rodrigues or the title of my blog. While i don't mind either, I would like to make people's life easier when in doubt.

[artlung] I look at about pages for that. Occasionally folks have no such page that self describes and I’ll check places like Mastodon for the name (not username) they use there.

[schmarty] this was always a challenge for This Week in the IndieWeb Audio Edition!
#
capjamesg Yeah, this could be a good section for an about page.

[mattl]2 Do you use a Creative Commons license? You can also use metadata to specify that.

SDavidPrince What is Peace Protocol
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "Peace Protocol" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "Peace Protocol is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
Loqi hey SDavidPrince: would you mind moving this more technical conversation (protocol) to #indieweb-dev? thanks!
#
SDavidPrince Peace Protocol a WordPress plugin that enables WordPress site administrators to authenticate as their website and send cryptographically signed “peace” messages to other WordPress sites running the same protocol and/or indie auth.

#
[aciccarello] capjamesg, I recall seeing some communication preference page documented in the wiki

#
[aciccarello] What is a communication protocol?
#
Loqi communication-preferences is a page (sometimes called communication protocols) on some personal sites or wikis which describe how people want to be contacted, and also methods of communication to avoid https://indieweb.org/communication_protocol
#
[aciccarello] More focused on direct communication but still seems semi-relevant

#
[tantek]2 I think this is overthinking it a bit? If you're citing a blog post and it's marked up properly with h-entry and an h-card for the author, use the name from that specific h-card since that's what the publisher has publicly associated with that post
