I am sure you will get A LOT of suggestions about the site whether it’s what to add or questioning Wikipedia as a verification tool (ppl should get over it, it’s a legit starting point). My thought or suggestions is a little different. It is not lost on me HOW MUCH work you&#39;re already doing. Maybe in the future or as a side project you could add a &quot;learn by doing&quot; tab or something to that effect. In this tab you could post a youtube video or picture or story (really anything that has ALREADY been verified). You could then task your followers or readers to use the tools you&#39;ve shared with them to verify some aspect of what you shared. Allowing them to practice what you’ve preached in a safe environment(one where wannabe BrownMosses don’t post nonsense online using half assed techniques) and having the ability to learn, gain feedback and results through peer collaboration in forums or from contributors. Essentially, putting the users of Bellingcat in the role you have undertaken as citizen investigator. I think this would drive participation and be a great way to truly learn your techniques. You would be gamifiying the Bellingcat experience. There could be a subscription service almost like your teaching a class or you can use it to just drive traffic. I teach economics and have gamified my class and there is a greater participation and understanding compared to when I was just a lecturer. This could be something that drives major traffic( although I hope you don&#39;t need to drive traffic I hope in the brilliance of what you&#39;ve done it becomes a self-sufficient entity). Thank you for all you have done and continue to do. Mr. Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00489002047703107191noreply@blogger.com
