[edit]There is a page for Identicons, but it makes more sense to have a page summarizing the area as a whole (rather than separate pages for identicons, semanticons, etc.)
Reference Implementations
[edit]I'm the author of libvisualid (I came here after I noticed that my website had been getting hits from this page), so I'm hesitant to edit the `VisualIDs for Nautilus Reference implementation of VisualIDs for the Linux Nautilus file browser' link myself, due to how it might look for me to edit a link to my own website..., but:
- The project is actually called "libvisualid", not "VisualIDs for Nautilus", and it's just a `reference implementation of VisualIDs', not specifically something for Nautilus or Linux (and, if you follow the link as it stands, you land on a page that doesn't really say anything about Nautilus or file-management but does say things about other applications).
- The hyperlink currently goes to a `current' page on my weblog; it really seems like the link `to the reference implementation' for something should actually go either to the actual project website (which itself includes links to the weblog as well as other resources), or a specific blog-post--not to whatever happens to be the latest set of blog-posts. Alternately, if a link does just go `to the weblog', shouldn't the title on the link be something general enough to be accurate, e.g.: "Joshua's blog about VisualIDs"?
I'd really appreciate if someone else could fix those issues (I did go through and fix the general attribution issues myself--including fixing my own name; those seemed like sufficiently obviously-nonconflicted edits...).

Done. It's OK with me for you to make changes like those by yourself. As long as the editor with a COI identifies as such, small edits that don't count as promotion are allowed by WP:COIU - edits when "you are certain that a neutral editor would agree that your edits improve Wikipedia" are fine. Also WP:BOLD encourages everybody to be sorry better than safe; only if someone complains should you restraint from making even those.
- For low traffic articles like this, asking at the talk page shows good faith (although it could be even better to ask at a related wikiproject). If nobody had appeared then you could have made the change yourself after a couple of weeks. Diego (talk) 14:43, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
