There are a lot of unverified profiles with pretty sparse evidence, and the whole ecosystem only works if we collectively review promotions and add corroboration. I’m noticing a handful of pending black belt and black+ profiles that seem well-supported and relatively uncontroversial, but they’ve been sitting unverified longer than I expected.

If anyone has time to take a look and help confirm or dispute, this ecosystem will be better for it...

Let's get these off of the cluttered pending verified list, or flag any concerns.

I gave my looks on the list.

I am a bit surprised when people do not redact their birthdate from the stuff they post online.

Self-defense, in all things.

Yeah, cyber punks, identity thieves, and stalkers, can usually get it other ways, but no reason to make it that easy.

If you could also take a look at mine it would be appreciated.

I voted up a few.

I took a quick look at a few of them and the common thread seems to be that their instructors haven't verified them. In some cases their instructors aren't even on the site. Shouldn't really matter for the purposes of this site, but I'm sure there are those that highly value that for verification. I'll take a closer look when I've got more time.
