11. A system, comprising:
-
a profile module to include a number of wiki profiles and a number of claimed profiles, wherein the wiki profiles are convertible to claimed profiles when users claim the wiki profiles; a process module to enable the users to claim the wiki profiles, one per each email address, so that the wiki profiles convert to claimed profiles upon an oath, declaration, and supplemental identification pledge of a claimant; and a resolve module to arbitrate disputes between the claimant and at least one disputing claimant through an electronic key verification technique. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method comprising:
-
associating address information with profiles of a geo-spatial social network; enabling users a geo-fenced distance away from a particular profile to add content to the particular profile; converting the particular profile to a proprietary profile that only is editable by a claimant when the claimant submits a claiming request of the profile; temporarily blocking the proprietary profile when a disputing party challenges the claimant'"'"'s dominion over the proprietary profile; and releasing the proprietary profile to one of the claimant and the disputing party based on results of an electronic dispute resolution process in which a personally identifiable data is requested within a threshold window of time. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
