'Verified' as in,
 * you're really a producer and not someone just making a page to make a page. As per the Wikipedia example.
 * that you really are the producer in question and not an imposter. This too has happened before, it gets ugly very quickly.
 * that if verified,- permission of your works and possible bits of your life could be displayed for hundreds. Because we have ended up deleting pages/images/songs due to people contacting Wikia staff about privacy or copyright issues.

It's a high alert type of attitude with the admins here (ie. me), not a you're not welcome, approach.

That and the internet can't really convey tonal emotion.
