You raise an important point, you should specify if you are recording the incident/aftermath or directly involved. You don't need to tag your name, just credit any of the evidence appropriately. For example...you can provide a witness statement if you are a witness or provide the name for another's witness statement.

The purpose is a true early warning and mobilisation system. Also to begin to develop the skills to decentralise journalism and ultimately bring reputation and truth to journalism in a way that helps people.
