| Nov 12, 2017 at 20:10 | comment | added | Carl Mummert | One perfectly ethical way is to simply give credit in the prose of the paper, just as you would for an unpublished result that someone told you out loud at a conference. | |

But they are bound by moderator agreement not to disclose this information to other users. (Of course, this is different from what Andrés E. Caicedo describes in his comment.) | |

| Nov 4, 2017 at 17:11 | comment | added | Gerhard Paseman | If you want the member to "out" themselves to you, while still preserving their anonymity, you should not tell us what question title is involved. I might be curious enough to read all your answered questions and corresponding papers to find out, but probably not, whereas you make it too easy by specifying which question. While Chris Godsil has a good suggestion, you should still give the poster the opportunity (ask them in a comment or through moderators) to unmask for this paper.

| Nov 4, 2017 at 12:55 | comment | added | Andrés E. Caicedo | Once, I left a comment indicating I would like to give the author proper credit, and asked them to contact me (they did). Another time, I asked the moderators to contact the author and ask them to contact me so proper credit could be given (they did). | |
