This task is also known as authorship obfuscation or authorship anonymisation. Stylometry poses a significant privacy challenge in its ability to unmask anonymous authors or to link pseudonyms to an author's other identities, which, for example, creates difficulties for whistleblowers, activists, and hoaxers and fraudsters.
Stylometry grew out of earlier techniques of analyzing texts for evidence of authenticity, author identity, and other questions. The modern practice of the discipline received publicity from the study of authorship problems in English Renaissance drama. Researchers and readers observed that some playwrights of the era had distinctive patterns of language preferences, and attempted to use those ...
In 2015, a team of postdoctoral researchers from Princeton University, Drexel University, the University of Maryland, and the University of Goettingen as well as researchers from the U.S. Army Research Laboratory developed a program authorship attribution system that could determine the author of a program from a sample pool with programs ...

For example, the Armenian History has been falsely attributed to an Armenian historian named seventh-century Sebeos, and it is ...
To aid with attribution at the end of a few sentences, consider using a general attribution template such as the {{citation-attribution}} template for public-domain sources or {} for compatibly licensed sources, {{Free-content attribution}} which is designed around material with an externally posted license, or use a source-specific attribution ...
