Description

If you go to a province, for instance The Netherlands > North Holland,
you see the different cities that have been created because litter was picked in them.
At this moment you see 'created by: Anonymous'.

If you go to 'settings > Privacy', indeed it mentions that:
"Your name and username will not appear in the Created By section of any locations you add to the database."

Probably something on the todo-list, but could be nice if this was working.
(where people can choose with what name they want to be mentioned: name or username (which is 'unique identifier' in personal-details-screen?) or maybe even 'none'
