Reading 2--LI MINHUI

 1)Summary:

 This article I think shows us the development process of Wikipedia. From the bud of an idea to the continuous development, it finally became the top website in the world. We usually set some goals before doing anything, and then keep working hard towards this goal. The ultimate goal of Wikipedia is "the sum of all human knowledge". And scholars in different fields have different perspectives on this goal. For example, the accumulation of Wikipedia in the eyes of thinkers is a force in the world and will drive a new unifying force in human affairs. In fact, I think Wikipedia has indeed achieved this. Wikipedia has multiple language versions, which means that the same issue will be followed by different people in the world, and we can see different points of view.

 The formation of Wikipedia is the sum of the wisdom of many people. The source of the idea of the personal encyclopedia device is an American electrical engineer. And he came up with the idea of a memory bank that people could query with superfast speed and flexibility. I think this is the formation idea of the search function in Wikipedia now, we can quickly search for the knowledge we want to query. Great convenience has been formed.

 The birth of the encyclopedia catalog is the idea of the Belgian Outlet. He found that if he recorded everything that flashed in his mind, things often would not have a follow-up development. But if all kinds of materials are collected, everything will be connected. In this way, the books will quickly become compact, durable and easy to make and store. In addition to this idea, he himself was an internationalist and made great contributions to the establishment of UNESCO. This laid the foundation for Wikipedia's international, multilingual and collaborative features. An encyclopedia can bring together all the scattered and ineffective spiritual wealth of the world into a similar content of common understanding.

 With the continuous development of technology, the new technology of computer network has also brought new possibilities for the establishment of Wikipedia. As long as there is an Internet, anyone can edit content that interests them, create new pages, and expand the contributions of others. Wikipedia can also provide free e-books for all mankind through innovative ways of information interaction. I think the sharing of knowledge has greatly helped the progress of human civilization.

 It is moving that Wikipedia can bring people together, that there is a vibrant shared culture among Wikipedia users that contributes to Wikipedia's coherence. The reason why Wikipedia is trusted by users is because of its strict creation standards. Any article that needs to be linked must meet the requirements of general access, modification, translation and citation and need to indicate the source. There is a basis for uploading any information. Unprofessional and irresponsible behavior is prevented. Improved the quality of Wikipedia even more. The establishment of Wikipedia and the realization of its vision are a long process and the sum of human wisdom.

2)Interesting point:

 People anywhere in the world can read any book and any file in their own space at any time. Wikipedia's greatest strength is that it doesn't have to limit itself to printing and typesetting, but can become a kind of clearinghouse for ideas.

3)Discussion points:

The article mentions that wikis can be implemented almost immediately, require minimal maintenance, and generally have low risk. How can a website bear a huge number of users with minimal maintenance?

 1. Summary The article argues that understanding Wikipedia requires appreciating its community and collaborative culture, but also recognizing the challenges it faces from personal differences and external threats. Despite its collaborative nature, Wikipedia has been shaped by authorial leadership, with an informal benevolent dictator guiding the community and mediating disputes. However, this leadership role can be challenging to balance, as new responsibilities and authority may arise. The article uses examples, such as Sanger's reflections on his departure from the community and discussions about Wales's role, to illustrate the delicate balance of leadership in the Wikipedia community. 2. Interesting As an AI language model, I do not have personal opinions, but I can identify some points that may be interesting to readers. One interesting point is how the author describes the culture and community of Wikipedia and how it has been shaped by authorial leadership. The idea of ...

  1. Summary After reading this article, I understand that Wikipedia articles must have reliable sources, and the opinions in the sources should be neutral. Articles should be based on reliable, independent, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. This means that we publish only the analysis, views, and opinions of reliable authors, and not those of Wikipedians who have read and interpreted primary source material for themselves. 2. Interesting points News headlines—including subheadlines—are not a reliable source.  I think this is important because some news headlines are written to grab the reader's attention quickly and briefly; their news content may be exaggerated or lack context, and even sometimes contain sensational claims. 3. Discussion points Do you know how to test reliable sources?
