Reading 2（CAI YAYU)

 1.   Summarize 

      Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia, compiled by volunteers with the aim of being a "free Internet encyclopedia". Wikipedia is operated by the Center for Free Information Network, an American non-profit organization. The Center was founded on July 1, 2001, by a group of scientists and other distinguished contributors to the field of science and technology from the United States and Europe. The Center aims to create a global encyclopedia based on Wikipedia.

The organization has over 10,000 volunteers, mainly researchers, teachers, engineers and other professionals from the United States and Europe. The organization is dedicated to making wiki knowledge available to all. Its founding goal is to create a free and open Internet where anyone can freely use the information and materials in that network.

2.   Interesting point

     Wikipedia is free in the sense that it is open to anyone who wants to come in and see what it is like. It is also a free encyclopedia, and anyone can modify or edit it.

     Wikipedia itself is not restricted in any way, and anyone can modify or edit it. And, before he edits it, he gets the consent of everyone else. If during the editing process, someone raises an objection, he will go and find the relevant people to discuss it.

      And these people are from different countries, different cultural backgrounds, different experiences and different ideas.

In such an open platform, the best and brightest talents from all over the world, in all fields, come together here to exchange and share ideas and thoughts through the network, providing better and higher quality information for everyone.

    I think Wikipedia has been as objective and neutral as possible in its editorial requirements. However, due to the opposition of ideology, there will still be deviations in the understanding of values.

    Because everyone's basic cognitions and values are different, neutral and objective standards are different in everyone's mind and it's more practical to find comments that we can relate to.

 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.

  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?
