1） Summary

While "wiki" is often used as shorthand for Wikipedia, which is a collaborative online encyclopedia, the term "wiki" actually refers to a type of software platform that allows multiple users to create, edit, and collaborate on web pages or documents.
In other words, a wiki is a technology platform that enables collaborative editing and content creation by multiple users. Wikipedia is one of the most well-known examples of a wiki, but there are many other wikis that are used for different purposes, such as collaborative project management or knowledge sharing within organizations.

2）Interesting point

While there are certainly challenges associated with collaborative content creation, Wikipedia has proven to be a highly effective platform for harnessing the collective intelligence of its user community. It has become one of the largest and most popular sources of information on the internet, with millions of articles in hundreds of different languages.

3）Discussion

What does the success of Wikipedia show? Will there be a second 'Wikipedia'?

    I think the results of Wikipedia show that free knowledge sharing is possible and I think there will be platforms similar to Wikipedia but different from it, for example more focused on user discussion or just on knowledge sharing.

    I think the success of Wikipedia show us people in a positive state about sharing knowledge with each other! It will be hard to emulate the success of Wikipedia, which is now arguably the best at this kind of collaborative community.

    For example, Wikipedia has a low barrier to entry and is easy to gather popularity, its rich content brings a large number of users to participate, and its large user base ensures the quality of its content. However, in order to achieve the same effect as Wikipedia and to show a positive development trend, the pure Wiki model represented by Wikipedia must be improved to some extent, such as adapting to the higher interaction requirements of members in professional and organizational fields, improving the single text-based interaction mode We also need to enrich the interaction channels.

 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?
