Reading 5--LI MINHUI

 1.Summary:

 Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia that has always kept its promise of being free to all. With hundreds of languages, Wikipedia provides knowledge to people all over the world. In today's fragmented and commercialized Internet world, a miracle of intellectual utopia has been created.

 Wikipedia's culture can use a jigsaw puzzle metaphor to explain the interdependence of neutrality and integrity in collaboratively building the encyclopedia. In this social platform full of fake news and conspiracy theories, Wikipedia, which pursues neutrality and is more credible, has become a safe haven at the center of the information storm. Anyone who has the pursuit of knowledge can find the shelter of knowledge in Wikipedia.

 Wikipedia was born out of a collaborative process of mutual aid and mutual struggle. The reason for Wikipedia's success is not only technical support, but more importantly, it is highly collaborative. As a community-based encyclopedia project, collaboration plays a necessary role. Well-intentioned community norms constructively facilitate collaboration on Wikipedia. So paying attention to community and culture is necessary to understand Wikipedia.

 With the advent of the Internet age, Internet-related companies continue to rise and become industry giants. While Wikipedia is growing, it is also facing growing pains. But it is still the largest not-for-profit website in the world, and it is increasingly becoming an indispensable presence of the entire Internet. Wikipedia has grown far beyond anyone's expectations, and its very existence is a miracle in itself.

2.Interesting point:

 The Wikipedia logo is an incomplete world of characters, each part representing a different language. It needs to be like any puzzle, the pieces have to fit together to be complete. This metaphor is very interesting. From this logo, we can see that Wikipedia needs collaboration to be complete. And representing every language makes Wikipedia more united.

3.Discussion point:

 Many people are concerned about the quality of Wikipedia, the development of community and culture. So when we are collaborating with strangers to build encyclopedias, how should we ensure the quality of Wikipedia without tacit understanding?

 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?
