Reading 7 -- GAO PEIYUN

 -Summary

Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published sources, ensuring that they cover all majority and significant minority views that appear in those sources. If you can't find a reliable source on a topic, Wikipedia shouldn't have an article about it. Articles should be based on reliable, independent, published sources and have a reputation for fact checking and accuracy. This means that we only publish analysis, opinions and opinions from reliable authors, not wikipedians who read and interpret the primary source material for themselves.

Wikipedia's reliability concerns Wikipedia and its user-generated editing model, particularly the validity, verifiability, and authenticity of its English language version. It is written and edited by volunteer editors who generate online content through community-generated policies and guidelines under the editorial supervision of other volunteer editors.

Seeking public trust is an important part of Wikipedia's publishing philosophy.

-Interesting point

Wikipedia articles need to present a neutral perspective. However, reliable sources need not be neutral, unbiased, or objective. Sometimes, non-neutral sources are the best source to support information about different views on a topic.

-Discussion point

Some "market-oriented" external measures suggest that a large audience trusts Wikipedia in one way or another. Can you trust Wikipedia?

    Because Wikipedia has strict information source management, I think most of Wikipedia's information is trustworthy. Of course, we also need to recognize whether the information and sources are out of date when reading.

    I think the information on Wikipedia is reliability. Although it is inevitable that some incorrect information will appear due to its volunteer editing model, but it has so many users that the information can be edited several times to achieve reliability.

 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?
