 1） Summary

Wikipedia's collaborative culture is one of the keys to its success. Wikipedia's editors are not composed of professional writers and editors, as in traditional encyclopedias, but rather a broad and diverse community of volunteers from a variety of countries, fields, backgrounds, and experiences.

Wikipedia's collaborative culture is built on principles and values. This culture emphasizes individual and team efforts and contributions, as well as the overall interests and values of the community. It encourages open, transparent, inclusive, and diverse discussion and interaction, and emphasizes the importance of sharing and proliferation of knowledge and information.

Thus, understanding Wikipedia's collaborative culture can help us better understand how Wikipedia works and why it has become a widely recognized knowledge resource across so many topics and domains.

2）Interesting point

Wikipedia is a collection of the world's cultures, a complete whole turned into a jigsaw puzzle of cultural knowledge from around the world. Wikipedia's collaborative culture is open, free, and shared; it encourages everyone to participate in building knowledge together, while also focusing on the quality and reliability of articles. This culture is one of the keys to Wikipedia's success.

    There is a risk of misinformation and error in Wikipedia's collaborative culture, as everyone can edit pages. However, the community has taken various measures to mitigate this risk, such as vetting and monitoring mechanisms, authentication of editors, and special attention to controversial topics.

    There is no guarantee that the probability of the problem is zero. This is because even if there are many people, you cannot find 100% of the error. However, objectivity and accuracy will increase as many people collaborate to write articles.

  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?

 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 ...
