 1. Summary

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and an open content community at the same time. Neutral views and integrity are at the core of this collaboratively produced encyclopedia. "Neutral" should not be understood as a description of the encyclopedia, but as a The wishes and intent positions of its contributors.

Mutual aid and mutual struggle are the laws of animal life, so of course a world encyclopedia built by thousands of strangers will not be without scenes of mutual struggle. This is where an informal benevolent dictator is needed to gently guide the community, mediate Internal disputes among those who are well-intentioned, and ward off those who are dishonest.

Nothing is static, including Wikipedia, but it is changing for the better. I believe that Wikipedia will not disappear, and neither will the contributors to Wikipedia.


2. Interesting points

I find it interesting that people use wiki as a buzzword to imply that something can magically change business, government, etc. In the past, wiki was considered impossible by most people, but now it has proved its strength to everyone and has been recognized by everyone. It changed the rigid rules of previous encyclopedias and created a new collaborative encyclopedia.


3. Discussion points

 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?
