 1.Summary

Wikipedia plays a culturally important role, but as an open platform, not only verified documents but also false documents with the intention of deceiving others are produced in large quantities. This movement started with Stephen Colbert, who used the neologism "Wikiality," which is a term that ridicules the idea that the truth of a Wikipedia document is established by consensus rather than factual accuracy. Following this, as many users created false information in Wikipedia documents, the operators took measures to restrict editing by new accounts. Such deception continues to exist to the point where "List of hoaxes on Wikipedia" exists, and if false documents are not caught early on, they can persist for a long time.

2.Interesting

It's very interesting to form and archive a list of false documents, not just delete them. and The meaning of "wikiality" used by critics of Wikipedia is interesting. Colbert criticized Wikipedia users for believing that the truth approved by consensus is true, not seeking facts, but because he personally thought that such an agreement would make it more realistic, it is very interesting to know the opposite view.The meaning of "wikiality" used by critics of Wikipedia is interesting.

3.Discussion

Do you agree that the Wikipedia documents that Stephen Colbert talked about are written by "truth by agreement" rather than by "complete integrity"?

 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.

  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.

Discussion points Do you know how to test reliable sources?
