    There is a way to faithfully follow the guidelines provided by Wikipedia. Also, you need to respect the other person. Many people should not blindly deny the other person's opinion in the process of editing in cooperation. Editors with opposing views should convey their thoughts in a friendly and detailed manner.

 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.
