 --Summary

Remix culture, sometimes read-write culture, is a term describing a society that allows and encourages derivative works by combining or editing existing materials to produce a new creative work or product. By default, remixing culture will allow improvement, change, integration, or otherwise remixing of the work of creators and rights holders, whether or not permission is granted. Remixing has always been a part of human culture. The balance between creation and consumption has changed with technological advances in media recording and reproduction. Notable events were the invention of the printing press and analog recording and copying, leading to serious cultural and legal changes. The remix field encompasses many aspects, such as folk and vocal traditions, graphic arts, books and other information, software and other digital merchandise, music, film and video, and more.

--Interesting point

Wikipedia is an example of written remixing, encouraging the public to add their knowledge to the encyclopedia. Wiki-based sites basically allow users to remix the information presented. Amazon.com calls Wikipedia "the most exhaustive and up-to-date encyclopedia in the world" because it is edited and produced by so many people.

--Discussion point

In order for a remix culture to survive, it must be shared and created by others. Artists who participate in remix culture may suffer consequences for violating copyright or intellectual property laws. Despite the legal complexities of copyright protection, remixes remain popular in the mainstream. How should we pay attention to this situation?

    The benefits and distinctiveness created by remix culture are too valuable to be halted. To promote safe remixing, it is important to enhance awareness of copyright and remix culture.

 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.

  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?
