1. Summary

Wikimedia Commons is a diverse media repository operated by volunteers. It serves as a central hub that enables the free use of licensed resources such as photos, music, video clips, and more for various projects, including Wikimedia. The materials uploaded here are free but should possess meaning and value, and above all, comply with copyright laws. It is recommended to read the FAQ, which provides various examples and guidelines on licensing issues, before contributing to Wikimedia Commons. The criteria for evaluating data as high-quality and valuable on Wikimedia Commons can change over time.

2. interesting/useful point

The discussion about how the criteria for excellent data may not be universally applicable in the future was intriguing, suggesting that Wikimedia Commons can adapt quickly if advanced technologies and new media formats emerge.


3. Discussion

Licensing rules is complex and strive to be international. However, on the flip side, in some cases, there might be works that are copyright-free but lack means of proving compliance with Wikimedia Commons' licensing regulations. Allowing such works may potentially compromise the rigor of Wikimedia Commons, but it could also prevent the loss of some valuable materials. Should such cases be strictly prohibited or allowed?

 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.
