Reading 12--LI MINHUI

 1.Summary:

 A Wikipedia article mostly starts out as stubs, and it may become more comprehensive and excellent as more volunteers join the editor. This article tells us about the various stages in the formation of Wikipedia articles.

 The first is to start with the idea of the content of the article. If there is no article content on this topic in Wikipedia. We can create article pages about anything in Wikipedia. Even if there is content on this topic, we can also create content related to this topic that can make us interested.

 If we don't have enough time, we can write down our inspiration in a few sentences. Form a "stub". This keeps our topic alive and allows more volunteers with the same interests to edit here. This short stub article may also form a complete article in the future.

 Featured articles are generally what we consider to be the best articles on Wikipedia. Such articles are selected by review. Among the selected article candidates are essays, accuracy, neutrality, and completeness, based on selected article criteria. One of the roles of Featured Articles is to showcase the best work to people who may not know about Wikipedia. This is the best way to recruit new Wikipedians and get donations, both of which help Wikipedia a lot.

 Relevant research activities on the topic are required before starting an article. You can search Wikipedia to find relevant material. This creates good links to other related articles later on. Writing a good essay often requires additional research. A good article needs to be verifiable. Reliable sources should at best include books or journal articles. Then start writing the main content of the article. Finally, you can use media content, such as pictures and videos that match the subject content, to assist in completing the article, making the content of the article richer and more useful.

2.Interesting point:

 It's often interesting to find that, perhaps on the other side of the globe, some other contributor can check other sources after a while, or suggest a different interpretation. The composition of a commonly agreed interpretation is the most important part of a serious Wikipedia article. Wikipedia has the magic of bringing together volunteers with the same interests from all over the world.

3.Discussion point:

 What is the process usually required to complete a good Wikipedia article?

Reading 12: Wikipedia:Article development- CAI XIAOHUA

(1) Summary  Many categories of these pages can let us understand how to grow in Wikipedia.This page describes all stages of life and lists the methods we can help the article grow into the next stage.  The DYK section showcases new or expanded articles that are selected through an informal review process.   （2）Interesting point  DYK is not: A smaller-scale version of either featured content or good articles, though selected good articles do appear in the DYK box. Articles must meet the basic criteria set out on this page but do not have to be of very high quality. As DYK's main purpose is to showcase new and improved content, it is not expected that articles appearing on DYK would be considered among the best on Wikipedia. (3)Discussion After understanding these contents, what do you think the most important point of the article is?

Summary of reading material 1----HE YUNONG (3.10)

  Summary of reading material 1 --HE YUNONG (하우농) 1. Summary After reading these articles, I learned more about Wikipedia. As mentioned in the article, no one would have imagined that Wikipedia could become the top website today. Before I took the course taught, I was also a person who had only heard of wiki but could not use or understand what Wikipedia was, including wiki voyage, wiki data, etc. Because I have never been taught, I am very grateful to the professor for letting me know about wiki and joining wiki. I understand that the core of wiki is a collaborative community, where many volunteers freely and voluntarily share their knowledge; Children as young as seven or eight years old and elderly people can become volunteers in wiki. One of the characteristics of wiki is that it is free and unpaid, so all wiki people don't work on wiki for money, but to love and help others. Wiki can develop into such a top-level website today without the efforts of these volunteers, and I thi
