[Summary]

      Wikimedia Commons is a repository of free-use images, sounds, and other media files. Anyone can contribute to Wikimedia Commons and use the content for any purpose, even commercial ones, as long as they attribute the original creator. All content on Wikimedia Commons is released under a Creative Commons license or is in the public domain. Uploading copyrighted content without permission is not allowed on Wikimedia Commons. The Wikimedia Commons community can discuss and decide whether or not to delete content that does not meet the site's policies. The site has a system of categorization and tagging to help users find the media they need. Wikimedia Commons also has a tool to help users find images that are missing from articles on Wikipedia. The site has a detailed FAQ section that provides answers to common questions and issues related to using and contributing to Wikimedia Commons.


[Interesting point]

     One interesting point about Wikimedia Commons is that it allows for the sharing and use of media files for commercial purposes. This means that businesses, organizations, and individuals can find high-quality images and other media files to use in their marketing materials, presentations, or other projects, without worrying about copyright issues. This is a unique feature that sets Wikimedia Commons apart from many other image repositories and can be particularly useful for small businesses or individuals who may not have the resources to create their own media content.


[Discussion angle]


       A potential discussion point regarding Wikimedia Commons could be the balance between allowing for the free sharing and use of media files while also respecting copyright laws. While the site has policies in place to prevent the uploading of copyrighted content without permission, there may still be cases where copyrighted material slips through the cracks. How can the Wikimedia Commons community best handle these situations?

 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?
