Extra credit:Summary notes of four tips for creating Wikipedia, editing Wikipedia -CAI XIAOHUA

Wikipedia is an excellent place where we can document our expertise and create fact-based touchpoints for our interests. The site's mission is altruistic, Wikipedia administrators guard against content with an obvious purpose, and conscious propaganda is easily punished. There are certain strategies we can employ to increase the chances of an entry meeting Wikipedia standards.

Share four points for attention:

1. Is the topic compelling and relevant?

Wikipedia defines "notability" as having "garnered widespread worldwide attention" and can be verified by "reliable third-party sources". This is done by examining the extent to which the topic is covered in the media and various publications. Checking out a topic can be as simple as typing it into a search engine and looking for mentions in current news and books. However, there are many topics missing from mainstream media or books, such as places and even historical landmarks. In such cases, census websites (e.g. Office of India or Commissioner-General of Registration and Census) or data portals (e.g. India's Open Government Data Platform) can provide authoritative information. Every piece of information in your entry should be referenced by linking inline source code so that anyone can verify that the references you provide are genuine.

If the topic you are creating an article for fails the popularity test, you should wait for the topic to gain more popularity. It is wise not to waste time creating an article that can be quickly deleted by an admin for lack of credible sources or popularity.

Wikipedia also has its own stylebook. Before attempting to create a new article, make sure you have done everything to make sure you have written your entry according to the guidelines.

2. How to write to make the content more secure?

First, to prepare yourself, take some time to go through Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for creating new Wikipedia articles. Take it easy. Some policy-related pages can be quite long, and you might find it difficult to grasp them all in one go. Think of mastering Wikipedia's policies as a long-term project. Bookmark policy pages and browse them often, even if you know nothing about creating entries. Wikipedia articles are reviewed by thousands of voluntary editors, many of whom make minor mistakes in the beginning.

If you create an article that deserves attention and offers citations but also might get removed, it doesn't mean you're a bad writer. Even the best drivers from right-hand traffic countries can have problems when switching to left-hand traffic roads! Do not be discouraged!

3. Add articles like growing flowers

Write your articles in a sandbox, a space where you can work with the design and content of your pages before publishing them. You can learn more about text formatting (e.g. designing headings, hyperlinks, and using bold or italic attributes) simply by opening any Wikipedia article and clicking the "Edit" button. If you edit using the classic source editor option ("Edit Source") instead of VisualEditor (a rich text editor that doesn't require viewing Wikimarkup formatting), keep existing articles in edit mode, side by side following the format . For example, I use articles about Niagara Falls to help me write about waterfalls in the area. If you have any questions, please contact the event's editor or administrator on its talk page. You can ask questions and someone is sure to help. Make sure to ask for help, and gradually increase the length of the article in the sandbox instead of creating it too quickly.

4. How to publish articles

The process of publishing an article is known as "moving" the sandbox article to the article namespace.

When you hover over the arrow, first find the "Move" option next to the "Edit" button. Once enabled in the preferences, clicking "Edit" will take you to the VisualEditor. You can simplify all these steps with VisualEditor.

Wikipedia's content translation tool enables you to translate articles. On the English Wikipedia, this feature is limited to users who have been registered for more than a month and have made more than 500 edits. This policy may vary by language. I find it amazing that there are 326 different languages ​​of Wikipedia around the world edited by hundreds of thousands of volunteer editors.

Wikipedia is more stringent than China's Baidu Baike, because once Wikipedia finds that the content does not meet the rules, it will delete Baike and suspend the creator's account, while China's Baidu Baike generally does not delete Baike and suspend accounts.
