Extra credit：Summary notes on what to do if you fail to create a Wikipedia page —CAI XIAOHUA

If you try to create a Wikipedia page (build a Wikipedia page) and it gets rejected, there are a few things to consider carefully before resubmitting:

1. The most common reason for Wikipedia pages not to be reviewed is lack of popularity.

You tried the first word, and the Wikipedia and Wikipedia page you submitted were rejected, so don't continue to submit unless you can improve the page and its source immediately.

How to increase popularity? Here are two ways to improve:

a. Strengthen your PR strategy. Being remembered in major publications is one of the most challenging marketing tasks for a business. Your options and opportunities will largely depend on your industry, often determined by a combination of: great product, industry disruption, employer brand and CSR activities, link-worthy content, well-known employees and brand ambassadors, Actively monitor public opinion and seek news opportunities.Also, it's worth noting that not all media coverage is fair.

b. Try Wikipedia in other languages. Does your business originate in a non-English-speaking country? Then it might get more coverage in local media than international media.

When resubmitting, strengthen reference materials: Wikipedia emphasizes the reliability and authority of information sources. So if your page gets rejected, you need to make sure your references are strong enough to back up your claim. You need to back up your views with reliable and recognized sources, and you need to avoid unreliable or controversial sources.

2. Review content: Before resubmitting a Wikipedia page, you need to review your content. See if there is anything that needs to be changed or fixed. You need to make sure your content complies with Wikipedia's requirements and doesn't violate any rules. If you are not sure whether you meet the criteria, you can ask other wiki editors for help and advice.

3. Check language and style: Wikipedia has high requirements for language and style. If your page is rejected, you need to check that your language and style are up to standard. You need to make sure your language is clear, concise, and encyclopedic. You need to avoid colloquial or informal language.

4. Be patient when resubmitting: If your Wikipedia page is rejected, you need to be patient. Before resubmitting, you need to carefully review your content and make sure it meets the standards. You need to follow Wikipedia's rules and guidelines, and it takes time to create a high-quality page.

In summary, if your Wikipedia page is rejected, you need to revisit your content and strengthen your references, checking language and style. Be patient when resubmitting, and carefully follow Wikipedia's rules and guidelines.

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.

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
