 1. SUMMARY

Wikipedia's "Article development" page provides guidance and help on how Wikipedia contributors create new documents and develop existing documents. This page describes the procedures and principles that Wikipedia's community must follow to create efficient, high-quality documents. The stages of the article include Uncreated articles, Stubs, and Developing article. The characteristics of articles written at each stage are different. For example, Uncreated articles should be searched first to see if there are already content that will be the subject of the article. Stubs is a very short form of article. In this way, Wikipedia is providing useful help to editors who want to write articles. It also gives advice on the process of developing articles. There are ways to find related articles and books and seek opinions from other colleagues through Peer review.


2. INTERESTING POINT


Wikipedia is thought to be nicer to editors than you think. In particular, users who have just started editing Wikipedia articles begin to adapt through these help provided by Wikipedia. Advice allows you to decide which article to edit and what topic to start writing. This familiarity with writing and editing articles will reduce the burden of writing articles and enrich the amount of Wikipedia articles.


3. DISCUSSION


How can novice Wikipedia editors adapt if Wikipedia has not provided the above-mentioned help? Also, what are some ways to share practical advice suggested by real editors other than the help provided by Wikipedia?

 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. 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?
