Reading 15-CHEN XINLEI

Learning Wikipedia has been a very rewarding experience, and I have gained a lot of knowledge and insights along the way. By studying Wikipedia, I have discovered many new topics and areas that I may not have been familiar with or knew little about before. The content of Wikipedia is very comprehensive and detailed, covering all aspects of knowledge from history, science, art to geography and culture. Not only that, but Wikipedia provides many in-depth links and references to further expand and explore topics of interest.

The editing process of Wikipedia also gave me a deeper understanding of how knowledge is generated and shared. Wikipedia content is edited and maintained by volunteer contributors who review and revise each other to ensure the information is accurate and trustworthy. This process emphasized the importance of cooperation and joint efforts, and also made me realize the continuous evolution and renewal of knowledge.

In addition, studying Wikipedia has also developed my information searching and critical thinking skills. While reading Wikipedia articles, I have learned to assess the reliability of information sources and to form my own judgments by taking information from different perspectives and sources. This is critical to the challenges of confronting a deluge of information and disinformation in modern society.

Overall, learning about Wikipedia has been a very rewarding experience. It provided me with a wide range of knowledge and insights, developed my information searching and critical thinking skills, and gave me a deeper understanding of how knowledge is generated and shared. I believe that Wikipedia will continue to be one of my important references and resources in my future study and research.

 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?
