 1. SUMMARY

Wikipedia is an example of an open content community, focusing on providing value related to openness. But balancing values such as transparency, integrity, and non-discrimination is a challenge. In addition, even if it is an open-minded community, setting boundaries is an important factor. Indeed, even perfect openness is not comprehensive, and open systems create conditions that demand and threaten openness. As a result, a well-balanced system can persist, and a system that does not can fail. In the Wikipedia community, there are various discussions on these aspects, and there are concerns about how to balance values. As an open content community with these characteristics, Wikipedia is evaluated to meet the conditions.


2. INTERESTING POINT


I think Wikipedia's Openness part is the most interesting. Wikipedia allows anyone to freely write articles on various topics. However, such an open system may rather be a stumbling block to Wikipedia's move in a good direction. Discrimination due to freedom may occur, and accuracy may be reduced due to indiscriminate writing of articles. As mentioned above, openness will be meaningful only when the balance is well balanced.


3. DISCUSSION


So what should I do from the user's point of view if Wikipedia's open system is to be balanced?

 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?
