1. SUMMARY

 We discuss its advantages and challenges, focusing on Wikipedia's concept of openness. In contrast to the claim that problematic users leave good users more often, ExtremeUnion's third law suggests that trolls motivate editors to write high-quality documents. 

 In Wikipedia, the definition of openness is explored, and the focus is on the accessibility and flexibility of cooperation, and the widespread sharing of content. Open content licensing, transparency, integrity, prohibition of discrimination, and non-interference, which are characteristics of the open content community, are outlined. It also mentions free and open source software (FOSS) movements that influence the concept of openness.

 Discussing the tension between the ideology of free software and the practical benefits of open source, it highlights the fact that the term "open source" was developed in 1998. This emphasizes the expansion of openness to forms of cultural production other than software, and Wikipedia is an important example of the free cultural movement.


2. INTERESTING/USEFUL POINT

1) ExtremeUnion's third law and Bachmann's law: these two perspectives present conflicting arguments about problematic users and the impact of trolls on the Wikipedia community. This is an important topic that can provoke conflict and debate within the community.

2) Wikipedia's openness and challenges: Openness encourages cooperation and sharing, but at the same time can create qualitative problems and challenges.There is a problem that it is necessary to balance malicious editing and anonymous editing while maintaining openness.


3. DISCUSSION

 What should I do to balance openness and quality in the Wikipedia community?

 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?
