 1. Summary 

Through articles I learned that DYK (Did You Know) in Wikipedia is a common feature section that aims to highlight some interesting, novel, or surprising facts in Wikipedia. DYK presents a series of small but wonderful knowledge points that capture readers' interest and encourage them to learn more about related topics.It serves as an introduction to encourage readers to further explore and understand related topics, which facilitates the dissemination and sharing of knowledge.

2. Interesting point

The short and refined knowledge points of DYK columns can often arouse readers' curiosity and interest. These interesting facts may stimulate the reader's desire to learn more about and explore related topics. The DYK section takes readers deeper into Wikipedia by providing interesting leads. Meanwhile, the DYK section of Wikipedia is reviewed and selected by the wiki community editors. This means that the content in the DYK column undergoes a certain quality control to ensure its accuracy and credibility. This contributes to Wikipedia as an authoritative and reliable knowledge base. However, it is important to note that the DYK section does not represent the comprehensive content of Wikipedia. The DYK section is only a small selection from the vast amount of content in Wikipedia, so readers still need to dig into the relevant articles in Wikipedia for more comprehensive and detailed information.

3. Discussion

Do you think Wikipedia's DYK section is an interesting and engaging feature? Did the DYK section draw you further to Wikipedia?

    I think so. This is because new readers can recruit by delivering the content to readers and attracting attention.

  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?

 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. One interesting point is how the author describes the culture and community of Wikipedia and how it has been shaped by authorial leadership. The idea of ...
