 Editing Wikipedia is a very rewarding task and I have learned a lot from it.

Research skills: Editing Wikipedia requires in-depth research and understanding of the topics covered. Learn to locate reliable sources, collect and organize information, assess the accuracy and reliability of information, and translate it into accurate, concise Wikipedia articles.

Editing Wikipedia also requires a clear, concise, and neutral writing style. How to organize information and use appropriate language and format is a must for entering a wiki. Also Wikipedia is a collaborative platform where I became part of the wiki community and could work with other volunteers to edit and improve articles. I learned to collaborate with others, participate in discussions and debates, and communicate effectively by editing summaries and discussion pages to actively contribute to a common knowledge resource.

Compared to traditional student assignments, editing Wikipedia has a number of differences:

Practical application: Editing Wikipedia is a real, public impact assignment. Your edits will be read by thousands of people and may have an impact on the learning and research of others. In contrast, traditional student assignments are usually just reviewed by teachers or peers.

Open and collaborative: Wikipedia is an open and collaborative platform where anyone can edit and improve articles. In contrast to traditional student assignments that involve only collaboration between individuals or groups, Wikipedia editing involves collaboration and communication with volunteers from around the world.

Continuous improvement: Wikipedia's goal is to continuously improve and refine the knowledge base. My edits may be subject to revision and improvement by other editors, and this open process can lead to continuous improvement of one's own writing and research skills.

Whether editing Wikipedia is more fun is a subjective question, as everyone's definition of "fun" is different. However, many people find editing Wikipedia to be a fun and challenging task because it allows you to delve into topics of interest to you and collaborate with other volunteers to build a large knowledge base. This sense of involvement and useful outcomes for the public can often add to the enjoyment and satisfaction of the task.

 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 ...

  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?
