 1) Summary

Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia, and the classification system is a method for organizing and categorizing Wikipedia articles. Wikipedia's categorization system is designed to help readers and editors more easily find and browse articles on related topics. By placing articles in groups in different categories, readers can locate content of interest to them more quickly. At the same time, the categorization system provides editors with a way to organize and manage articles, making the structure of Wikipedia clearer. Wikipedia's categorization system is based on a set of pre-defined categorization rules and guidelines. These rules include the nomenclature of categories, the hierarchy of categories, the description of categories, and the association of categories. By following these rules, editors can place new articles into the appropriate categories or create new categories to fit new topics.

2) Interesting point

The Wikipedia categorization system has a number of important principles. These include the principle of "proportionality", which means that categories should be moderate in scope and size, avoiding being too subdivided or too broad. Another principle is "non-overlap", which means that each article should belong to only one category that best suits it, to avoid duplication of categorization.

3) Discussion

Are Wikipedia's categorization rules adjusted?

    I don't think the current classification of Wikipedia needs to be adjusted. Wikipedia's classification rules are designed to meet the needs of as wide a range of readers and contributors as possible, while maintaining the consistency and usability of the classification system. As Wikipedia covers a wide and complex range of topics, there may be different views and controversies about particular topics or boundary cases. In such cases, the Wikipedia community will seek the best classification rules and solutions through discussion and consensus.

 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?
