What is Wikipedia?

Wikipedia — the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit — is one of the largest collaborative projects in history. With millions of articles and in hundreds of languages, Wikipedia is read by hundreds of millions of people on a regular basis.

A lot of content already exists on Wikipedia, but many important topics have poor coverage and some have no article at all. Wikipedia relies on contributors like you to keep information current, expand short “stub” articles, and create new articles on topics not already covered in your language Wikipedia. Contributions you make to Wikipedia can enlighten hundreds, thousands, or even millions of people worldwide.

When you make an edit to Wikipedia, you’re joining a community of hundreds of thousands of people — Wikipedians — who have freely contributed their knowledge to Wikipedia. What Wikipedians are doing has the potential to change the world. But there’s still a very long way to go before we collect the sum of all knowledge. That’s why we need your help.

What you contribute to Wikipedia is free content and becomes part of the commons. It may be edited and reused by others under a free license.

Why edit Wikipedia?

We want a world that is more open, more educated, and more free. We want a world where knowledge is available to anyone that seeks it.

Today, I’m carrying on my grandfather’s life work and his passion for recording local history and heritage. The difference is I have a tool my grandfather did not — Wikipedia.

If what you write is accurate and well written, it will be read by large numbers of people every day. (If not, it will quickly disappear.)

To date, more than 18,000 people have read my article.Some have even added their own information and sources.I learned to speak English by fighting vandalism on Wikipedia. When I have kids,I want them to know Nepal’s culture and our rich history,and to learn it in our own language — and Wikipedia is making that possible.Review articles and make suggestions for improvement Upload photographs and illustrate articles Copy edit articles Assign students to edit Wikipedia, and help student editors learn the basics through the Wikipedia Education Program

Preparing to edit Anyone can edit Wikipedia, but there are some basic rules. Here are some of the most important ones to follow as you start editing: Neutral point of view Everything on Wikipedia must be written from a neutral point of view. Articles must not take sides, but instead should describe — accurately and without bias — all the significant viewpoints on the topic published in reliable sources. Argumentation or advocacy does not belong in Wikipedia articles. No original researchSimply put, Wikipedia is not a place to publish original ideas.Rather, you should summarize what others have published in reliable sources about the topic.Articles may not contain any new analysis, and they should not synthesize published materials to reach broader conclusions beyond what the individual sources say. Reliable sources Information in Wikipedia needs to be verifiable, based on reliable published sources. You should include citations for the information you add to the encyclopedia, so that others can check it for themselves. The most reliable sources for Wikipedia are third-party sources with a reputation for fact-checking, such as books published by academic presses, peer-reviewed academic journals, and international newspapers. You should be using sources that represent significant viewpoints, rather than one-off studies or fringe work. Try to find the best and most reliable sources available on the topic.

Copyright and plagiarism :Since all contributions are freely licensed, no editor owns any article; all of your contributions can and will be edited and redistributed. Except for brief quotations, copying content from copyrighted sources onto Wikipedia is not allowed. Whether direct copying or close paraphrasing, plagiarism and copyright violation are disruptive and time-consuming for volunteers to clean up. It’s important that all content you contribute to Wikipedia is written in your own words. (Public domain and freely licensed content may also be added to Wikipedia as long as it is properly attributed.)

Conflict of interest : If you have a conflict of interest about a particular topic — such as an employer or an organization you are a part of — you should avoid editing articles about it. We’ve developed these policies and principles over the years so we can be sure that Wikipedia is as reliable and useful as possible.

What is encyclopedic style? Writing in an encyclopedic style and a formal tone is important when adding new content to Wikipedia. Instead of essay-like, argumentative, or opinionated writing, Wikipedia articles should have a straightforward, just-the-facts style. Here are examples of the do’s and don’ts of encyclopedic writing.

Inappropriate:Britannica and the Future of Encyclopedias Encyclopædia Britannica, although a celebrated and historically significant encyclopedia, has little relevance in modern society. Instead, most experts agree that the future of the encyclopedia genre belongs to Wikipedia and other wiki encyclopedias — created by regular folks like you and me.ronically, while it was a great influence on Jimmy Wales and the intrepid new generation of amateur encyclopedists who created — and continue to create — Wikipedia, Britannica in recent years has come to symbolize everything wrong about the old ways of creating and distributing knowledge: top-down control, unaccountable gatekeepers who decide what does and does not merit coverage, copyright restrictions and high prices that limit access to the wealthy, and — in its current online form — intrusive advertising that undercuts the reliability and usability of its content.

What to avoid:

Don’t create new essay-like articles or sections.

Don’t structure your writing as an argument.

Don’t use “weasel words” (like “most experts agree” or “some people say”).

• Don’t use colloquial language or slang.
• Don’t use “peacock terms” (like “great”, “extraordinary”, or “intrepid”).
• Don’t inject personal opinion into the writing.
• Don’t use overly complex language and sentence structure

Appropriate:

Since the early 1990s, the Britannica has faced new challenges from digital information sources. In rapidly changing fields such as science, technology, politics, culture, and modern history, the Britannica has struggled to stay up-to-date, a problem first analyzed systematically by its former editor Walter Yust. [1] Although the Britannica is now available both in multimedia form and over the Internet, its preeminence is being challenged by other online encyclopedias, such as Wikipedia. [2]

Do:

• Use plain language
• Be brief
• Cite sources to back up factual claims
• Attribute viewpoints to the people who hold them
• Avoid stating conclusions, except when attributed to a specific source
