Contributions cannot damage Wikipedia because the software allows easy reversal of mistakes and many experienced editors are watching to help ensure that edits are cumulative improvements.

Unlike printed encyclopedias, Wikipedia is continually created and updated, with articles on historic events appearing within minutes, rather than months or years. Because everybody can help improve it, Wikipedia has become more comprehensive than any other encyclopedia. In addition to quantity, its contributors work on improving quality as well. Wikipedia is a work-in-progress, with articles in various stages of completion. As articles develop, they tend to become more comprehensive and balanced. Quality also improves over time as misinformation and other errors are removed or repaired. However, because anyone can click "edit" at any time and add stuff in, any article may contain undetected misinformation, errors, or <a href="/web/20180905100933/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Vandalism" title="Wikipedia:Vandalism">vandalism</a>. Awareness of this helps the reader to obtain valid information, avoid recently added misinformation (see <i><a href="/web/20180905100933/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Researching_with_Wikipedia" title="Wikipedia:Researching with Wikipedia">Wikipedia:Researching with Wikipedia</a></i>), and fix the

Nupedia had an elaborate system of <a href="/web/20180905100933/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer_review" title="Peer review">peer review</a> and required highly qualified contributors, but the writing of articles was slow.

Multiple sources suggested that a <a href="/web/20180905100933/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki" title="Wiki">wiki</a> might allow members of the public to contribute material, and Nupedia's first wiki went online on January 10, 2001. </p><p>There was considerable resistance on the part of Nupedia's editors and reviewers to the idea of associating Nupedia with a website in the wiki format, so the new project was given the name "Wikipedia" and launched on its own domain, wikipedia.com, on January 15 (now called <a href="/web/20180905100933/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Day" title="Wikipedia:Wikipedia Day">"Wikipedia Day"</a> by some users).

Over time, this generally results in an upward trend of quality and a growing consensus over a neutral representation of information. </p><p>Users should be aware that not all articles are of encyclopedic quality from the start: they may contain false or debatable information. Indeed, many articles start their lives as displaying a single viewpoint; and, after a long process of discussion, debate, and argumentation, they gradually take on a <a href="/web/20180905100933/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:NPOV" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NPOV">neutral point of view</a> reached through <a href="/web/20180905100933/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Consensus" title="Wikipedia:Consensus">consensus</a>. Others may, for a while, become caught up in a heavily unbalanced viewpoint which can take some time—months or years perhaps—to achieve a better balanced coverage of their subject. In part, this is because editors often contribute content in which they have a particular interest and do not attempt to make each article that they edit comprehensive. However, eventually, additional editors expand and contribute to articles and strive to achieve balance and comprehensive coverage. In addition, Wikipedia operates a number of internal resolution processes that can assist when editors disagree on content and approach. Usually, editors eventually reach a consensus on ways to improve the article. </p><p>The <i>ideal</i> Wikipedia article is well written, balanced, <a href="/web/20180905100933/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view" title="Wikipedia:Neutral point of view">neutral</a>, and encyclopedic, containing comprehensive, notable, <a href="/web/20180905100933/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability" title="Wikipedia:Verifiability">verifiable</a> knowledge. An increasing number of articles reach this standard over time, and many already have. Our best articles are called <a href="/web/20180905100933/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_articles" title="Wikipedia:Featured articles">Featured Articles</a> (and display a small star in the upper right corner of the article), and our second best tier of articles are designated <a href="/web/20180905100933/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Good_Articles" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Good Articles">Good Articles</a>. However, this is a process and can take months or years to be achieved through the concerted effort of editors. Some articles contain statements which have not yet been fully <a href="/web/20180905100933/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CITE" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:CITE">cited</a>. Others will later be augmented with new sections. Some information will be considered by later contributors to be insufficiently founded and, therefore, may be removed. </p><p>While the overall trend is toward improvement, it is important to use Wikipedia carefully if it is intended to be used as a research source, since individual articles will, by their nature, vary in quality and maturity. <a href="/web/20180905100933/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Researching_with_Wikipedia" title="Wikipedia:Researching with Wikipedia">Guidelines and information pages</a> are available to help users and researchers do this effectively, as is an article that summarizes third-party studies and assessments of the <a href="/web/20180905100933/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reliability_of_Wikipedia" title="Reliability of Wikipedia">reliability of Wikipedia</a>. </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Wikipedia_vs_paper_encyclopedias">Wikipedia vs paper encyclopedias</span></h3> <dl><dd><i>Main page: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180905100933/https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_is_not_paper" class="extiw" title="m:Wikipedia is not paper">Wikipedia is not paper</a> (on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180905100933/https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/" class="extiw" title="m:">Wikimedia Meta-Wiki</a>).</i></dd></dl> <p>Wikipedia has advantages over traditional paper encyclopedias. First, is that it is not limited in space: it can keep growing as fast as people add to it. </p><p>Second, there are no qualifications required to be able to author its articles. Therefore, it has a very large pool of contributors: the whole world. This, and the first advantage mentioned above, have enabled Wikipedia to become the most comprehensive encyclopedia on Earth. </p><p>Third, a paper encyclopedia remains static (stays the same) and falls out of date until the next edition. But Wikipedia is dynamic: you don't have to wait for the next edition to come out (there are no editions), as Wikipedia is published on-line as it is written on-line. Articles are made available as is, regardless of what stage of development they are in. <i>You</i> can update Wikipedia at any instant, and people do so continually around the clock, thereby helping each other to keep abreast of the most recent events everywhere and of the latest facts in every subject. </p><p>Fourth, Wikipedia has a very low "publishing" cost for adding or expanding entries, as it is on-line, with no need to buy paper or ink for distribution. This has allowed it to be made available for free, making it more accessible to everyone. This has enabled Wikipedia to be independently developed and published in many different languages at the same time, by people literate in each language. Of the 290+ different language Wikipedias, 137 of them have 10,000 or more articles. </p><p>Fifth, Wikipedia has a low environmental impact <a href="/web/20180905100933/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of_paper" title="Environmental impact of paper">in some respects</a>, since it never needs to be printed, although computers have their own <a href="/web/20180905100933/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computers_and_the_environment" class="mw-redirect" title="Computers and the environment">environmental cost</a>. </p><p>Sixth, Wikipedia is extra-linear (more than linear). Instead of in-line explanations, Wikipedia incorporates <a href="/web/20180905100933/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext" title="Hypertext">hypertext</a> in the form of <a href="/web/20180905100933/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikilink" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikilink">wikilinks</a>. Throughout its content is a robust network of links, providing another dimension of knowledge accessibility. The encyclopedia also has correlates to <a href="/web/20180905100933/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Contents/Outlines" title="Portal:Contents/Outlines">tables of contents</a> and <a href="/web/20180905100933/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Contents/Indices" title="Portal:Contents/Indices">indexes</a>, with each entry in them hyperlinked to an article on the topic specified. </p><p>Seventh, each Wikipedia article provides an introduction summarizing the more extensive detail of its contents. </p><p>Eighth, being open to anyone to edit, articles on Wikipedia are subject to additions that might be erroneous or written poorly, which in turn are subject to being corrected or rewritten. It is a community effort, with most people who are involved helping to improve the work, fixing problems they encounter along the way.

This allows Wikipedia to significantly reduce regional and cultural bias found in many other publications, and makes it very difficult for any person or group to <a href="/web/20180905100933/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_is_not_censored" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not censored">censor and impose bias</a>. A large, diverse editor base also provides access and breadth on subject matter that is otherwise inaccessible or little documented. A large number of editors contributing at any moment also means that Wikipedia can produce encyclopedic articles and resources covering newsworthy events within hours or days of their occurrence. It also means that like any publication, Wikipedia may reflect the cultural, age, socio-economic, and other biases of its contributors. There is no systematic process to make sure that <a href="/web/20180905100933/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_articles_all_languages_should_have" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:List of articles all languages should have">"obviously important" topics</a> are written about, so Wikipedia may contain unexpected oversights and omissions. While <i>most</i> articles may be altered by anyone, in practice editing will be performed by a certain <a href="/web/20180905100933/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic" class="mw-redirect" title="Demographic">demographic</a> (younger rather than older, male rather than female, rich enough to afford a computer rather than poor, et cetera) and may, therefore, show some bias. Some topics may not be covered well, while others may be covered in great depth.</li> <li>Allowing <b>anyone to edit</b> Wikipedia means that it is more easily vandalized or susceptible to unchecked information, which requires removal. See <a href="/web/20180905100933/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism" title="Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism">Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism</a>. While blatant vandalism is usually easily spotted and rapidly corrected, Wikipedia is more subject to subtle viewpoint promotion than a typical reference work. However, bias that would be unchallenged in a traditional reference work is likely to be ultimately challenged or considered on Wikipedia. While Wikipedia articles generally attain a good standard after editing, it is important to note that fledgling articles and those monitored less well may be susceptible to vandalism and insertion of false information. Wikipedia's radical openness also means that any given article may be, at any given moment, in a bad state, such as in the middle of a large edit, or a controversial rewrite. Many contributors do not yet comply fully with key <a href="/web/20180905100933/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Policies_and_guidelines" title="Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines">policies</a>, or may add information without <a href="/web/20180905100933/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CITE" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:CITE">citable</a> sources. Wikipedia's open approach tremendously increases the chances that any particular factual error or misleading statement will be relatively promptly corrected. Numerous editors at any given time are monitoring <a href="/web/20180905100933/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges" title="Special:RecentChanges">recent changes</a> and edits to articles on their <a href="/web/20180905100933/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Watchlist" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Watchlist">watchlists</a>.</li> <li>Wikipedia is <b>written by open and transparent consensus</b>—an approach that has its pros and cons. Censorship or imposing "official" points of view is extremely difficult to achieve and usually fails after a time. Eventually for most articles, all notable views become fairly described and a <a href="/web/20180905100933/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:NPOV" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NPOV">neutral point of view</a> reached. In reality, the process of reaching consensus may be long and drawn-out, with articles fluid or changeable for a long time while they find their "neutral approach" that all sides can agree on. Reaching neutrality is occasionally made harder by <a href="/web/20180905100933/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tendentious_editing" title="Wikipedia:Tendentious editing">extreme-viewpoint contributors</a>. Wikipedia operates a full editorial dispute resolution process, one that allows time for discussion and resolution in depth, but one that also permits disagreements to last for months before poor-quality or biased edits are removed. A common conclusion is that Wikipedia is a valuable resource and provides a good reference point on its subjects.</li> <li>That said, articles and subject areas sometimes suffer from significant omissions, and while misinformation and vandalism are usually corrected quickly, this does not always happen. (See for example <a href="/web/20180905100933/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_biography_controversy" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia biography controversy">this incident</a> in which a person inserted a fake biography linking a prominent journalist to the Kennedy assassinations and Soviet Russia as a joke on a co-worker which went undetected for four months, saying afterwards he "didn’t know <a href="/web/20180905100933/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia" title="Wikipedia">Wikipedia</a> was used as a serious reference tool".)</li> <li>Wikipedia is <b>written largely by amateurs</b>. Those with expert credentials are given no additional weight. Wikipedia is also not subject to any peer review for scientific, medical or engineering articles. One advantage to having amateurs write in Wikipedia is that they have more free time on their hands so that they can make rapid changes in response to current events. The wider the general public interest in a topic, the more likely it is to attract contributions from non-specialists.</li></ul> <p>The <a href="/web/20180905100933/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki" title="MediaWiki">MediaWiki</a> software that runs Wikipedia retains a history of all edits and changes, thus information added to Wikipedia never "vanishes" irreversibly. Discussion pages are an important resource on contentious topics. Therefore, serious researchers can often find a wide range of vigorously or thoughtfully advocated viewpoints not present in the consensus article. As with any source, information should be checked.

These are: </p> <ul><li><i>Article.</i> Shows the main Wikipedia article.</li> <li><i>Talk.</i> Shows a user discussion about the article's topic and possible revisions, controversies, etc.</li> <li><i>Edit.</i> This tab allows users to edit the article. Depending on the page’s susceptibility to vandalism, according to its visibility or the degree of controversy surrounding the topic, this tab may not be shown for all users. (For example, any user who is not an <a href="/web/20180905100933/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators" title="Wikipedia:Administrators">administrator</a> will not be able to edit the <a href="/web/20180905100933/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page" title="Main Page">Main Page</a>.)</li> <li><i>View history.</i> This tab allows readers to view the editors of the article and the changes that have been made.</li> <li><i>Star.</i> ("Watch") If you are logged into your account, clicking on the star icon will cause any changes made to the article to be displayed on the watchlist. (Note: when this icon is clicked, it changes to a filled-in star.)</li></ul> <p>Wikipedia has robust <a href="/web/20180905100933/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revision_control" class="mw-redirect" title="Revision control">version and reversion controls</a>. This means that poor-quality edits or vandalism can quickly and easily be reversed or brought up to an appropriate standard by any other editor, so inexperienced editors cannot accidentally do permanent harm if they make a mistake in their editing. As there are many more editors intent on improving articles than not, error-ridden articles are usually corrected promptly. </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Wikipedia_content_criteria">Wikipedia

even though anyone can edit it?</div></div></div> <p>The Wikipedia community is largely self-organising, so that anyone may build a reputation as a competent editor and become involved in any role s/he may choose, subject to peer approval. Individuals often will choose to become involved in specialised tasks, such as reviewing articles at others' request, watching current edits for vandalism, watching newly created articles for quality control purposes, or similar roles. Editors who believe they can serve the community better by taking on additional administrative responsibility may ask their peers for agreement to undertake such responsibilities. This structure enforces meritocracy and communal standards of editorship and conduct. At present a minimum approval of 75–80% from the community is required to take on these additional tools and responsibilities.
