User:Kindslime/reflection: Difference between revisions - Wikipedia
Content deleted Content added
Line 6: The way that Wikipedia shows past revisions is through its "View History" tab, where one can see who added or removed specific sections to the article, as well as a short summary of what they did and why they did it. Through the way Wikipedia's editing is formatted, it allows everything to be neatly tracked, and one can easily thank people who provide specific edits. The formatting of Wikipedia also brings up difficulty, in terms of trying to join the community, due to one of the sites most well known and advertised features. With other members of Wikipedia being the people who edit the articles, these members are also helping to moderate the sites articles. These Wikipedia users are thus the ones looking at, and shutting down, certain revisions. A point made by Kraut et al. is that when moderation is done by those within the community, it is seen as more fair than someone not a part of the group, and is more effective in maintaining social norms.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Kraut |first=Robert |title=Building Successful Online Communities: Evidence-Based Social Design |last2=Resnick |first2=Paul |last3=Kiesler |first3=Sara |last4=Burke |first4=Moira |last5=Chen |first5=Yan |last6=Kittur |first6=Niki |last7=Konstan |first7=Joseph |last8=Ren |first8=Yuqing |last9=Riedl |first9=John |date=March 23, 2012 |publisher=MIT Press |year=2012 |isbn=9780262298315 |edition=1st |pages=134-143}}</ref> == References == <references /> | |||
