How does Wikipedia manage all this information?

Since anyone can write or edit content on Wikipedia, many may be wondering how it can be considered official. It cannot be said that all the information on Wikipedia is official or correct. Every topic available on Wikipedia often includes a backlink, which we must analyze to determine whether the information is correct or incorrect.

1. Open editing Anyone can edit, but everyone can see the edited history. Therefore, it is possible to distinguish whether the information is correct or not by evaluating who has changed the information, when and why. In this way, every detail is transparent, so we have to decide for ourselves whether to rely on that information or not.

2. Community Oversight Wikipedia is a platform with more volunteers around the world. Millions of people contribute to Wikipedia pages every day. Since the content is moderated by volunteers, incorrect content is removed instantly, so that the content on Wikipedia can be considered reliable.


3) Reliable sources If someone has edited something, that person should also mention its source. In this way, people who visit Wikipedia can distinguish whether the information is correct or not based on such backlinks.


4) Post without prejudice Only such content is approved for Wikipedia pages, which is written in a balanced manner. That is, if it is written based on one side, such posts will not be approved by Wikipedia. Thus, only content with a balance of positive and negative aspects can be placed on Wikipedia.


5. Conflict of Interest Wikipedia does not accept the opinions or interests of editors. If someone tries to promote his opinion, Wikipedia rejects such posts. In this way, since it is not possible to keep the absolute opinions of some people, the information there can be considered as a basis.
