Abstract

This article discusses Wikipedia's governance, policies, participants (their motivations), and various stakeholders (their interests and influences). The central concern is how these factors affect the quality of Wikipedia's articles. Understanding these influences empower readers of Wikipedia to better assess its reliability within specific context. The article also argues that mid- to long-term solution to the reliability issue should include not just being a savvy reader, but also to contribute to Wikipedia. A number of direct and indirect ways to make contributions are explained.
