Digital currency storm in October

Editing war usually makes the content of items change frequently in a short period of time, and causes a large number of version coverage. Therefore, the result of editing war is that the items are temporarily or permanently protected or locked for a period of forced cooling. After a period of time, it generally follows the principle of waiting for the right time to open editing again, Sometimes, we will keep the appropriate version and lock it for a long time. What wiki humorously calls "then users will find that the entry can't be edited and enjoy a week's leisure."
in Wiki, this kind of protection will not be released soon, which is especially important in the case of controversial items. In this case, editing war may happen again, and the administrator who protects the page may be coordinating with the parties involved in the dispute. If the two parties really can't reach an agreement, the spirit of the agreement requires that both views be expressed, It can be like this: in the dispute over XXX, one party thinks that..., the other party thinks that“ Although there may be contradictory contents in the article, wiki is not, and cannot be, a place to judge whether a certain statement is right or wrong in case of dispute. It can only be recorded, indicating that there are two statements. "
the founders of Wiki hope to gather the knowledge of all mankind and share it with every citizen of the earth for free. Countless heads of different cultures are connected through optical cables, which has given birth to the "global village" and a new principle of coexistence and sharing - "decentralization", which pursues that everyone can edit, think, learn and share
in 2002, China joined the world wiki series. In the autumn of this year, mountain, a student in the Department of mathematics at Peking University, found wiki by accident, and then made the interface Chinese. It was soon recognized by wiki headquarters. Soon, Chinese wiki welcomed the first batch of active volunteer editors - three from Chinese mainland, one from Taiwan, one from Hongkong and one from Singapore. Chinese wiki is pluralistic at the beginning. Chinese from different regions and cultures can participate. " "But there are differences," mountain said
this prediction will soon become a reality. The differences between the young people on both sides of the Taiwan Straits in their understanding of history and culture are rapidly emerging. For example, the war that occurred in Chinese mainland from 1945 to 1949 has aroused the controversy between the definition of "liberation war" and "the second Kuomintang Communist civil war". The complexity of the history and reality of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait makes disputes frequent and trivial. Even a box can become a battlefield. Chinese wiki wanted to compile a chronology of Chinese dynasties, but after 1949, Wiki people in Taiwan asked Taiwan to be side by side with the mainland, and the table size should be the same. On the other hand, Wiki people on the mainland are against it, saying that it should be divided according to the actual size of the two sides
in 2005, the elders of Chinese wiki thought it was time to set the rules. They translate the articles of Wiki directly, but the effect is not good. For example, "neutral point of view", the English version of the Charter uses more than 5000 words to explain, which is difficult to understand when translated into Chinese. Mountain translation expounds "consensus" - full communication, good faith presumption, rational cooperation, free debate and discussion like the "citizens" of ancient Greek city states“ It's a process of building order from chaos. " Mountain quoted Hayek< However, the appeal has not alleviated these "editorial wars". Jimmy Welsh, the founder of Wiki, is worried about this. It is rumored that he even considered closing Chinese wiki for a time. But before that, the latter paid a price - an over open editorial environment that also raised sensitivity. From 2004 to 2008, Chinese wiki was blocked three times in Chinese mainland. During the blockade period, e to the difficulty of landing, Wiki people in mainland China graally decreased, while wiki people in Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places continued to increase. By September 2012, Taiwan was 16% ahead of the mainland in terms of editorial volume, and the position of public opinion on Chinese wikis was graally shifting, with a very different pattern. During this period, Wiki people in Taiwan created the entry of "Pingxingguan campaign", in which they ridiculed that "fortunately, the enemy is only a logistics force responsible for logistics transportation"
in 2008, Chinese wiki was unsealed. After the wiki people from mainland China came back, the quarrel began. Within a few years, entries have been modified more than a thousand times, and editing wars have broken out several times. Administrators have no choice but to violate the original intention of wikinet and set the entries as "not modifiable". In addition, Wiki people have registered an account to "uncover the truth of history". Both sides have given evidence and questioned each other. Originally, it was only a thousand byte entry, and its capacity has been expanded 20 times
in April 2013, a magazine long article revealed the inside story of torture in a women's detention center in Northeast China. Three days later, Taiwan wikigraphers "wetrace" and "smile886" set up new entries on Chinese Wiki and expanded them 49 times, including foreign media reports, UN reports, and an unsubstantiated letter for help. From the third day, Wiki people on the mainland began to fight back. The focus of their query lies in the objectivity of Taiwan editors' information sources and their inclination towards western media
"heixueji" edited 29 times within half an hour after questioning, deleting more than 2000 words related to media reports, mainly the self statements of reecation through labor personnel and the specific description of torture in the United Nations report. At two o'clock in the morning, heixueji again deleted the content edited by Taiwan and added a sign that the entry was controversial. However, within 20 minutes, the Taiwan editor "wetrace", who stayed in front of the computer all night, discovered the "enemy situation" and cancelled the version of "heixueji" again. He became angry and protested to heixueji: "I warn you not to destroy it any more." At 3:20 p.m., another wikigrapher from mainland China, yuwenyuwu, served as the reinforcements of heixueji. He once again cancelled the editing of "wetrace"
the tug of war lasted from 3:00 p.m. that day to 9:00 a.m. the next day. The administrator had to step in and never allowed editing
after this battle, "heixueji" began to become angry. He began to suspect that the false information on Wiki was organized and was determined to crack down on it“ Some people on Wiki have ulterior motives. They are deliberately exaggerating some problems as a tool for attack and self promotion. "“ Heixueji said, "it aroused my sense of mission."
Mao Xianghui, a scholar, once criticized wikinet for its lack of trust mechanism. He said half jokingly: "in the eyes of mainland wiki people, Taiwan wiki people are pro Japanese and Taiwan independence (only visible and hidden), and Hong Kong wiki people are just a group of children. In the eyes of Wiki people in Hong Kong and Taiwan, Wiki people in mainland China are brainwashed countrymen. "
