W6: Why do people contribute to Wikipedia? They are not getting paid./WANG XIAOLING, 왕효령
Simply put, many ordinary people in different places through the Internet to create a thing-Wikipedia, and this thing has always been considered to be of great value. The motivation mechanism that motivates people to do this is as simple and pure as playing in the mud when they were young. It is a pleasure from creation and dissemination. Sorting out the knowledge and sharing it with everyone is very interesting in itself. Because Wikipedia is opposed to plagiarism, you need to organize and express it in your own words every time you write an item, so you will have the pleasure of being creative. In addition, you will gain a sense of identity, well-written entries will be discussed and followed by many people, and you can meet many knowledgeable and interesting friends.
For me personally, there is undoubtedly a great sense of accomplishment when I edit the content of Wikipedia to increase the knowledge of others. These are all the fun that Wikipedia can bring to me. And seeing the content I wrote has a sense of accomplishment, and making a small contribution to the things I love makes me very happy. In addition, avoid wasting time. Editing Wikipedia even if it is not paid is a very meaningful thing.
