00:00:00,766 --> 00:00:02,700
A lot can happen in a Wiki minute

2
00:00:02,700 --> 00:00:03,666
like the 60 seconds

3
00:00:03,666 --> 00:00:04,866
of everything that happens on

4
00:00:04,866 --> 00:00:06,400
Wikimedia projects.

5
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,366
Or even the time it takes to answer:

6
00:00:08,366 --> 00:00:10,433
Can you trust what's on Wikipedia?

7
00:00:10,433 --> 00:00:10,766
Yes,

8
00:00:10,766 --> 00:00:13,100
anyone can write Wikipedia articles

9
00:00:13,100 --> 00:00:13,833
but that doesn't mean

10
00:00:13,833 --> 00:00:16,700
they can write anything they want.

11
00:00:16,700 --> 00:00:18,766
Thousands of volunteers ensure information

12
00:00:18,766 --> 00:00:20,266
added to the site is accurate 

13
00:00:20,266 --> 00:00:23,133
and comes from verifiable sources.

14
00:00:23,133 --> 00:00:26,033
Community guidelines hold editors to high standards.

15
00:00:26,033 --> 00:00:27,233
Articles have to be written

16
00:00:27,233 --> 00:00:28,966
from a neutral point of view

17
00:00:28,966 --> 00:00:30,466
and every piece of information

18
00:00:30,466 --> 00:00:33,400
has to be backed up by a reliable source.

19
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:34,866
When things go wrong,

20
00:00:34,866 --> 00:00:37,900
senior editors are able to quickly remove articles

21
00:00:37,900 --> 00:00:39,600
or reverse bad edits

22
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,033
block repeat offenders 

23
00:00:41,033 --> 00:00:45,300
and temporarily stop editing on certain articles.

24
00:00:45,300 --> 00:00:47,933
You can do your own quality check by:

25
00:00:47,933 --> 00:00:50,666
One: Studying the sources of the article.

26
00:00:50,666 --> 00:00:53,866
Two: Checking if it has been tagged for improvement.

27
00:00:53,866 --> 00:00:56,166
And three: Studying the article’s edit history.

28
00:00:57,300 --> 00:01:00,433
And that’s how you can trust what’s on Wikipedia in one minute.
