English subtitles for clip: File:What makes a Wikipedia article unique – A WIKI MINUTE 16-9.webm

1
00:00:01,033 --> 00:00:02,966
A lot can happen in a Wiki minute

2
00:00:02,966 --> 00:00:03,933
Like the 60 seconds

3
00:00:03,933 --> 00:00:05,133
of everything that happens on

4
00:00:05,133 --> 00:00:06,566
Wikimedia projects.

5
00:00:06,566 --> 00:00:08,400
Or even the time it takes to answer:

6
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,466
What makes a Wikipedia article unique?

7
00:00:11,466 --> 00:00:13,066
Wikipedia is the free encyclopedia

8
00:00:13,066 --> 00:00:14,333
everyone can edit.

9
00:00:14,333 --> 00:00:15,900
And nearly 300,000 volunteers

10
00:00:15,900 --> 00:00:18,000
around the world do it every month!

11
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,200
Many Wikipedia articles

12
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:20,433
share the same structure:

13
00:00:20,433 --> 00:00:22,200
A table of contents, different sections,

14
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,866
and an infobox with stats and images.

15
00:00:24,866 --> 00:00:26,566
Content on Wikipedia can't exist

16
00:00:26,566 --> 00:00:28,833
without a secondary source: 
A newspaper

17
00:00:28,833 --> 00:00:30,033
publication, archive,

18
00:00:30,033 --> 00:00:31,200
or historical record

19
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:32,833
that editors rely on to create

20
00:00:32,833 --> 00:00:34,733
and improve content.

21
00:00:34,733 --> 00:00:36,566
Towards the bottom of each article,

22
00:00:36,566 --> 00:00:37,000
you can see

23
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,933
all the sources used by editors to build

24
00:00:38,933 --> 00:00:40,033
that article.

25
00:00:40,033 --> 00:00:41,100
The quality of an article

26
00:00:41,100 --> 00:00:43,000
is as good as its sources!

27
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:43,833
At the top menu

28
00:00:43,833 --> 00:00:45,166
you'll find the talk page.

29
00:00:45,166 --> 00:00:46,400
That's where volunteer editors

30
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,266
discuss the contents of an article.

31
00:00:48,266 --> 00:00:50,033
Articles are the result of great debate

32
00:00:50,033 --> 00:00:51,700
and collaboration!

33
00:00:51,700 --> 00:00:52,433
There are two types

34
00:00:52,433 --> 00:00:53,933
of hyperlinks on Wikipedia.

35
00:00:53,933 --> 00:00:55,433
When you see a red hyperlink,

36
00:00:55,433 --> 00:00:56,466
that means those pages

37
00:00:56,466 --> 00:00:57,533
are not yet started,

38
00:00:57,533 --> 00:00:58,900
but are waiting for someone like you

39
00:00:58,900 --> 00:01:01,433
to start editing them. Like knowledge,

40
00:01:01,466 --> 00:01:03,533
the work on Wikipedia is never finished.

41
00:01:03,966 --> 00:01:05,933
That's what makes a Wikipedia article unique,

42
00:01:05,933 --> 00:01:07,833
in only one minute.
