The Opportunities and Challenges of Wikipedia

"The Opportunities and Challenges of Wikipedia" is an academic book that addresses the opportunities and challenges of Wikipedia as one of the most well-known digital community projects. It highlights Wikipedia's role as a platform based on collaborative production, supported by a multitude of volunteer editors. The book examines how Wikipedia enables access to information and knowledge without financial barriers while also protecting user privacy by not selling personal data to third parties. Despite the extensive database and the wealth of information, the controversial reliability of the content is also discussed. The insights are derived from interviews conducted at the University of Sussex and provide an in-depth analysis of the issues associated with using Wikipedia.
