Summary:Jimmy Wales has founded Wikipedia and Joseph Reagle contributed a lot. Wikipedia is a community, but it does not help us that ‘sharing knowledge for everyone’, but still work for ‘making people depend on this social knowledge asset globally.’ A project like this type seemed unrealistic thing few years before. So many people work collaboratively for Wikipedia, and still there is a lot of things to learn, because Wikipedia does not teach any lesson. It a social protocol, and it is only amount of knowledge. The people who wrote article know this fact.

Question:
