  1) summarize in your own words of materials you read; A government is a system or organization that governs an organized community, such as a nation. Many countries have governments, and therefore their forms vary. Representative examples include democracy, totalitarianism, and mixed forms. The government mainly gains power through elections or hereditary succession. The origins of government are unclear, but records show that it arose about 5,000 years ago. Among the reasons for the emergence of government was agriculture. The development of agriculture left a surplus of food, which made it possible to specialize in non-agricultural activities. One of them involves dominating other people. In modern times, republicanism has increased.

 1)  Wikipedia's maintenance categories are primarily a collection of things related to Wikipedia's culture and users. This category contains non-documented pages or documents categorized by their status rather than their subject matter.

Some pages are kept elsewhere for reasons that are difficult to categorize, but are nevertheless maintained for reasons that are considered interesting or historically significant in the Wikipedia community. Some subcategories are not strictly "cultural" but are included for organizational reasons. 2)   I noticed that the maintenance category for Wikipedia is a collection of documents relating to the internal workings of Wikipedia. It was interesting to note that this category, unlike the general content categories that are categorized according t...

1. Summary Wikipedia entries should adopt reliable published sources. Edited content that does not indicate a reliable reference to a source may be removed by other editors. The Wikipedia concept of a source refers to the work itself (e.g., an article, a book), its creator (e.g., a writer, a journalist), and its publisher (e.g., Cambridge University Press). 2. Interesting points The citation of sources also needs to be scrutinized. The content of the citation and the part that needs to be cited should be carefully checked to ensure that the citation is in line with the content of the article. Secondly, care should be taken to update the sources in a timely manner, especially for articles about some academic fields. As the academic research continues to deepen, theories may be updated and some specialized vocabulary may be changed, so it is necessary to update the citation of the sources of the article in a timely manner. 3. Questions What should we look for when adding citation...
