“The most Edited-Wikipedia posts of 2016” “A Map of the Geographic Structure of Wikipedia Topics”

These two articles give the overall information of the influence of Wikipedia for worldwide. Wikipedia as a well- known website, it could create many significant impact on the global development. The article “The most Edited-Wikipedia posts of 2016”, shows the importance and want people are thinking in 2016, the author describes Wikipedia as “Wikipedia is one of the most popular sites on the web, so presumably what matters to its editors’ matters to everyone. Pages that get poured over could actually be more balanced, while pages that editors choose not to develop leave us in the dark”. The author thinks Wikipedia is a website that could influence everyone both the editor and the viewer. Throughout the list of the 100 most edited posts in 2016, I find out that the most concern for people in the world is the death in 2016, which means a lot of people care about lives in the earth. Then the political is the second popular post group in Wikipedia, maybe just because the 2016 American election is so unexpected. The other article “A Map of the Geographic Structure of Wikipedia Topics” straightly present the changing of the Wikipedia topic on the worldwide map through history. The author concludes “In this slideshow (the maps), you can see all the maps with strong geographical topics. Since geography is never far from history, a lot of maps show the colonial past of many countries. As ethnic groups don’t always fall inside political borders, several maps reveal the presence of multiple ethnic or cultural groups within a country or of groups stretching across borders. Other maps show old empires like the Ottoman, Roman or Persian empires”. As the author describes above, we can also find the information about colonialism for people on the world, like the red dots spread around the world years by years.

You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
