"licensing. Others are platforms for CC-licensed creative work made by "

"time because articles must undergo extensive peer review. The need to "
"quickly circulate current results within a scientific community has led to a "
"practice of distributing pre-print documents that have not yet undergone "
"peer review. Preprints broaden the peer-review process, allowing authors to "
"receive early feedback from a wide group of peers, which can help revise and "
"prepare the article for submission. Offsetting the advantages of preprints "
"are author concerns over ensuring their primacy of being first to come up "
"with findings based on their research.  Other researches may see findings "
"the preprint author has not yet thought of. However, preprints help "

"It’s not uncommon for performance-rights organizations, record labels, or "

"The nature of the content the community creates is ideal for asynchronous "
"cocreation. “An encyclopedia is something where incremental community "
"improvement really works,” Luis Villa, former Chief Officer of Community "
"Engagement, told us. The rules and processes that govern cocreation on "
"Wikipedia and its sister projects are all community-driven and vary by "
"language edition. There are entire books written on the intricacies of their "
"systems, but generally speaking, there are very few exceptions to the rule "
"that anyone can edit any article, even without an account on their system. "
"The extensive peer-review process includes elaborate systems to resolve "
"disputes, methods for managing particularly controversial subject areas, "
"talk pages explaining decisions, and much, much more. The Wikimedia "
"Foundation’s decision to leave governance of the projects to the community "
"is very deliberate. “We look at the things that the community can do well, "
"and we want to let them do those things,” Stephen told us. Instead, the "
"foundation focuses its time and resources on what the community cannot do as "
"effectively, like the software engineering that supports the technical "
"infrastructure of the sites. In 2015-16, about half of the foundation’s "
"budget went to direct support for the Wikimedia sites."

"Some of that is directed at servers and general IT support, but the "

"world’s biggest graffiti wall,” Luis said.  Depending on how you measure it, "
"somewhere between 90 to 98 percent of edits to Wikipedia are positive. Some "
"portion of that success is attributable to the tools Wikimedia has in place "
"to try to incentivize good actors. “The secret to having any healthy "
"community is bringing back the right people,” Luis said. “Vandals tend to "
