WEEK3: Wikipedia editing practice - HONG XIAOQI

 This week, I made 12 edits to Wikipedia. Most of my work focused on improving the structure and adding content to existing articles. For example, I added tables of contents to some pages, expanded a few sections, and made small adjustments to make the overall organization clearer. I also linked key terms to other relevant Wikipedia pages using internal links, which helped make the connections between different topics more visible.

Through this process, I realized that even small changes, like adding links or reorganizing sections, can make an article much easier to read. At the same time, I noticed that quite a few articles still lack proper sources, which affects how reliable they are. From the class activity, I learned how to add citations to sentences without references, and it gave me a clearer understanding of why verifiability matters.

This made me wonder: in actual editing practice, compared to adding content or improving structure, how much importance should be given to adding and fixing citations?
