1
00:00:07,686 --> 00:00:11,934
Wikipedia was born in year 2001 with the aim to create

2
00:00:11,973 --> 00:00:15,443
the biggest open-content encyclopedia of the history.

3
00:00:15,710 --> 00:00:19,598
Wikipedia is written by many contributing volounteers.

4
00:00:19,751 --> 00:00:22,465
Everyone can contribute. Let's see how.

5
00:00:23,854 --> 00:00:27,300
Almost all the pages of Wikipedia show a tag on the top

6
00:00:27,335 --> 00:00:30,492
saying "modifica" (edit); it allows to do

7
00:00:30,536 --> 00:00:34,428
exactly what it says: to edit the page that you are reading.

8
00:00:35,043 --> 00:00:39,465
Wikipedia hasn't any editorial staff. Every user

9
00:00:39,540 --> 00:00:42,990
can access the content of all the pages of the encyclopedia

10
00:00:43,019 --> 00:00:45,932
and edit them, even without the need to register.

11
00:00:46,151 --> 00:00:49,719
The text formatting obeys to few special rules,

12
00:00:49,728 --> 00:00:53,638
but it's a rather simple language, easy to learn.

13
00:00:53,989 --> 00:00:57,078
By saving the modification, you accept to release

14
00:00:57,112 --> 00:00:59,573
your contribution under a free license.

15
00:00:59,652 --> 00:01:03,546
Everyone will be free to read, use and modify the text,

16
00:01:03,561 --> 00:01:07,693
even for commercial purpose, under the condition to credit the article's authors

17
00:01:07,721 --> 00:01:11,200
and to release all the derivative works under the same license.

18
00:01:11,561 --> 00:01:16,019
It's also important to remember that every user, even if not registered,

19
00:01:16,073 --> 00:01:19,998
is the sole responsible for their contributions.

20
00:01:20,542 --> 00:01:24,743
Once saved, the modification is immediately visible for everyone!

21
00:01:25,715 --> 00:01:29,795
Wikipedia is not a messy collection of information,

22
00:01:29,820 --> 00:01:34,142
but an encyclopedia, that is a systematic collection of the human knowledge.

23
00:01:34,361 --> 00:01:36,797
On Wikipedia in fact, things such as

24
00:01:36,816 --> 00:01:40,559
vocabulary definitions or original researches must not be published.

25
00:01:41,748 --> 00:01:44,853
Every page has its own history, that reports

26
00:01:44,878 --> 00:01:48,311
all the versions of the page since its creation.

27
00:01:48,562 --> 00:01:51,551
Other than the time, the date and the summary of each modification,

28
00:01:51,566 --> 00:01:54,416
the software records also who did it.

29
00:01:54,638 --> 00:01:57,534
In case of a non-registered user, the IP address

30
00:01:57,541 --> 00:02:00,116
from which the modification came is recorded.

31
00:02:00,679 --> 00:02:03,639
The history allows also to compare

32
00:02:03,679 --> 00:02:06,777
two different versions, in oder to highlight their differences.

33
00:02:07,467 --> 00:02:11,381
Nothing gets really lost on Wikipedia; that's why for your first writing attempts

34
00:02:11,397 --> 00:02:14,586
you'd better use the test page, called "sandbox",

35
00:02:14,610 --> 00:02:16,755
that can be modified freely.

36
00:02:16,803 --> 00:02:20,736
In case of need, a registered user can also create

37
00:02:20,801 --> 00:02:24,334
a personal sandbox under their user page.

38
00:02:24,924 --> 00:02:28,020
For generating a new page, just create a link to it,

39
00:02:28,109 --> 00:02:30,844
or click on an already existing "red link".

40
00:02:30,929 --> 00:02:33,148
It's anyway better to verify in advance

41
00:02:33,209 --> 00:02:35,461
whether the page already exists.

42
00:02:36,025 --> 00:02:38,838
In order to guarantee a good functioning of the project,

43
00:02:38,841 --> 00:02:42,074
the community developed some "guidelines" that all the users

44
00:02:42,114 --> 00:02:44,811
are invited to follow and to enforce.

45
00:02:45,253 --> 00:02:47,615
One of the main standards of Wikipedia

46
00:02:47,687 --> 00:02:50,075
is the organization of the content by a model.

47
00:02:50,147 --> 00:02:53,071
Let's see the general structure of an article.

48
00:02:53,977 --> 00:02:58,354
The initial section has to resume the main topics of the article

49
00:02:58,370 --> 00:03:00,824
with a quick and simple language.

50
00:03:00,989 --> 00:03:03,828
The article is developed in sections (or paragraphs),

51
00:03:03,879 --> 00:03:06,856
whose index is automatically generated.

52
00:03:07,138 --> 00:03:10,739
On Wikipedia, you can insert images, pictures

53
00:03:10,759 --> 00:03:14,142
and videos too, but it's absolutely necessary to verify

54
00:03:14,188 --> 00:03:17,207
that the material you want to upload is freely usable,

55
00:03:17,221 --> 00:03:19,994
that is, released under a free license!

56
00:03:20,434 --> 00:03:23,597
All the informaton that an article contains must be

57
00:03:23,604 --> 00:03:26,765
reliable and verifiable, that's why it's necessary

58
00:03:26,805 --> 00:03:29,158
always to cite the sources from which it's from;

59
00:03:29,167 --> 00:03:32,283
such sources must be widely recognized and acknowledged.

60
00:03:32,497 --> 00:03:35,339
At the end of each article, after the text,

61
00:03:35,353 --> 00:03:37,648
there are some "technical" sections,

62
00:03:37,665 --> 00:03:40,095
that link further and deeper about the topic.

63
00:03:40,302 --> 00:03:43,422
For some thematic projects, there are conventional rules

64
00:03:43,405 --> 00:03:47,109
and specific guidelines to help when writing an article.

65
00:03:48,500 --> 00:03:50,930
An imperative principle of Wikipedia

66
00:03:50,964 --> 00:03:53,335
is the neutral point of view.

67
00:03:53,361 --> 00:03:55,981
Artciles must not contain personal opinions and judgements,

68
00:03:56,011 --> 00:03:59,739
but have to explain all the main points of view

69
00:03:59,754 --> 00:04:03,297
in an equilibrate and proportionate way, without prejudice.

70
00:04:04,289 --> 00:04:08,548
Every Wikipedia article has its own discussion page aside,

71
00:04:08,627 --> 00:04:11,086
where the users can discuss

72
00:04:11,114 --> 00:04:14,184
and find a version as much adequate and widely agreed as possible.

73
00:04:14,395 --> 00:04:17,464
Unlike the article page, here the opinions

74
00:04:17,493 --> 00:04:20,784
have to be signed, but always consider that Wikipedia

75
00:04:20,823 --> 00:04:24,667
is not a place for expressing personal or partial points of view.

76
00:04:25,117 --> 00:04:27,117
When users have the need

77
00:04:27,147 --> 00:04:29,753
to address many people at the same time,

78
00:04:29,823 --> 00:04:33,631
for a problem of general interest, or about a specific topic,

79
00:04:33,655 --> 00:04:37,510
they can use the "Bar" or the appropriate thematic project's bar.

80
00:04:37,995 --> 00:04:41,242
Every registered user has their own personal page,

81
00:04:41,273 --> 00:04:44,115
in which they can give some information about themselves.

82
00:04:44,226 --> 00:04:47,802
This page too has a corresponding discussion page,

83
00:04:47,827 --> 00:04:51,693
which is used like a personal mailbox.

84
00:04:51,983 --> 00:04:55,753
Per questioni tecniche si può chiedere aiuto agli utenti più esperti,

85
00:04:55,815 --> 00:04:58,338
ad esempio attraverso lo Sportello Informazioni.

86
00:04:58,353 --> 00:05:02,030
Sui contenuti invece si può consultare l'Oracolo.

87
00:05:02,924 --> 00:05:06,262
In caso di evidenti abusi o atti di vandalismo,

88
00:05:06,294 --> 00:05:09,319
alcuni utenti registrati, detti "amministratori",

89
00:05:09,386 --> 00:05:12,083
possono intervenire con specifiche operazioni,

90
00:05:12,109 --> 00:05:15,486
come bloccare un utente o cancellare o bloccare una pagina.

91
00:05:15,664 --> 00:05:18,384
Gli amministratori sono volontari che hanno acquisito

92
00:05:18,384 --> 00:05:22,048
la fiducia della comunità e sono stati scelti attraverso un'elezione.

93
00:05:22,218 --> 00:05:25,355
Svolgono operazioni tecniche delicate e garantiscono

94
00:05:25,357 --> 00:05:27,646
il rispetto delle linee guida del progetto,

95
00:05:27,664 --> 00:05:30,453
ma non sono i responsabili di Wikipedia.

96
00:05:31,311 --> 00:05:34,532
Wikipedia è gestita dalla Wikimedia Foundation,

97
00:05:34,542 --> 00:05:37,960
una fondazione senza fini di lucro con sede a San Francisco,

98
00:05:37,958 --> 00:05:41,090
che garantisce le risorse per lo sviluppo del progetto.

99
00:05:41,281 --> 00:05:44,554
La fondazione, istituita nel 2003, vive grazie

100
00:05:44,559 --> 00:05:47,233
a sovvenzioni da parte di enti pubblici e privati,

101
00:05:47,235 --> 00:05:51,571
ma soprattutto grazie a moltissime micro-donazioni di singole persone.

102
00:05:51,853 --> 00:05:54,959
Per mantenere assoluta indipendenza e coinvolgere

103
00:05:54,991 --> 00:05:59,277
tanti contributori volontari, su Wikipedia infatti non c'è pubblicità.

104
00:05:59,979 --> 00:06:04,125
Nel frattempo in tutto il mondo sono nate diverse associazioni di volontari

105
00:06:04,181 --> 00:06:07,761
che promuovono localmente Wikipedia e i progetti fratelli.

106
00:06:08,105 --> 00:06:11,624
In Italia dal 2005 esiste Wikimedia Italia,
In Italy it exists Wikimedia Italia from 2005,
00:06:11,671 --> 00:06:15,961
che oltre ai progetti della Wikimedia Foundation, promuove altre iniziative
that beyond Wikimedia Foundation projects, also promotes other initiatives linked to the free diffusion of culture and knowledge.
108
00:06:15,973 --> 00:06:19,662
legate alla diffusione libera della cultura e della conoscenza.

109
00:06:19,898 --> 00:06:23,992
Ed è a Wikimedia Italia che possono rivolgersi la stampa, le aziende
Press, firms and schools can address Wikimedia Italia
110
00:06:24,029 --> 00:06:28,130
e le scuole per avere maggiori informazioni in italiano su Wikipedia.
in order to have more information in Italian on Wikipedia
111
00:06:28,981 --> 00:06:31,905
Tantissimi volontari gratuitamente accumulano,
Many volunteers accumulate, order and
112
00:06:31,913 --> 00:06:35,649
ordinano e strutturano le conoscenze condivise del nostro tempo
organise into structures for free the shared knowledges of our time
113
00:06:35,701 --> 00:06:39,149
per renderle liberamente disponibili. E voi?
to freely make them available. And you?
114
00:06:39,352 --> 00:06:42,605
Siate coraggiosi: Wikipedia è aperta a tutti!
Be bold! Wikipedia is open to everybody!

115
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,000


116
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,000
