【新唐人2013年11月09日讯】中文《维基百科》网站的编辑来自中、港、台三地及海外华人，《维基百科》的词条，编辑们都可以进行修改，如果意见分歧，编辑们会通过讨论然后确定。因此，《维基百科》成为中、港、台华人，不同的意识形态和思想观念交锋的一个平台。而中国人对于“六四事件”和“中华民国”等概念，也因此有了超越大陆教科书和官方媒体之外的认识。
《纽约时报》10月30号报导说，《维基百科》的编辑都是志愿者，在中国政治、历史和传统文化方面，编辑们提出了彼此对立的观点，也就是不同版本的中国，这使得一些条目成了一触即发的导火索，导致一些存在争议的条目被限制编辑。
例如，自从网站创办以来，有关1989年北京天安门广场上，军事镇压民众的条目，就经历了多次“编辑大战”。编辑们争论的内容包括是否“屠杀”，中共军队是否“通过武力”镇压，以及北京当局是否“隐瞒了真相”。
台湾维基媒体基金会主席简翔泰：“一开始是有人觉得，真的有这个事情吗？因为当初中国官方（中共）是不承认有这个事情的。有的人会提供国际报导之类的，也有些照片出来、有些报导出来之后，大家才慢慢的……因为维基百科的社群方针是，如果你有可靠的新闻来源的话，文章的内容就可以编辑上去。”
台湾维基媒体基金会主席简翔泰说，《维基百科》强调引用具有公信力的信息来源。由于大家都看到了美国有线电视新闻网（Cable News Network, CNN），或其他有公信力的媒体做的报导，大家就觉得应该把“天安门事件”写进《维基百科》，不管他们觉不觉得这个事情是真的。
香港维基媒体协会代表陈子恩说，如果遇到各方意见分歧巨大，词条被反复修改，管理员可以暂时关闭词条的编辑，要求各方进行讨论。
陈子恩：“例如钓鱼岛的条目，你可以看到，一边是条目，一边是讨论。假如真的没办法，真的讨论不了，而且有很多人在编辑，就做成一个editing word，那时候就会由管理员去封锁条目，到community（社群）确定真的解决了以后才可以解封。”
台湾延续中华民国的称号，而来自中国大陆的编辑觉得，“中华民国”是1949年以后就不再存在的名词。
简翔泰：“我们跟他们讲我们这边的状况，他们理解说，其实我们这边有独立的政府，独立的领导人，有实际的治理权。他们就会认知到，（台湾）这边原来有一个不一样的政治环境。”
最终大家会尊重现状，各方并存，把不同报章杂志报导过的观点都加进去。简翔泰表示，《维基百科》这个平台令他开阔了视野。
简翔泰：“其实大家都有自己的想法和看法，虽然是冲突没有错，但是提出来之后反而能够让大家都了解，他的想法如何。为什么他会这样想。我觉得是促进大家对彼此之间的了解。”
维基媒体国际大会第九届会议，8月9号在香港召开，《维基百科》创办人卫詹美（Jimmy Wales）在接受港媒访问时强调，中共当局将无法继续对网民进行讯息封锁，因“互联网会战胜审查”。
大陆网友可以看到《维基百科》的普通词条，但是不能看到所谓的“敏感词条”，比如“六四”、“中华民国”、“台湾独立”等。简翔泰表示，大陆网友可以使用翻墙软件查阅。
同时也有大陆网友加入《维基百科》，成为管理员。比如，来自北京，出席香港国际大会的一名“维基人”Filip表示，中共封锁网页情况严重，如无法在《维基百科》搜寻达赖喇嘛﹔而来自河北的Leo批评中国“山寨百科网站”为所欲为，在《维基》发布的讯息，迅速会被山寨版抄袭。
卫詹美对香港媒体表示，《百度百科》抄袭《维基》的内容违反人权。他认为，《维基》和《百度百科》不同，因为《维基百科》“直接就道出事实的真相”。

Wikipedia Becomes the Platform in Hong Kong, Taiwan and China
Chinese “Wikipedia" site editors came from China, Hongkong,
Taiwan and overseas.
“Wikipedia" entries can be modified by
editors through discussion.
Therefore, the “Wikipedia" has become a different ideological
platform for Taiwan, Hong Kong and the Chinese.
For the concepts of the “June 4th Incident" and “Republic of
China", the Chinese people have more of an understanding
beyond the textbooks and official mainland media.
On 30th October, the New York Times reported that ‘Wikipedia’
editors are volunteers.
Regarding Chinese politics, history and traditional cultural
aspects, editors raised opposing views which offers different
information about China.
It triggers controversial lists which restrict on editing.
For example, the entry of “1989 Beijing Tiananmen Square
Military repression” has experienced a number of editing wars
since the website launched.
The topics, editors debated include whether massacre, whether
the Chinese military repressed by force, as well as whether
the Beijing authorities concealed the truth.
Taiwan Wikimedia Foundation Chairman Jian Xiangtai: at the
beginning, since the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials
did not recognize it, some people doubted about it.
Then people slowly accepted it with
international news and pictures.
The policy of the Wikipedia community is that if you have
reliable news, your article can be edited and posted.
Chairman of the Taiwan Wikimedia Foundation, Jian Xiangtai
emphasized that Wikipedia cites credible information sources.
Everybody felt that we should post the Tiananmen incident into
Wikipedia after seeing it from CNN (Cable News Network)
no matter if it was true or not.
Hong Kong Wikimedia institute representative Chen Zien said
that the administrator can temporarily turn off the entry
editing to discuss it, if there is a huge disagreement
between the parties.
Hong Kong Wikimedia institute representative Chen Zien:
For the entry of the Diaoyu Island, you can see that one side
is the entry side and the other is discussion.
The administrator can block the entry using an editing word
until it is solved in the community if there is no way to
discuss it, but many people are editing it.
The editor from mainland thought the word of “Republic of
China” no longer exists after 1949 even though Taiwan
continues using “ROC" in the title.
Jane Xiangtai: when we told them our situation, they can
realize that Taiwan has a different political environment with
an independent government, leaders and sovereignty.
Eventually everyone will respect the status quo combining
the points from newspapers and magazines into the entry.
Jane Xiangtai said the platform of Wikipedia makes him
broaden his horizons.
Jane Xiangtai: in fact everyone has their own ideas and views
although conflict exist.
It will promote an understanding between each other if you
raise your ideas and reasoning.
The ninth session of International Wikimedia Conference was
held on 9th August in Hong Kong.
The founder Jimmy Wales stressed in the Hong Kong media
interview that the Chinese authorities will not be able to
continue to block information through the internet because the
Internet will overcome the review.
Mainland netizens can read the ordinary entries and
non-sensitive entries such as “June 4th", “ROC",
“Taiwan independence" etc in wikimedia.
Jane Xiangtai said that the mainland users can use software
to bypass over the firewall shield.
There is a mainland administrator in the Wikipedia team.
For example, Filip who was from Beijing to attend the Hong
Kong International Wikipedians Conference said the CCP blocked
the web site seriously and you couldn’t search for Dalai Lama
on Wikipedia in China.
Leo who is from Hebei criticized that the cottage Encyclopedia
Website can do whatever they want and even copy the
information published on Wikipedia.
Jimmy Wales said to Hong Kong media it is a human rights
violation that Baidu Encyclopedia copies
the content from Wikipedia.
There are differences between the Baidu Encyclopedia and
Wikipedia because Wikipedia tells the truth directly.
