Wie kann ich Wikipedia helfen?

Danke für dein Interesse, Wikipedia zu verbessern. Wikipedia setzt auf Freiwillige, die Inhalte erstellen und pflegen sowie Richtlinien und Richtlinien erstellen, um die Website zu steuern. Es ist ein gemeinsames Projekt, bei dem Menschen aus aller Welt ihre Fähigkeiten und Interessen mitbringen, um sich der Sammlung und Verbreitung von Wissen an alle, überall, kostenlos anzuschließen. Die anderen Projekte, die wir betreuen, sind auch kollaborative, Crowdsourced-Projekte, welche auf Freiwillige angewiesen sind.

Es gibt viele Möglichkeiten zu helfen.

• Betreibst du gerne Recherche oder schreibst gerne? Wusstest du schon, dass du direkt zu Wikipediaartikeln beitragen kannst? Jede Sprachversion der Wikipedia hat Informationen wie du Beiträge leisten kannst, auf der linken Seite verlinkt, zum Beispiel unter "Mitmachen". Das Tutorial der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia findet sich unter de:Wikipedia:Tutorial.
• Fotografierst du gerne? Malst Bilder? Kreierst Diagramme, Karten oder stellst Audiodateien zusammen? Dann gibt es auch für dich einen Platz! Medien, die du erstellt hast, welche enzyklopädischen Wert haben und die du bereit bist, der Wikipedia zu spenden, können auf Wikimedia Commons hochgeladen werden. Dort können sie auf Wikipedia und anderen Wikimedia Projekten genutzt werden. Siehe auch How to create an account (ein kurzes Intro von Maggie Dennis, Englisch).
• Are you a programmer or web developer or interested in becoming one? Did you know that even the software Wikipedia uses is largely developed by volunteers? If you're interested in pitching in there, please see How to become a MediaWiki hacker.

Since the Wikimedia Foundation is an online service provider, not a publisher, we do not actually take an active hand in governing the communities. Most of its policies and practices are created by volunteers, who can best help if you have questions about the volunteering experience. If you would like more information, you may want to visit the "help" forums linked on the left hand side of each page on our website to learn where questions can be addressed to the community, or you might want to write info@wikimedia.org.

Bei einem Wikimedia Projekt wird Falsches getan, wie kann ich das ändern?

Wikipedia is a collaborative encyclopedia (as explained at Wikipedia:Introduction), and so anyone may edit its articles. It does have policies governing article development, which were also created by community collaboration. In a nutshell, information in articles must be verifiable to reliable sources, as defined by the community, and must be written from a neutral point of view, representing all majority and significant-minority views fairly and without bias. (See Wikipedia:Five pillars.)

There is no central authority over Wikipedia. The Wikimedia movement is based in part on the premise that good articles are achievable through the checks and balances editors provide for each other. When editors disagree on how to achieve these goals, they must resolve disputes through consensus, drawing on the wider community where necessary. You can read more about the dispute resolution processes at WP:DR. A list of ways people can seek dispute resolution can be found at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution requests. You will note in reading those pages that dispute resolution process also exist to resolve behavioral disputes – if editors believe that others are obstructing the proper development of Wikipedia, the community is the avenue of appeal for that as well.

If you believe that article content is being developed in a manner inconsistent with the policies discussed above, or that editors are obstructing the proper development of Wikipedia, I would encourage you to join the community in working through the issues within the dispute resolution process. You don't even need to log in to edit, although creating an account gives you more options and helps you keep track of your contributions. You can create an account at en:Special:UserLogin/signup. Wikipedia:Introduction and Wikipedia:Tutorial are useful reading for newcomers. I would encourage you to refer back to the Five Pillars, linked above, and especially the fourth section in your engagement with others, as following these principles is generally very helpful in successful collaboration.
