[Week 12]

 As a community, wikipedia has a ruling system that maintian the encyclopedia. There are lots of ruling system such as democrcy, aristocracy, monarchy etc. Sadly, Wikipedia is not an anarchy, though it has anarchistic features. And Wikipedia is not a democracy, though it has democratic features. And Wikipedia is not an aristocracy, though it has aristocratic features. Also, Wikipedia is not a monarchy, though it has monarchical features.

 By the way, how Wikipedia maintatined at all? Thanks to the voluntary and meritocratic character of open content communities it is not surprising that leaders are expected to lead by example as their very leadership is founded. Although, the management system like that and power of collectiveness, the need for “dictatorship” arises from the difficulty inherent to decision making in large, voluntary, and consensus-oriented communities.

Let’s think about the ideal leadership not only for wikipeidia but our real life from small unit to large scale thing.
