This'll is John John wants to write a Wikipedia article about the beginning of the universe.

這將是約翰約翰想寫一篇維基百科的文章，關於宇宙的開始。

He knows that the popular encyclopedia is the work of thousands of volunteer authors.

他知道，大眾百科是成千上萬的志願者作者的作品。

Everyone can contribute.

每個人都可以做出貢獻。

But what does that mean for John's article?

但這對約翰的文章意味著什麼？

Many people have many opinions.

很多人有很多意見。

Political and religious topics often lead to conflict to make sure that Wikipedia's content is trustworthy, all articles air written from a neutral point of view.

政治和宗教話題經常導致衝突，以確保維基百科的內容是值得信賴的，所有的文章都是從中立的角度來寫的。

Because John knows how many discussions there are about this topic, he lists various theories about it to guarantee neutrality.

因為約翰知道關於這個話題的討論有多少，所以他列出了關於這個話題的各種理論，以保證中立性。

He doesn't indicate which one he believes and which ones he rejects.

他沒有說明他相信哪一個，拒絕哪一個。

John stays neutral so that each reader can form their own opinion to uphold the credibility of Wikipedia and his article.

約翰保持中立，讓每個讀者都能形成自己的意見，以維護維基百科和他文章的可信度。

John shows everyone exactly where his knowledge comes from.

約翰向大家展示了他的知識到底從何而來。

So if he writes that his neighbor Ana has been on the moon, he needs to prove that with a good source, good sources include respected technical books, academic publications or well researched press articles.

所以，如果他寫他的鄰居安娜已經登上了月球，他需要用一個好的來源來證明，好的來源包括受人尊敬的技術書籍、學術出版品或經過充分研究的新聞文章。

Online sources can be used as well, of course, but especially in that case, the source must be trustworthy.

當然也可以使用網上的消息來源，但尤其是在這種情況下，消息來源一定要值得信賴。

For that reason, John doesn't rely on Anna's personal blawg, where she presumably doesn't report on events from a neutral point of view.

為此，約翰並不依賴安娜的個人blawg，她大概不會從中立的角度報道事件。

Also, John doesn't site any other Wikipedia articles in his own Wikipedia article because, well, it's a vicious circle.

另外，約翰也沒有在自己的維基百科文章中收錄任何其他維基百科文章，因為，這是一個惡性循環。

Also, John links to Hiss sources for everyone who wants to read more about the topic.

另外，約翰還為大家鏈接了希斯的資料來源，供大家閱讀更多關於這個話題的資料。

Also that way, every reader can decide for themselves how reliable the sources, by the way, facts that are widely established, such as that the Earth is round okay and oblate spheroid don't require citations from John.

另外，這樣一來，每個讀者都可以自己決定消息來源的可靠性，對了，那些被廣泛認可的事實，比如地球是圓的還好，扁球體不需要約翰的引用。
