He is the guy who is in his room editing Wikipedia more than three million times.

他就是那個在房間裡編輯維基百科超過300萬次的人。

Who is he And why is he doing this?

他是誰，為什麼要這麼做？

Aunt, how much knowledge does he have for the first time ever, I want to introduce you to Steven.

姑姑，他有多少知識，有史以來第一次，我想把你介紹給史蒂芬。

Hi, I'm Steven on.

嗨，我是史蒂芬。

I have made the largest number of edits to Wikipedia in the world.

我是世界上對維基百科進行編輯最多的人。

This guy is single handedly responsible for million's off Wikipedia edits, and he lives here in a small town in Virginia USA, and he has a normal job and a normal life.

這傢伙一手包辦了維基百科上百萬次的編輯，他住在美國弗吉尼亞州的一個小鎮上，他有一份正常的工作和正常的生活。

You see, 16 years ago, when Steven was still in university, he came across a small, unknown encyclopedia that anyone can contribute to.

你看，16年前，史蒂文還在讀大學的時候，他發現了一本不知名的小百科全書，任何人都可以為它投稿。

So he had the idea to write about his great great grandfather, Peter Francisco, who fought in the American Revolutionary War.

於是他萌生了寫他的曾曾祖父彼得-弗朗西斯科的想法，他曾參加過美國獨立戰爭。

E thought would be fun to write about Peter because I know about him and the family knew about him.

E認為寫彼得的事會很有趣，因為我知道他的事，家人也知道他的事。

But he wasn't in any mainstream encyclopedias.

但他不在任何主流百科全書中。

So Stephen wrote about his ancestor, published it.

於是，斯蒂芬寫了關於他的祖先，發表了。

And then from that one article, he got excited because now he could educate the world from his basement.

然後從那一篇文章開始，他就興奮了，因為現在他可以在地下室裡教育世界了。

But I love about Wikipedia is that it allows you to cover topics not usually found in the mainstream Western media.

但我喜歡維基百科的原因是，它允許你報道西方主流媒體通常沒有的話題。

It allows anybody in the world to have their voice.

它讓世界上的任何人都能發出自己的聲音。

So he wrote another article and another and another.

於是他又寫了一篇文章，又寫了一篇，又寫了一篇。

And before he knew it, he's written thousands.

而在他知道之前，他已經寫了上千篇。

It started, and it was sort of like, Oh, well, that's cute.

開始的時候，它是有點像， 哦，好吧，這是可愛的。

And then when I started getting a lot of edits for it, there comes a point when it goes from that you tell people you have how many?

然後當我開始收到很多編輯的時候，有一個點，從你告訴別人你有多少？

Wow.

哇哦

So far, he has edited over three million and written more than 35 articles.

到目前為止，他已經編輯了300多萬，寫了35篇以上的文章。

And the best part.

還有最棒的部分。

He's been doing this for 16 years, three hours a day, and he wasn't even paid a single dollar to do it.

他已經做了16年，每天3小時，他甚至沒有得到一分錢的報酬。

Why am I doing it for free?

我為什麼要免費做？

Um, to be perfectly honest, I've never been very good at making money.

嗯，說實話，我一直不擅長賺錢。

My mother grew up in the Soviet Union, and from the stories that she's told me, I understand what it's like to live in a place where access to information is so heavily guarded.

我的母親在蘇聯長大，從她告訴我的故事中，我明白了生活在一個資訊獲取如此嚴密的地方是什麼感覺。

If you make this information free, then the more people that have access to it do more with it, and it makes for a free or better and ultimately stronger society.

如果你把這些資訊免費，那麼更多的人能夠獲得這些資訊，就會利用這些資訊做更多的事情，這就使得一個自由的或者說更好的，最終強大的社會。

But the question on everyone's mind is, how accurate is Wikipedia?

但大家的疑問是，維基百科的準確度如何？

And how can a guy like this help edit three million articles?

而這樣的人怎麼能幫助編輯300萬篇文章呢？

Well, turns out, Wikipedia is more accurate than you think.

事實證明，維基百科比你想象的更準確。

For every article, every paragraph, even every sentence, someone like Steven has to fact check that it's true, like super fact check.

每一篇文章，每一段話，甚至每一句話，都要有一個像史蒂文這樣的人去查證它的真實性，就像超級查證一樣。

The potential is practically limitless for how you could redefine who is worthy of being included in the canon of knowledge.

對於你如何重新定義誰值得被列入知識典籍，潛力實際上是無限的。

You can create an entire ecosystem in that language online, and it's user generated.

你可以在網上用這種語言創建一個完整的生態系統，而且是用戶生成的。

The potential for where we are now is it's huge potential, for we could be in 100 years is massive in 500 years and even 1000 years out.

我們現在所處的位置是它的潛力是巨大的，因為我們100年後可能是巨大的500年後甚至1000年後。

It's huge if you want to take the long view, which which I kind of like to do.

如果你想從長計議的話，那就大有可為了，這也是我喜歡做的。

That's why Stephen Yes, this guy in the basement was chosen as one of the most influential people in the world by Time magazine on.

這就是為什麼斯蒂芬是的，這個在地下室的傢伙被《時代》雜誌選為世界上最有影響力的人之一，在。

I'm pretty sure never knew that before.

我很確定以前從不知道。

Stephen doesn't right based on feelings or hunches or guesses, he Onley rights based on facts, with multiple sources and lots off evidence.

斯蒂芬並不是根據感覺、直覺或猜測來判斷正確與否，他是根據事實來判斷正確與否的，有多種來源和大量的證據。

I never depend on just one source.

我從不只依賴一個來源。

I'll look through books, encyclopedia as websites.

我會把書本、百科全書當網站看。

Anything I could get my hands on the world needs to thank people like Steven who give up their free time and their family time just to share information to the world.

任何我可以得到的東西，這個世界都需要感謝像Steven這樣的人，他們放棄了自己的空閒時間和家庭時間，只為向世界分享資訊。

So a kid in a village 5000 miles away can open up their phone, load up Wikipedia and learn something new entirely for free people like Steven off the reason humanity is beautiful.

所以，5000英里外的村莊裡的孩子可以打開手機，加載維基百科，完全免費學習新的東西，像史蒂文關這樣的人，人性之所以美好。
