Identify one of the criteria highlighted in the thesis statement above from the article, “Wikepedia, open source and the truth.”

Here is your task:
THESIS STATEMENT: The Listening Post’s Richard Gizbert sat down with Katherine Maher, who has been Wikimedia Foundation’s executive director for almost one year, to talk about the methods and standards that make Wikipedia a source that journalists, students, teachers and professionals in all industries feel they can rely on.
1. Identify one of the criteria highlighted in the thesis statement above from the article, “Wikepedia, open source and the truth.” Copy and paste direct quote of evidence (1-2 sentences) which the author uses to support the criterion you identify. Explain the purpose or how this quote supports thesis criterion.
See Example:
Journalists: “In fact, behind every Wikipedia page there is a newsroom of sorts, populated by volunteer contributors and editors, operating with full transparency, researching and referencing every claim to make sure that the content fits the facts.
Purpose: This quote is a good example of how to directly connect evidence to the thesis statement by following the quote with a comparison to newsroom standards. This illustrates the serious side of Wikipedia, which is reliable.
2. Copy and paste a quote that supports one of the three remaining criteria in thesis statement above. Then In 1 – 2 sentences paraphrase this quote careful to meet the standards to avoid plagiarism. It may be longer than original quote, but attempt to make your paraphrasing shorter than the original passage.
3. Write a summary of the article which is significantly shorter than the original and takes a broad overview of the entire content in the article.
