Wikipedia activity
Шаблон:Update section Lih is a Wikipedia contributor and administrator on the English Wikipedia.[13] In 2009, he published the book The Wikipedia Revolution: How a Bunch of Nobodies Created the World's Greatest Encyclopedia. Lih has been interviewed by Salon.com,[14] The New York Times Freakonomics blog,[15] and NPR Talk of the Nation[16] as an expert on Wikipedia.
Lih has stated that editing Wikipedia with smartphones is difficult, hence discouraging new potential contributors. He also says that for several years running, the number of Wikipedia editors has been falling and that there is serious disagreement among existing contributors on how to resolve this. In 2015, Lih expressed fear that these situations could imperil Wikipedia's long-term future.[17]
In 2022, Lih was named a Wikimedia Laureate.[18]
