Governance structure of Wikipedia: Who has power in Wikipedia?

4 months ago

This video explains how the governance structure of Wikipedia works. We ask the question "Who has power in Wikipedia?" I explain information from this page on Wikipedia's site: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikim.... I explain the organizational diagram on that page, and why Wikipedians think that there are features of so many different power structures, including anarchy, precedent, bureaucracy, despotism, democracy, republic, meritocracy, plutocracy, and technocracy. I explain the roles and privileges of admins, Stewarts and the arbitration committee in Wikipedia.
