There is a strange scene in Baidu Encyclopedia Bar, that is, many users ask for help here, asking other users who are qualified to edit encyclopedia business cards to help create or modify encyclopedia business cards. This is a good phenomenon. It shows that many users want to make the encyclopedia entries better and more complete. It also shows that many users are willing to respond to such help, which forms a beneficial exchange of mutual help. I hope that these meaningful exchanges will continue to flourish on Baidu Encyclopedia.

Baidu official seems to have nowhere to specifically explain how to edit encyclopedia business cards. I am here to share some experiences with you.

The encyclopedia business card is the soul of an entry, the finishing touch. If an entry is compared to a knife, this encyclopedia business card is the blade. Some users browsing the encyclopedia during busy times may just browse the business card. The business card is written If the business card is good, it can attract readers to continue reading, and even trigger deep screams and exclamations from readers; if the business card is a mess, readers will feel nauseous, turn off their phones, and scold Baidu. It can be seen that the business card is a very important part of an entry. The number of words in an encyclopedia business card is limited, so it is not easy to edit it properly.

You should pay attention to the following things when editing encyclopedia business cards:

First, you must have a correct editing attitude. If you are not familiar with this field, please make sure you do some homework to understand the relevant knowledge. And make a summary and prepare a good draft, otherwise please do not touch the business card of this entry.

Second, the words used in the business card should be concise and to the point, not wordy, the text should be smooth, and the expression should be logical. After editing, don’t rush to submit, think over and over again, and change the expression, okay? Do you want to put this comma in the middle? Think twice. If you were a reader, how would you expect to see this business card written?

Third, if it is a deceased celebrity, the narrative in the business card should be concise and to the point, and it is best to follow the order of his life.

Fourth, no matter what the entry is, the most meaningful, connotative, valuable and critical content of the entry should be found and put into the business card. This places a requirement on the editor, that is, you must know more about this entry. For example, for the entry of Samaranch, the encyclopedia business card before editing was as follows:

Marquis de Samaranch, Spanish, former President of the International Olympic Committee, and Honorary Lifetime President of the International Olympic Committee. Samaranch died of illness in Barcelona, ??Spain on April 21, 2010, at the age of 89.

(Quotation completed)

This kind of information is the words to fill in the funeral parlor's journal, not the encyclopedia business card.

After editing, it is like this

/view/2142.htm

The Marquis of Samaranch, a Spaniard, the lifelong honorary president of the International Olympic Committee. He has long been concerned about and supported China's sports undertakings, and made significant contributions to China's return to the international Olympic family in 1979 and China's successful bid to host the 2008 Summer Olympics. He served as President of the International Olympic Committee for 21 years. During his tenure, he successfully promoted the commercialization of the Olympic Games and helped the International Olympic Committee escape from financial crisis. At the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, he personally awarded China the first Olympic gold medal in history. Samaranch died of illness in Barcelona, ??Spain on April 21, 2010, at the age of 89.

This kind of business card contains much better information. Even Samaranch said he was great, but where is his greatness? We must describe the most important and shining things in his life. This is a Chinese encyclopedia. We must use words to highlight his value to China, Chinese sports, and his status in the hearts of the Chinese people. This involves one point, that is, the editor must carefully explore as much information as possible on an entry, and deeply understand the relevant knowledge, historical background, historical significance, etc. of this entry.

Fifth, if possible, add some idioms or other gorgeous words, or even trendy slang, but the words used must be commensurate with the entry.

Sixth, do not include too many links in the business card. Do not put unnecessary links. For example, most readers know what this word is, China. Do not add links to professional terms or words that ordinary readers are not familiar with. It is best to add links to words, otherwise it will be all blue and unsightly.

Seventh, if you help others edit business cards but there is insufficient information, please find a way to find more information. For example, many users ask for help in editing the entry and business cards of new star singers. You may wish to post and ask that user for relevant information. For a singer, the people who know him/her best are often his/her fans. Get more information from fans, and then you edit and process it carefully.

8. The words in the business card should be precise and avoid using the first person. Do not use first-person expressions such as "our country." For example, "Raising interest rates is one of the important means of macro-control in my country" should be changed to "Raising interest rates is one of the important means of financial control for a country or region." In short, editors must use their brains and think about it. If I write it like this and submit it, what are the loopholes?

9. If an entry already has a business card, a master editor should be good at discovering errors in the original version and correcting them. For example, the original business card of the "Futures" entry is as follows:

Futures (Futures) usually refers to futures contracts.

It is a standardized contract formulated by a futures exchange that stipulates the delivery of a certain amount of subject matter at a specific time and place in the future. The subject matter can be a certain commodity, a certain financial instrument, or a certain financial indicator. The buyer of a futures contract, if he holds the contract to maturity, is obligated to buy the underlying object of the futures contract; and the seller of the futures contract, if he holds the contract to maturity, is obligated to sell the underlying object of the futures contract. Traders of underlying, futures contracts may also choose to offset this obligation by making reverse purchases and sales before the contract expires. The broad concept of futures also includes exchange-traded options contracts. Most futures exchanges list both futures and options.

(Quotation completed)

This encyclopedia business card has a serious mistake, that is, it confuses futures with futures contracts. The entire business card refers to the wrong concept. Insurance and insurance contracts are two concepts. Similarly, futures are certainly not the same as futures contracts.

After modification, the encyclopedia business card of the "Futures" entry is as follows:

/view/2348.htm

Futures (Futures) are opposite to spot. Futures are subject matter that is bought and sold now, but will be settled or delivered in the future. This subject matter can be a certain commodity such as gold, crude oil, agricultural products, a financial instrument, or a financial indicator. The delivery date of futures can be one week later, one month later, three months later, or even one year later. A contract or agreement to buy or sell futures is called a futures contract. The place where futures are bought and sold is called the futures market. Investors can invest or speculate in futures. Inappropriate speculation in futures, such as short selling, can lead to financial market instability.

Ten. Show kindness without repaying it. Editing encyclopedia entries is a thankless job. Don't edit encyclopedia business cards just to get points. Every time I edit an encyclopedia entry, I spend a lot of time (it must be more than an hour, mainly collecting information and refining the text), but the checkout is only one point, and often not even five points for complex editing.

However, after you have trimmed a business card, you will have a sense of accomplishment, you will benefit the community, you will make the encyclopedia more beautiful, and you will make Baidu Encyclopedia a small step towards the "ultimate"
