crowd sourcing

Crowdsourcing in the context of general knowledge refers to the practice of obtaining information, ideas, or insights from a large group of people, usually through the internet. This can involve platforms where users contribute their knowledge or opinions on various topics, such as Wikipedia. It harnesses the collective intelligence and diverse perspectives of many individuals, allowing for a broad and often richer pool of information. The contributions can enhance accuracy and depth, as well as keep content up-to-date, relying on the willingness of the crowd to share their expertise and experiences.
