I have been wondering that if an amateur version of Wikipedia has had the ability to inspire (the number of active Wikipedians) including me, then there could be more people to get inspired if there is a professional version of Wikipedia!
I recently watched the full episodes of Asa ga Kita with my parents and have been astonished by how similar the issues Japanese find spirited/sweet/sorrowful/difficult to what we also find the same in our day-to-day moments in life. I feel what they would face during their lifetime is 95% like us. The only 5% difference is in culture.
Notes related to my Wikipedia work and activities

I strongly believe that Wikipedia should not limit itself to just being an amateur encyclopedia.
For example, I really want to maintain the quality of Russell Barkley and Edward Hallowell (psychiatrist), but just don't have the resources such as time! I think that Wikipedia has to run a new platform called Wikipedia Trial in which WP:COI is removed for experiment purposes. The logic behind this is simple -- you cannot let Wikipedians end up being trapped in poverty just because they like reading reliable sources and sharing what they've learned!
I originally planned to work on Individualized Education Program but my watchlist reminded me of there had been significant changes made to Russell Barkley and Edward Hallowell (psychiatrist) since I last visited. Thus, I once again faced the dilemma of going back to those biographies or shifting my attention to something else. It a dilemma because real-life only permits me to spend about 30 minutes today.
I see many people win prizes in professional and amateur events such as singing, biking, drawing, gaming, and so on. Why does there not exist an event with a prize that is given to someone as a reward for doing good work at reading reliable sources and sharing what they've learned? Ok, 30 minutes is up...

The core spirit of democracy has centered on how the powerful treat the less powerful, and rule of law and vote are just some means of achieving the eventual goal, namely a fair environment.
Tyranny of the majority provides another explanation for why democracy is not identical to vote.

I strongly feel that we ought to make room for human being's built-in humanity to shine. Otherwise, the plot of Train to Busan will soon become the reality.
I am reiterating this because "World Economic Outlook, April 2021: Managing Divergent Recoveries". IMF. 2021-03-23. Retrieved 2021-04-13. just suggested that The North-South divide in the world is widening expeditiously.
Peace is simply not possible if everyone ends up having to do tough battles against others in order to survive.
These are some of the motivation that has had pushed me to search for WP:Reliable sources to improve the articles regarding working hours, language barrier, and collective intelligence. Long working hour worldwide is holding back life-long learning, a crucial element to live up to the era of big data. The language barrier is precipitating misunderstandings leading to the political crisis threatening our long-term welfare. A platform featuring collective intelligence such as Wikipedia Gamma & Wikinews Gamma are required to inspire future generations, which also gives the voices (science-centric quality debate) to the most vulnerable people around the world, which is one of the most sacred values inside Democracy. The one-time vote does not have such a function.
As a Wikipedian inspired by Martin Luther King, I have a dream that one day every citizen around the world will have equal access to the treasures behind the paywall, and every living creature will have affordable access to medical care and education. Because they are what make us become the animal 2.0.

Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee/Noticeboard § Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/RexxS closed once again reminds me that how a misunderstanding to be dissolved if there's a language barrier between people with competing views? What if RexxS' supporters had difficulty expressing their feelings, thoughts, idea, or information to other people in English? Under the condition of language barrier, dissolving misunderstanding into tears and laugh is simply impossible and will otherwise give rise to a long-term unspoken divide, namely, hate.
Communication: A successful communication void of misunderstanding between either two people or two end devices requires a shared language and grammar/format, simply having the medium is not enough.[1]
