W3 : After reading the materials


∎Chapter 1 Nazis and Norms

∎Chapter 2 The Pursuit of the Universal Encyclopedia


1.

The materials presented by the professor talk about Wikipedia in common, and the most central topic is Wikipedia's culture of good faith. First of all, Wikipedia, as everyone knows, is an encyclopedia that many people can participate in. In other words, Wikipedia is a community, because Wikipedia's information is generated by constant communication. When people agree and materialize information, more people can access reliable information.


2.

Here is a law that compares online discussion, located opposite Wikipedia culture. It is Godwin's law. Godwin's law means that if online discussions are prolonged, there is a high possibility of comparison to Hitler, which means that prolonged discussions lead to personal attacks. It was the first time I heard the law, so I remembered it the most after reading the materials, but it was a phenomenon that can be easily seen in our daily lives.


3.

Human beings are not perfect. Unless it's God, we can't know everything and I can't guarantee that what I know is 100% right. However, we take a narrow-minded view of the discussion offline, thinking that only our opinions are correct. Of course, in offline discussions, personal attacks are unlikely, like Godwin's law in online discussions, but it is the same that all negative aspects of online offline discussions begin with closed thinking. In order for our society to move in a positive direction in the future, the culture of cooperation in good faith in Wikipedia needs to be expanded into our daily lives. So how can we realize a culture of good faith cooperation in our daily lives?

W10 : Can we think of some example of how Internet has changed our culture? / 박소민(SOMIN PARK)

 1. Summary  The Internet has changed our culture so much. First, through the Internet, we can meet people regardless of distance. People in each country communicated over the Internet and reduced the barriers to distance by creating relationships. Also, the Internet has let us stay away from books. When we want to find expertise, we can get it from Wikipedia or Google. Even information in books can be obtained through e-books, reducing access to libraries and paper books. 2. Interesting point Further to the above, our brains are gradually degenerating because we don't have to remember information. We are constantly interrupted by SNS notifications ringing on our phones when we do something, so our concentration and attention are being reduced. Furthermore, the ease of obtaining information online is causing our short-term memory to decline. 3. Discussion point I think the Internet has made it easy to sever a relationship with a person because we can meet another person simply...

W7: Review of Good Faith Collaboration / Suyoung Han

  Review of Good Faith Collaboration 1) Summary – Wikipedia from an ethnographic perspective: focusing on collaboration within the community Wikipedia, which is called the world's largest encyclopedia, is an open community and is becoming more and more solid with the participation of various people, conflict, and resolution. In this respect, Joseph M. Reagle Jr. attempted to explain the culture that takes place within Wikipedia. The book describes how Wikipedia was created and what it values. In particular, he described Wikipedia in a book from an ethnographic point of view, and focused on cooperation within the community. 2) Interesting Point – Wikipedia is simple, but not I realized that Wikipedia is not just a site made up of community activities, but rather a collaborative activity that is carried out concretely for the goal. Before I read the book, Wikipedia was an encyclopedia site that only gave me information (even I didn't trust the information), and I thought ...

w9: Its often said by teachers that “Wikipedia is a good place to start, but a bad place to finish” why? LiuXinlei

 Its often said by teachers that “Wikipedia is a good place to start, but a bad place to finish” why? In terms of the comprehensiveness of the content, we have to admit the advantages of Wikipedia. For example, Wikipedia is undoubtedly my first choice when I don't understand an event at all. It is convenient, fast and comprehensive, and I can spend the least time to understand the whole content of this fact as comprehensively and neutrally as possible. But in the process of in-depth learning, Wikipedia can only be used as an introductory content, because in learning we need to understand this fact as much as possible, and we need to understand the different views of scholars in different regions on the same event. There will be different theories. Some theories seem to be not neutral or even discriminatory or ethnographic at present (such as Marxism and Marxism in China), and it is not suitable for Wikipedia. Be shown. In short, Wikipedia has a very low threshold for users. It assu...
