W3: What is Wikipedia? / Suyoung Han

What is Wikipedia?


1) Summarize – What is Wikipedia?

Wikipedia, one of the world's most famous sites, is also large and has various languages as there are many users. Wikipedia's vision has a dreaming a world where people are free of all knowledge, which explains why Wikipedia is freely available.

However, there are some cautions when editing a Wikipedia: Wikipedia topics should be famous enough to catch the attention of the world, not side into one position, be quoting carefully, and finally avoid plagiarism.

Through this learning, we intend to edit Wikipedia in earnest.


2) Interesting items learned – A voluntary contribution to knowledge (How do you feel that?)

It was very interesting that the editor didn’t take ownership of what was written on Wikipedia. This consciousness came to me very differently because it is contrary to modern copyright consciousness. I was concerned about this idea, because if I didn't own the information, I would lose my competitiveness.

However, by voluntarily donating knowledge by people, Wikipedia was able to grow and is favored as the most representative information site in the modern world. As I thought about these results for myself, I realized that sharing information with others rather than owning it can lead to good results.


3) Discussion angle – Wikipedia's vision of reality (Is this realistic?)

In my opinion Wikipedia's vision is realistic. The method of acquiring knowledge is being developed so that users can easily access it, involved in changes in tools. In the past, knowledge was acquired through discovery or invention, or through direct experimentation, but nowadays, information can be obtained simply by searching at home.

I think Wikipedia is at the center of this. In particular, Wikipedia is growing with the development of the Internet, and the information accumulated each time and the interface that is easy to use will appear attractive to more and more diverse people. With these advantages, Wikipedia will continue to grow, and I think Wikipedia will make their vision a reality in the end.

    I think Wikipedia's vision is a bit unrealistic. Wikipedia's vision is to share knowledge freely among all individuals. I think it will be difficult to become a website for ‘all individuals'. While technology advances and many people accept it well, there are also people who find it difficult to adapt. I think Wikipedia may be difficult to access for those who still have difficulty using the Internet. Wikipedia will develop for their vision, but isn't it difficult for 'all individuals' to share information through Wikipedia?

    I think Wikipedia's vision is unrealistic yet. Wikipedia is said to have the authority to share and edit knowledge, but I think it is a difficult website to access.
    People who are familiar with Wikipedia think it is easy to access, but difficult to use unless they know it.
    I think Wikipedia's vision should be more accessible for it to take place.

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 ...

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...

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...
