W4： Thoughts after reading 'Good Faith Collaboration' and 'The Puzzle of Openness'

Thoughts after reading  'Good Faith Collaboration' and 'The Puzzle of Openness'


1. Summary

A: Good Faith Collaboration

Introduced the origin and history of Good Faith Collaboration，and Information on Wikipedia policies and guidelines，from which I learned that mutual respect is the most basic courtesy，All contributors on Wikipedia should be respected. Wikipedia's culture of cooperation –" neutral perspective "(NPOV) and sincere attitude require all participants to build together.


 B: The Puzzle of Openness

5 characteristics of the Wikipedia community highlighted： 
a. open-content 
b. Transparency 
c. Integrity 
d. Non-discrimination 
e. No interference.

2. Interesting point

Wikipedia’s editing simulation adopts the neutral point of view NPOV (Neutral Point Of View) to avoid Wikipedia’s endless arguments.

The principle of neutrality based on the wiki:" to express, on an equal footing, any important opinion ever expressed in a reliable source "implies: Even if the content of the argument is biased by the editor, as long as the source is reliable, the argument itself should be a reasonable reference.

If there are reliable sources and are expressed equally, at least this view represents the views of many people (scholars) in the world. Although you as a client may feel that such a view is unfair, if not allowed to be expressed by many people, it will be the greatest disaster!

Human knowledge and ideas are the results of communication, So what I understand is that what we should object to is not whether the content of the entry itself is biased, but that the entry only refers to the one-sided statement of the family, and deliberately eliminates the sound of opposition, or uses too many subjective adjectives.

3. Discussion point

Do you think Wikipedia has collective prejudice?

W7: GFC book notes By 'William S. Kowinski' , 'Cory Doctorow','Piotr Konieczny' and 'Paul Youngquist'/ 진신

Summary- William S. Kowinski: The true exception is the innovative success of a collaborative effort that has prime online reference work called Wikipedia. This book is not meant to be biography or reportage, but contemporary ethnography or study of a culture. What this book does well is describe how Wikipedia works and what issues have arisen.  It's short on drama and personality，and so it's probably destined to be a source document. Since that seems unlikely, this may remain the best opportunity for learning about this remarkable project. Summary- Cory Doctorow: Reagle makes an excellent case that this assumption of good faith is particularly powerful when it comes to dealing with those who lack good faith — it creates positive outcomes for arguments with everyone from neo-Nazis to political hacks who're whitewashing their boss's entries. Wikipedia's most fascinating and unprecedented aspect isn't the encyclopedia itself — rather, it's the collaborative cu...

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...

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...
