W 7. Good Faith Collaboration / Jung Jisoo

1. Good Faith Collaboration ;

This book explains how Wikipedia works and Wikipedia community. It is divided into eight chapters, dealing with Wikipedia's history, orientation, and problems. As mentioned in several reviews, the characteristics of Wikipedia are described in detail, and at the same time, critical discussion of Wikipedia is analyzed. And through this, we can learn about the parts that need to be continuously discussed in relation to the characteristics of Wikipedia.


2. Interesting point

Wikipedia still has some critical views. For example, as it is an open source platform, it is open, but there will be reliability issues. However, today Wikipedia is a site with many users. Although the participation rate of specific age groups or specific genders is remarkably high, volunteers of various age groups are participating. So, I always find it interesting that Wikipedia maintains a lasting community with a balance between openness and supervision.


3. What I learned

Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia open to anyone. By saying that it is open to anyone, we can think of Wikipedia as a very open and free place. However, there are a set of norms within Wikipedia. Within these norms, people edit articles for a variety of reasons, such as to share their knowledge. The participants in the editing act without wishing for a monetary price. A community formed of these people is being maintained, and in order to understand Wikipedia with these characteristics, I think that understanding of various disciplines and perspectives such as leadership, community, and laws such as copyright is also necessary.

    Jisoo, I read your review of GFC well. Overall, I have a similar idea to yours. In particular, I agree with what you mentioned in the second paragraph, which is very interesting for Wikipedia to keep the balance between openness and governance at the same time.
    Also, as you mentioned, Wikipedia is a society in which people communicate with a set of norms. Therefore, I deeply agree that understanding Wikipedia requires several academic and perspective understandings.

    I read it well read! I think that despite the fact that Wikipedia is freely available to many users, we can guarantee some quality of information because there are rules and norms inside Wikipedia.
    I also agree that understanding from multiple perspectives is necessary to understand the nature of the behavior of multiple users sharing their knowledge and editing articles without financial consideration.

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...
