W6：Why do people contribute to Wikipedia? They are not getting paid... /진신

Wikipedia is a "free encyclopedia" and also a "free encyclopedia". It has always maintained the promise of "free to everyone", no capital, no advertising. Wikipedia's income comes from charitable grants and user funding. Last year, Wikipedia raised 120 million U.S. dollars in "charity", of which more than 85% came from spontaneous personal donations.[1]

The mission of Wikipedia is to transfer all the knowledge of the world to everyone in this world in native languages.  The sole purpose of the Wikipedia community works together to create this free and highest-quality encyclopedia. Wikipedia knows its own philosophy and essential purpose, and ensures that everything it says and does be true to this philosophy. What makes a product power is not its scale and strength, but it's culture, a kind of solid value and beliefs. Only when individuals trust this culture or organization, they will be prepared to take personal risks to promote the overall development of this culture or organization. Because of trust, they will believe what you will do and what you will not do. Every career needs people who agree with your philosophy. Only in this way, they will have taken the initiative to promote it for you, without reminding or rewarding. If they truly agree with your ideas, then they don't need motivation at all. They do this because they are enthusiastic, and this kind of willingness does not need to be paid in exchange.

As a journalism student's perspective：

At a time when fake news and conspiracy theories are flooding social platforms, the pursuit of a neutral and more credible Wikipedia is a quiet corner of the information storm.People find the refuge of knowledge in it.

questions:

Why are many people willing to answer questions on Zhihu but not edit Wikipedia?

W4: What are the pros and cons of using Naver vs Google for research purposes?

Google Scholar: In terms of academic research, Google Scholar is a web search engine that can search academic articles for free. Its source of information is also professional and rich. For example, articles from academic publishers, etc. There are also most of the published academic journals in the world. It also supports advanced search functions such as keywords, classification and filtering, and you can find the most relevant research documents in the entire academic field in a few seconds. Every search result on Google Scholar will show citations. This provides a good extended search clue, which is convenient for users to directly view related papers. As a Chinese student, even in mainland China, Google Scholar cannot directly access and use it. We will still use VPN and other methods for reference when conducting research. NAVER: And naver is more like an interactive community. There are more academic websites in Korea.  As a Chinese student, I think Naver rarely uses for acade

W2 : After watching Mitch Resnick’s TED video

 Through this video, I realized that programming education is not only as deep and professional as I know it, but also more flat and interesting. With the change of the times and the advancement of technology, the times we experience are indeed constantly changing. I believe that programming is just a way of learning like reading. It does not depend on any subjective intentions but exercises people’s logical thinking and creativity. China There is a common saying that “giving others fish is better than fishing for others.” I believe that programming does not exist as a short-lived technology, but behind it is that people need to keep learning with the times and have an open attitude. The purpose of early childhood education is different from the professional education we receive now. Early childhood education is more inclined to teach children the way of thinking, rather than the part of applying knowledge or technology in a professional subject as we are now learning. Therefore, addin

W13/After reading “Categorization”/HARI KIM

Summary) Categorization is a kind of list for dividing topics, and it helps users find information easily. All documents must be in at least one category. Therefore, categories must be well chosen. How are the numerous articles on Wikipedia categorized? First, the category should be chosen as the most helpful topic when someone reads the article. And usually an article doesn't exist in both the top and the subcategories at the same time. If there are few documents in the category you have in mind, you should check to see if they belong to a subcategory. It is also important to maintain a "neutral" perspective when categorizing. New/Interesting things I learned) I learned that usually one document does not exist in both the upper and subcategories at the same time. Before I knew this information, I had made a mistake in categorizing documents. In categorizing articles about rivers, the article was already part of a subcategory, but I have made mistakes by adding a top cate
