W7: Good Faith Collaboration / MINKYO JEONG, 정민교

1) summary

It contains almost everything about Wikipedia. So, it's an encyclopedia of Wikipedia. The book focuses on the successful aspects of Wikipedia in particular.

The author describes the form of an open platform encyclopedia called Wikipedia, which people have craved, and explains why Wikipedia has succeeded as a successful open encyclopedia by linking it to human intrinsic and ethnographic characteristics. It was a new approach for me to recognize Wikipedia as just encyclopedia.

 

2) What was interesting

As mentioned in several reviews, it is impressive that this book focuses a lot on the successful aspects of Wikipedia. There are minor criticisms and concerns about Wikipedia, which seems to be because the author is taking a positive stance on Wikipedia. In particular, since Wikipedia is not financially addressing the insecurity, discussions on this part also seem to be needed. But overall, the author's not-so-difficult tone increased access to the book.

 

3) Things to talk about

I would like to discuss what Wikipedia should pursue in the future. Up to now, Wikipedia has shown successful achievements as an open platform, depending on human nature, and technology to support it. However, as in the last lecture, Wikipedia users are decreasing these days. Is there any way for Wikipedia to reach its golden age again?

    Hi, 민교.
    Your writing is always good to read. I'm not exactly the answer to your question, but I'll give you my opinion. Wikipedia was not successful from the beginning either. However, they have gone through trials and errors, solved problems, and now they are here(successful open community). Wouldn't it be important to adapt to unfamiliar network environments in order to increase more users? Wikipedia is a new form of encyclopedia, and at first we were probably not familiar with how to use it. But we are adjusting to that before we know it.

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...
