W7 : The Review of Good Faith Collaboration

Summary

Good Faith Collaboration discusses a community's collaborative culture with Wikipedia. In Wikipedia, many people with a variety of perspectives write and edit articles about various subjects. Anyone can edit the articles so it is so common that several people edit an article. It means that people with different ideologies work in a group in Wikipedia. This collaborative character of Wikipedia presents the collaborative culture in a community.


Interesting point and useful points

I was interested that in the part of “Patience”, the book says that “Please Don’t Bite the Newcomers”. It stresses that people who are used to editing articles treat kindly and nicely new members of Wikipedia who try to participate in editing. Unless people scold and point out with no respect, new members get scared to participate in Wikipedia works. Therefore, Wikipedia cannot be developed.


Discussion

I really empathize with the contents of “Patience”. Actually, I had an experience that due to my immature edits, someone pointed out my edits. When I saw her or his comment about my edits, I was nervous that I failed to edit the article. However, when I read her or his comment carefully, she or he just would like me to get used to editing articles on Wikipedia. After the experience, I feel developed and used to Wikipedia.

In the contrast of my experience, some friends of mine had a bad experience in Wikipedia. They edited some articles carefully and hard but someone pointed out their edits without respect. So my friends do not like editing English Wikipedia.

Based on my experience, people who are used to a field should treat new participants with kindness, which makes good faith collaboration.

Do you have any experience like my experience? I would appreciate it if you told me your experience and how that kind of experience affects the collaboration of work.

    I have experienced the same thing as you. Someone has pointed out and deleted my immature editing. I'm not good at dealing with Wikipedia, so it's good to realize what's wrong and to know something new. But since then, I've had the experience of being intimidated by editing. Therefore, I think it is important to treat other editors with respect and good intentions. I think we should not make unnecessary arguments and cooperate in good faith together to create an encyclopedia. This good faith will make cooperation active and positive.

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...
