W8 : What do you find difficult and enjoyable?

 

1.     What do you find difficult?

There were many difficulties editing Wikipedia. The reason why it was so difficult was that Wikipedia was unfamiliar. Because it has to be translated into English, I paid a lot of attention to whether it was grammatically correct and whether it was the right style for online encyclopedias. In addition, it was difficult to find and attach photos that did not have copyright. It is now adapted to weekly Wikipedia edits. So I'm having fun and editing.



2.     What do you find enjoyable?

It's fun to choose a topic of interest and read what's already been edited and find something to add. As I read, I can see things I didn't know, and I feel rewarded to fill in the article so that it can be more complete. Completing one whole piece of writing with others also played a part.



3.     Discussion

Do you have any other features that you would like to add to Wikipedia?

    Youngsil, I read your writing well. I also have a lot of worries about grammar when editing Wikipedia. Another feature of Wikipedia that I'd like to add is expanding the citation source. There are more platforms with various contents, and I think the citation source can be more diverse if the level of reliability and censorship of the platform increases.

    Youngsil, I read your wiki edit story well, and I think I had similar difficulties with you. When I think about the features I want to add to Wikipedia, I think how about making the allowable range of images more relaxed. I wanted to add an image like the brand's logo, but it wasn't my property, so I couldn't.

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...
