W8： Why Wikipedia is the most efficient of all attempts to collect and organize?LiuXinlei

 


Why Wikipedia is the most efficient of all attempts to collect and organize?


I think that Wikipedia comes from coexisting with a large amount of information in the new Internet environment. But processing this information on the same site requires a lot of labor costs. The advantage of Wikipedia allows a large number of users to use it for free, to access articles and academic materials on Wikipedia for free, and to participate in the editing of Wikipedia content as an editor for areas that they are good at. Wikipedia is defined in the words of Jimmy Wales as the sum of human knowledge based on people's desire and pursuit of knowledge.


Wikipedia has content in various languages, but the quality of the content in different language versions of the same content is not the same. I think there is room for improvement in maintaining the consistency of content between the various language versions. Do you have any practicable methods for this?

    Wikipedia itself has played a big role in reaching consensus on several major guidelines:
    1. Neutral point of view: No one may modify/delete the contributions of others because the views of others are contrary to their own, but should list all points of view.
    2. Available for verification: Any content must be published in a reliable, credible, and open media that can be verified at any time. Corresponding to it is non-original research.
    3. Presumption of good faith: it should first be assumed that any editor is in good faith.
    I think these three points can answer your question very well

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...
