W11. Commons: FAQ / Jung jisoo

1. Summary 

This material is designed to store contents(ex. images, videos, etc.) that can be used for all Wikimedia projects, including Wikipedia. In addition, it explains the copyright-related description of the contents that can be uploaded and what contents can be uploaded. The contents uploaded to the wiki should be contents that do not have any license issues, such as whether they are a verifiable license or a free license. And when uploading an image, a high resolution is recommended, but the size of the image may be limited. Finally, in the commons community section, we can learn where to ask questions and how to manage documents when we have a question.


2. What I learned & Question 

There is a detailed description of the image to be uploaded in this material, so it was possible to know the copyright or classification method related to it. Also, I could see how to move the gallery or change the title, and fix it when an error occurs. In addition to that, there are various explanations related to images in this material, so I think you can learn a lot. What have you learned from reading this material? Do you think you can actually use the explanations in this material to edit Wikipedia?

    Jisoo, I read your opinion well. I especially enjoyed reading and learning the category
    segmentation and copyright part. As I read this article, I think it was very wise for Wikipedia to create its own free multimedia space. When I actually edited Wikipedia, it was very convenient because I didn't have to double check the copyright issue when searching for images in Commons and using them.

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...
