W12: After reading"Wikipedia:Article development" / 진신

 1. Summary: 

Every article starts with an idea in the mind of a contributor. You can create articles about anything, as long as they belong in Wikipedia. If you don't have time to write a complete article, you can fill in the "stub" first and then add it slowly. To write a good article, you should start with four parts: research (finding related articles and finding related books) Writing, and Finishing touches. But before creating an article, be sure to confirm whether there is the same article or stub. In this way, you can save resource space and discover existing content, and you can establish good links with other related articles in the future.

2. Interesting: 

More pictures, links, and reference materials can be used to add the finishing touch to the article. In addition, remember to create links to your article from related articles and subjects. This includes any redirects your article may need. This helps people find your article and may even help you find a related, already-written article. You can also create redirects from related subjects or subtopics which do not yet have their own articles (redirects with possibilities)

3.Question: 

After more than half a semester of study, we seem to have understood the basic editing methods of Wikipedia and the guidelines of Wikipedia. During this period of editing, what do you think has given you the deepest impression?

    I realized that editing wiki was easier than I thought and harder than I thought. The editing barrier seems to be relatively high for those who start editing wiki for the first time. This is because there are so many functions, although the main functions we use are limited to a few. And as Wikipedia is a space where many people around the world collaborate and edit, there are many sanctions. Therefore, editing requires sufficient objective data and consideration, and then editing.

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...
