w12: Article development

 

1.

This article explains how articles grow in Wikipedia. Articles begin with a small contribution from the contributor. If you want to write an article with good faith, you must first search for whether the article on the topic already exists. Redirection is appropriate if that article already exists. ‘If you see a red link that strikes your fancy, create an article!’

From the following list of documents, you can explore articles suitable for writing.

Wikipedia:Requested articles

Wikipedia:Most wanted articles

Wikipedia:Articles for creation

Template:Opentask

Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English

Wikipedia:Collaboration

If you do not have the time to write a full article, consider writing a "stub(토막글)". Stubs are very short articles—generally just a few sentences. You can get a chance to visit a university or public library to find the best source. You don't have to leave the house, you can find a great source in "Google Scholar." After research, a writing process is needed. When writing an article, you should start with a concise introduction so that readers can recognize it.

2.

It is interesting that there is a quick way to know which article is urgent to contribute. If you are willing to contribute, it will be easy to find topics of interest on the list. And it was nice to have an easy way to find a source to quote.

3.

What is the Neutral point of view in Wikipedia? Objectivity is essentially something that cannot be secured by one person. As sure as your participation adds diversity to Wikipedia, it will add to objectivity.

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...
