W12 / How do Wikipedians determine “quality”? / Jeongyoon Oh 오정윤
Quality is socially shaped. Socially formed means that it can be evaluated differently depending on the country and the times, and it can continue to vary from conventional wisdom or rules of society. It is not a fixed concept.
In order to judge quality, there may be clear regulations on a subject. It may have been laid down by law. But even if not, there may be issues of tacit agreement among people.
In the case of a new law, the phrase "A committed an act of ~~, and that action was severely criticized by people" can be changed to "A committed an offence" In addition, tacit agreements can be made in various ways, including Vincent van Gogh's paintings receiving good reviews, as I wrote in my last blog post.
