W12. Wikipedia: Article development / Jung jisoo

1. Summary

This material explains how we can help our articles grow further. First of all, there are four stages in the stage of the article. In the 'Uncreated articles' stage, the subject of the article can be decided by the opinion of the contributor. Next, 'Stubs' refers to documents that contain short content and are likely to be developed in the future. And, most of the documents are included in 'Developing articles', and the quality of the documents should be improved. Finally, 'Featured articles' contains articles that are considered to be the best articles on Wikipedia.
In order to improve the quality of the article, it is important to find good data on the subject of the article. In addition to researching materials online, you can visit the library in person to find in-depth materials. And it's good to keep getting feedback and improve it.


2. What I learned & Question

This material reminds me of the fact that the Wikipedia article we are writing also has steps. I am working on the main project by translating existing materials into English or Korean, but there were difficulties in translating and indicating the source. This is because there were many cases where the source in the original article was not properly indicated. As this article describes how to develop articles, I think that I have been constantly receiving feedback and visiting the library as well as online, trying to create quality articles.
And I saw several articles for feedback on the articles of other authors, which was the last class assignment. Looking at them, I think there were many high-quality materials with well-organized images and reference materials. What difficulties did you have with writing articles? And what did you do to write high-quality articles?

    Jisoo, thank you for always good blogging. As you mentioned, it is important to find good data to improve the quality of your article. And, it always seems to be the most difficult. When I write articles, I have to add as many references and citations as possible for the quality of the article, but I'm having a hard time finding them.

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...

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...

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...
