W13 : After reading Categorization / Sangmin Choe

 1.

Categories are intended to group pages on similar topics. Categories help readers locate and navigate the topic area, view pages sorted by title, and find article relationships. When you click a category name, a category page appears listing articles added to a particular category. 

There may also be a section listing subcategories of that category. Subcategorization allows you to organize categories into tree-like structures to support navigation.

A key goal of a category system is to quickly inform readers who find similar topics. Lists and navigation templates provide functions similar to categories. But there is a difference.

Be especially careful when naming categories and select the correct names. The topic category is singular and the set category is plural.

All wikipedia pages must belong to at least one category. However, exceptions are discussion pages, redirection, or user pages. One way to ensure that the appropriate category already exists for a particular page is to check which page categories are related to similar or related topics.

Categories are tree structures. Parent categories can contain subcategories.

Sometimes I spend a lot of time exploring articles on similar topics. I think this is an advantage of the category. It provides an opportunity to find related topics. And concepts can be structured through categories. This helps with structural and logical thinking. It also helps expand thinking. When editing Wikipedia, I should edit categories.

What is your favorite category on Wikipedia?

    Oh! I read your opinion well. I looked at your question and thought about the editing I've done so far. I grew up in Korea and there are a lot of Korean things around me, so I edited a lot of articles related to Korean culture and Korean history! I'll try to edit a bit more different kinds of writing for the rest of the time :)

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...
