W13 : After reading "Category"

 

W13 : After reading "Category"

Shinhee Kim

Summary

A category is a grouping of pages with similar content. You can check the category at the bottom of the article page, and click on it to see more related content. It contains subcategories listing other categories that are further broken down, and Pages listing other namespaces. You can also search within categories, and when looking for categories related to articles, use the "What links here" tool to easily find items in a category. Among the contents of the category, the category that needs to be watched is included in the watchlist and the category is managed through monitoring.

Interesting thing I learned

The structure of finding specific articles within a category is very efficient. If you check the pages by searching within the category you need to research, you will be able to find the pages you are looking for and other helpful resources. I also discovered that there is a feature to hide categories.

Discussion

It is said that the function to hide the category is mainly used to hide the display of the project maintenance category. In addition to these uses, are there situations in which categories should be hidden? If so, what categories of content are appropriate to hide?

    Shinhee, your blogging is very impressive. What you find interesting is very similar to what I find interesting in this lecture. Because I also thought that the structure of finding a desired article within a category is a very appropriate way to find useful information that I did not think of.
    The search method that narrows down the information you want through categories is really impressive.

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...
