W9: Do you think wikipedia is reliable? why or why not?/진신

I think:

Relating to the credibility of Wikipedia, Wikipedia thought of this question when Wikipedia was founded. Wikipedia culture stipulates that entries must be ready for verification and have reference sources.This reference source can be papers, books, periodicals, newspapers, TV news, and even online media, etc. BBS posts, blogs, and Weibo are not reliable sources. Probably because the former is responsible for editors to check, and will not make mistakes easily. Even if they make mistakes, their colleagues will correct them, which greatly reduces errors. 

However, the threshold of Wikipedia content is for verification, not true and correct. In Wikipedia, I often see editors accusing others of “just trying to cover up the truth”. But the accusers may not know that the content added to Wikipedia needs to be published in a reliable source and can be checked by readers, and it cannot be established by us alone to be true. Wikipedia editor PhiLiP once said, "Don't try to change the public through Wikipedia, but change Wikipedia by changing the public."

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...

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...

W6. Who do you think edits wikipedia? the young, the old, male, female, Americans, Koreans?

 Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that can be edited by anyone of all genders, ages, and nationalities. This is only low in credibility in Korea, and it has always become a reliable content that appears on top of Google search results. So, does Wikipedia's collective intelligence fairly much of the world's knowledge? Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that can be edited by anyone of all genders, ages, and nationalities. This is only low in credibility in Korea, and it has always become a reliable content that appears on top of Google search results. So, does Wikipedia's collective intelligence fairly contain much of the world's knowledge?   In fact, gender bias has been an issue that has been raised since 2010. According to several surveys and studies, the biggest reason of the problem is that most of Wikipedia's editing participants are men. Among Wikipedia editors, women range from 10% to 20%. There is one example that illustrates this well. There was Strickland, a scie...
