W13. Wikipedia: Categorization / Jung jisoo

1. Summary

Classification is a list for dividing topics and serves to help Wikipedia users find information easily. Therefore, when designating a subject (category), the category name must be clearly chosen. Also, rules exist when naming. The name should be simple and should not use abbreviations. In addition to these, there are several general and special conventions. Editors should refer to these conventions carefully when naming them.
Articles on Wikipedia must belong to more than one category. When classifying, it is recommended to have a neutral point of view, and to secure a basis to confirm whether the classification is correct.


2. Interesting point

When Wikipedia editors name categories, It is interesting that there are specific conventions, both general conventions and special conventions. In particular, the format in which the category name is divided into a topic category and a set category (a topic category for singular, a set category for plural) was interesting depending on whether the name of the category was singular or plural.


3. Question

When looking at the description of the category tree organization, the categories are divided into subcategories, parent categories, and the like. I found the double, non-diffusion subcategories a bit difficult to understand. In this material, a non-diffusion subcategory refers to a set with special characteristics within a sub-category. And, it says, subcategories defined by gender, ethnicity, religion, and sexuality should be almost non-diffusing subcategories. I'm curious as to how specifically articles are classified into non-diffusing subcategories.

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...

W7: Review of Good Faith Collaboration / Suyoung Han

  Review of Good Faith Collaboration 1) Summary – Wikipedia from an ethnographic perspective: focusing on collaboration within the community Wikipedia, which is called the world's largest encyclopedia, is an open community and is becoming more and more solid with the participation of various people, conflict, and resolution. In this respect, Joseph M. Reagle Jr. attempted to explain the culture that takes place within Wikipedia. The book describes how Wikipedia was created and what it values. In particular, he described Wikipedia in a book from an ethnographic point of view, and focused on cooperation within the community. 2) Interesting Point – Wikipedia is simple, but not I realized that Wikipedia is not just a site made up of community activities, but rather a collaborative activity that is carried out concretely for the goal. Before I read the book, Wikipedia was an encyclopedia site that only gave me information (even I didn't trust the information), and I thought ...

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...
