W14 After Reading - Wikipedia:Did you know

Shinhee Kim

Summary

Wikipedia is a site that aims to be an encyclopedia of various fields, and numerous articles are created every day. Among them, DYK is the main page for showing new content to people. In order for an article to appear on DYK, it must be written within 7 days, meet a set of standards (quantity, citation, copyright compliance, etc.), and user approval is required. However, rather than posting only the top-level articles, articles that guarantee a certain level of quality and show people a new look are posted. You can request that you recommend your own writing or someone else's well-organized writing and post it on DYK. Discussion of the project can take place in DYK, and there are Prep areas and Queues to prepare before being shown on the main page.

Interesting thing I learned

I have been using Wikipedia for a long time, but the function of 'Did you know' is new to me this time. Because Wikipedia contains so much content, there were times when I didn't know which material to look at, but if you use DYK well, you can get useful information. Most Wikipedia users do not seem to know much about DYK because they often come in to search for specific words and obtain information rather than to the main page of Wikipedia.

Discussion

In order for people to use the DYK page more, how would you like to appeal? I am curious about various opinions that can actively utilize images or reflect the latest trends.

    As citizens, we should abide by national laws and regulations. In Wikipedia, rules and regulations of Wikipedia must also be observed.DYK can better help us use Wikipedia.

    In order for people to use DYK pages more, I think it is necessary to promote the features within Wikipedia. Promoting the purpose of this page or the benefits of the article will attract more people's attention. Also, I think it would be good to have a high-profile image to make you more interested.

    I think a little nudge could increase the use of the DYK page. For example, growing the title(“Did you Know”)’s font size or changing the DYK banner’s location. It's enough to change a bit the design to attract attention rather than add a lot of things.

W4: What are the pros and cons of using Naver vs Google for research purposes?

Google Scholar: In terms of academic research, Google Scholar is a web search engine that can search academic articles for free. Its source of information is also professional and rich. For example, articles from academic publishers, etc. There are also most of the published academic journals in the world. It also supports advanced search functions such as keywords, classification and filtering, and you can find the most relevant research documents in the entire academic field in a few seconds. Every search result on Google Scholar will show citations. This provides a good extended search clue, which is convenient for users to directly view related papers. As a Chinese student, even in mainland China, Google Scholar cannot directly access and use it. We will still use VPN and other methods for reference when conducting research. NAVER: And naver is more like an interactive community. There are more academic websites in Korea.  As a Chinese student, I think Naver rarely uses for acade

W2 : After watching Mitch Resnick’s TED video

 Through this video, I realized that programming education is not only as deep and professional as I know it, but also more flat and interesting. With the change of the times and the advancement of technology, the times we experience are indeed constantly changing. I believe that programming is just a way of learning like reading. It does not depend on any subjective intentions but exercises people’s logical thinking and creativity. China There is a common saying that “giving others fish is better than fishing for others.” I believe that programming does not exist as a short-lived technology, but behind it is that people need to keep learning with the times and have an open attitude. The purpose of early childhood education is different from the professional education we receive now. Early childhood education is more inclined to teach children the way of thinking, rather than the part of applying knowledge or technology in a professional subject as we are now learning. Therefore, addin

W13/After reading “Categorization”/HARI KIM

Summary) Categorization is a kind of list for dividing topics, and it helps users find information easily. All documents must be in at least one category. Therefore, categories must be well chosen. How are the numerous articles on Wikipedia categorized? First, the category should be chosen as the most helpful topic when someone reads the article. And usually an article doesn't exist in both the top and the subcategories at the same time. If there are few documents in the category you have in mind, you should check to see if they belong to a subcategory. It is also important to maintain a "neutral" perspective when categorizing. New/Interesting things I learned) I learned that usually one document does not exist in both the upper and subcategories at the same time. Before I knew this information, I had made a mistake in categorizing documents. In categorizing articles about rivers, the article was already part of a subcategory, but I have made mistakes by adding a top cate
