W14: Korean “Did you know”


In the lecture this week, Piotr talked about the “Did you know” page. After listening to his explanation about English “Did you know” page, I became curious about Korean “Did you know” page. So I read Korean “Did you know” page, “알고 계십니까”. And then, I found a few things to compare.

The picture is Korean DYK page, “알고 계십니까”. In English Wikipedia, “Did you know” is a hook which makes people attracted to it. However, in Korean one, “알고 계십니까” is just a title of the page. It is not working as a hook. So the content of “알고 계십니까” is to explain about a subject with a simple sentence, not a question.

Also, I read “What is 알고 계십니까” page. It explains about the purpose of “알고 계십니까”, misunderstanding of “알고 계십니까”, how to nominate an article on “알고 계십니까” and so on. So I get to know what the conditions under which an article can be posted on “알고 계십니까” are. It has to be a new article, follow strictly Wikipedia’s rule and have appropriate sources in the article.

Actually, I know where “DYK” page in English Wikipedia is but I did not know where “알고 계십니까” page in Korean Wikipedia. So it was a good opportunity to understand the Wikipedia system more, not only English one but also Korean one.

Did you guys read "알고 계십니까"? Then can you compare "알고 계십니까" with "Did you know"?

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...
