W14) Wikipedia:Did_you_know /박채정, PARK CHAEJEONG

 


1. Summary

 Did you know(DYK) is a space that introduces Wikipedia's new additions to the public. In other words, it recommends a wide range of topics and facts/articles, making them more accessible. This is very special not only because it provides information to Wikipedia editors and those who want to get information from Wikipedia, but also because it can be a driving force for them to add or create new information. However, it should be remembered that DYK's page is not a space for new articles. In addition, depending on the purpose of DYK's operation, it is not necessary to have the same existing form as writing articles on Wikipedia. However, parts such as the length, source, and copyright of the article should be considered equally. 



2. Interesting point

 I wondered how recommended articles were selected according to the purpose of DYK's operation, which provides new information to people. Because not everyone was going straight up to the main page. Separate nominations are registered, and approved recommendations articles are promoted from queue to staging area. I saw the DYK page translated into Korean, but it was very interesting how people using the "DYK Space" wrote and reviewed various opinions on candidate articles. And once again, Wikipedia features could be found in DYK. Wikipedia respects everyone's opinion and is a site that is created together by everyone.



3. Discussion Point

 Wikipedia shows different functions(ex. the reading materials that the professor gives us every week -  DYK, sandbox, wiki edit..) every time, but I think there is always the same standard (in short, "together" with Wikipedia keywords I think). Do you guys think that Wikipedia, like me, has something to do with collective intelligence?

    I don't know if what you mean is the function of Wikipedia, but when it comes to that, I think it always creates a function for people to be together. Functions such as allowing people to add content following one article, as well as attaching external links for others to understand, bring people together.

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...
