W14. Wikipidia : Did You Know

 Summary

DYK is a feature that introduces the lesser known of Wikipedia's new additions. DYK presents new articles or information to users on Wikipedia, allowing users to know a wide range of topics and facts. The main purpose is to provide new sources for people and users contributing to Wikipedia's articles, giving them the power to recreate other information. It is also DYK's purpose to disseminate new and improved information to users. That's why Wikipedia doesn't have to have the best quality. You can think of it as a generic clutter.

DYK consists of Wikipedia's "hooks". The word "hooks" is an interesting fact derived from the latest Wikipedia content. DYK only applies to articles that have achieved one of the following within seven days: The first condition is creation. Secondly, it should be expanded at least five times. The third should be promoted to good knighthood. There are more than three above, but only one of those conditions needs to be met.




Interesting point

I was very impressed by Wikipedia's category features. Categories are not just Wikipedia's myriad articles divided into categories. By properly distributing articles, users can quickly find data. And it's not just getting the information you want. Articles in the same category provide wider and deeper information. I admire this very much. So I said, as a discussable point, let's think about what new features will be available except for categories that can help users learn more about Wikipedia.


I think one of the answers to that is DYK. DYK makes the information in the article noticeable to users and encourages them to read the article. I think that this DYK objective is most consistent with the answer to the discussion point. I think Wikipedia is the best encyclopedia in the world because it has a solid set of functions such as categories and DYK.

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 ...

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...
