W15) Introduction to the Manual of Style /박채정, PARK CHAEJEONG


 1. Summary

 "Manual of Style" is literally an instruction manual (article writing format) provided when writing articles within Wikipedia. These guidelines not only maintain Wikipedia's regularity, but also increase the credibility of Wikipedia users. It can also be edited by other users. 

 When writing articles on Wikipedia, refer to Mos, but pay more attention to the content. In order to make many people read the article, it is necessary to establish the article's argumentability in the title, lead section (a brief overview of the article), and heading. 

 Images should use what is appropriate for the text of the article and should not interfere with the text. Sometimes too many images accumulate, which can be located out of context, and should be distributed evenly within the article. 

 A reliable source (such as papers, news articles, etc.) should be identified. You need to try to format citations correctly. As an editor of Wikipedia, it is necessary to provide the right and sufficient information based on reliability. 

 In addition, various guidelines are available when using Wikipedia. This allows us to meet a coherent, clear, and reliable online encyclopedia 'Wikipedia'.  


2. Impressive point

 It was most meaningful for me to write a source, playing the role of editor on Wikipedia. I read the article I was editing one more time, and when I checked the contents of the source as well as the author, I felt it was a deeper activity. It was also interesting to note that the contents were based on their respective sources, although the languages were diverse as various editors participated. 


3. Discussion Point

 Did you find anything unusual or meaningful in Wikipedia's MoS? Or is there a format you want to add?

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...
