W15: What did I learn while editing Wikipedia? How is this assignment different from more traditional student assignments? Is it more fun? / Chaeeun Park

What did I learn while editing Wikipedia?

While editing Wikipedia, I thought I wanted the spirit of Wikipedia to spread widely. In my opinion, Wikipedia is a spirit in which people solve problems together, share opinions with each other, contribute, participate, and supplement what they have. It is similar to the definition of collective intelligence. Currently, Korean society is divided and each other is angry and fighting to find their own interests. For himself, he is slandering others and spreading fake news without hesitation. In this modern society, I hope that the spirit of sharing useful information to others or strengthening human relationships will become a social culture beyond the Internet. 

Sometimes Koreans use the term "lost humanity" as a meme. I hope Wikipedia will be a warm encyclopedia where you can feel connected to each other without losing humanity. The reason Wikipedia is so precious is that it made others realize the truth of life that "the more you share, the richer you become." There is a spirit of teaching and helping each other, not ignoring each other. 

Like this, Wikipedia not only carried knowledge, but also taught us the habits of participation and sharing, and enlightened us of its importance.


How is this assignment different from more traditional student assignments?


I felt the difference in that it was a participatory assignment. So far, the assignment had a strong tendency to find information suitable for the topic, organize it neatly, and make my argument. 
However, this time, he was able to be in the position of the informant, not the position of collecting information. Collective intelligence begins with individual participation. 
Although I participated in the class called Collective Intelligence, I also had the opportunity to take classes and share information as a member of Collective Intelligence.


Is it more fun?


It's sad, but I'm not happy. Because my grades depend on it. However, it is a great opportunity to participate in a society where the importance of collective intelligence is always called for. If artificial intelligence is in place, it will be a better Wikipedia. Wikipedia could complement quality information that has always been questioned. 

Later, I think I can brag on Wikipedia that I've translated it. Wikipedia will be the world's largest big data dictionary and a continuously evolving, real-time revision encyclopedia. 

Encyclopedia no longer contains previous knowledge. It is modified in real time and contains new information. Wikipedia will change the social definition of the encyclopedia.

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...
