W15: What did I learn while editing Wikipedia? / Sohee Heo

 Wikipedia is considered the best web service that many people can access with a single topic and different perspectives. In modern society, countless pieces of information are pouring out, and we are always at a crossroads where we have to find the truth and judge what is right or wrong.


In the end, the truth can be found through refined information in the encyclopedia.
The democratization of information is not information that is written by experts in power over a particular discourse and planted in countless people. Wikipedia is the information we produce and consume ourselves.


Wikipedia is the place where I find the truth, prove the truth, and share certain ideas that I knew. The reason for Wikipedia's existence has always been clear, and the goals it pursues are the same, so I think Wikipedia is a necessary service for our lives in the future.


Did you enjoy writing Wikipedia? Of course, you can answer yes to the question. This semester was my last college term. The fact that the last semester was a non-face-to-face class was a big change for me, but perhaps it means a lot to finish a semester while working and taking classes at the same time. After work, I studied Wikipedia and carried out my Wikipedia assignments.
Although I finished the semester with less achievements than others, I was able to learn a lot by writing Wikipedia and looking back on what I had learned once again. During his four-year college life, he attended various Wikipedia-related classes, including invitations to sociology and collective intelligence. I've learned a lot, and I can't access Wikipedia by learning now, but I think I'll always be there for surfing and searching for information.

W7: GFC book notes By 'William S. Kowinski' , 'Cory Doctorow','Piotr Konieczny' and 'Paul Youngquist'/ 진신

Summary- William S. Kowinski: The true exception is the innovative success of a collaborative effort that has prime online reference work called Wikipedia. This book is not meant to be biography or reportage, but contemporary ethnography or study of a culture. What this book does well is describe how Wikipedia works and what issues have arisen.  It's short on drama and personality，and so it's probably destined to be a source document. Since that seems unlikely, this may remain the best opportunity for learning about this remarkable project. Summary- Cory Doctorow: Reagle makes an excellent case that this assumption of good faith is particularly powerful when it comes to dealing with those who lack good faith — it creates positive outcomes for arguments with everyone from neo-Nazis to political hacks who're whitewashing their boss's entries. Wikipedia's most fascinating and unprecedented aspect isn't the encyclopedia itself — rather, it's the collaborative cu...

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...

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...
