What I learned from Wikipedia editing?

Of course there are a lot, but the biggest thing that comes to me is 'I can do it too'.

Many people around the world, including myself, use large Internet encyclopedias like Wikipedia a lot. In fact, many people get important information from it and build their knowledge, skills, careers, etc.

Many people appreciate this encyclopedia. And I think. It's a better place to know more and more than you think. I learned a lot here, but I don't think I can make it.

However, what I felt during this project was that it was not. Wikipedia is more open to everyone than I thought. I can see that I have enough rights and abilities to share my knowledge with others. Of course, Wiki has quite a variety of rigid regulations to prevent the spread of fake knowledge and fiction, but this makes Wikipedia a wiser encyclopedia.

I learned the confidence that I can do it on the Wikipedia project. I have a chance to acquire knowledge that others share, and I have a chance to share my knowledge. Wikipedia is offering such freedom to all.

W8.2 Why Wikipedia is the most efficient of all attempts to collect and organize? / 진신

Coupled with the constant dedication of tens of thousands of powerful volunteers, Wikipedia is the most efficient of all collection and sorting attempts.

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...

W15 : What did I learn while editing Wikipedia? How is this assignment different from more traditional student assignments? / Park Chan Young (박찬영)

1. What did I learn while editing Wikipedia?  The most important thing I learned from editing Wikipedia is the joy of participating in collective intelligence. Before the class, I only used Wikipedia. But I was given the opportunity to edit Wikipedia through class. It is difficult than I expected to edit a steady every week. But I was pleasantly able to edit the idea that my hard work contributed to making a better encyclopedia. The joy felt when I found a topic that lacked explanation became the driving force for editing. I thought it was a small group of people and I thought it was their job to create a collective intelligence. However, as I edited, I realized that spontaneity and enjoyment were very important factors in creating Wikipedia. 2. How is this assignment different from more traditional student assignments?  The assignment in the other class was usually to write a report. It was a task to write an individual's arguments or t...
