Blogging through Wikipedia (2021)

  W15 After Reading: Introduction to the Manual of Style Shinhee Kim Summary The Manual of Style is a guideline for arranging articles in a more efficient way and displaying them in an easy-to-understand way when people write articles. At the top of the article is a brief summary that makes the article clear. After that, the section is made up of 1-4 paragraphs, and a table of contents is created automatically. For parts that are difficult to understand through text alone, images are added to enhance the quality of the article. It is important to set the image to fit the length of the section so as not to compromise readability. Linking hyperlinks to each word is one of Wikipedia's key features. Provide hyperlinks to supplement difficult-to-understand content. In addition to the articles inside Wikipedia, you can refer to external articles by using the External References section. Interesting thing I learned The feature that automatically creates a table of contents when you ...

  What did I learn while editing Wikipedia? How is this assignment different from more traditional student assignments? Is it more fun? Shinhee Kim What did I learn while editing Wikipedia? Before taking this class, to be honest, I was curious as to who added all the Wikipedia content. For me, Wikipedia was a site I visited while doing a search, so I had almost zero knowledge and information. So, I was able to learn a lot of content while listening to the lectures this semester. First, I could feel the power of the collective intelligence platform. While editing Wikipedia, I created a new document myself, and I saw that references and some information were added within a day after I made the document. I think that such rapid feedback and growth is the greatest power that collective intelligence can have. Second, I was able to learn the principle of operation by closely examining Wikipedia, which I only knew how to use. Actually, my perception of Wikipedia before taking the class wa...

  W14 After Reading - Wikipedia:Did you know Shinhee Kim Summary Wikipedia is a site that aims to be an encyclopedia of various fields, and numerous articles are created every day. Among them, DYK is the main page for showing new content to people. In order for an article to appear on DYK, it must be written within 7 days, meet a set of standards (quantity, citation, copyright compliance, etc.), and user approval is required. However, rather than posting only the top-level articles, articles that guarantee a certain level of quality and show people a new look are posted. You can request that you recommend your own writing or someone else's well-organized writing and post it on DYK. Discussion of the project can take place in DYK, and there are Prep areas and Queues to prepare before being shown on the main page. Interesting thing I learned I have been using Wikipedia for a long time, but the function of 'Did you know' is new to me this time. Because Wikipedia contains...

  W13 : After reading "Category" Shinhee Kim Summary A category is a grouping of pages with similar content. You can check the category at the bottom of the article page, and click on it to see more related content. It contains subcategories listing other categories that are further broken down, and Pages listing other namespaces. You can also search within categories, and when looking for categories related to articles, use the "What links here" tool to easily find items in a category. Among the contents of the category, the category that needs to be watched is included in the watchlist and the category is managed through monitoring. Interesting thing I learned The structure of finding specific articles within a category is very efficient. If you check the pages by searching within the category you need to research, you will be able to find the pages you are looking for and other helpful resources. I also discovered that there is a feature to hide categories....

  W13 : After reading "Categorization" Shinhee Kim Summary Categorization is a system that helps you quickly find topics related to a page. Up to 200 category items can be displayed on the screen, and you can create new categories for yourself. It cannot be duplicated in the lower category and the upper category, and must be placed in the most detailed category to avoid confusion. Sorting categories is also designed to help you find what you are looking for much faster if you understand the set rules. The classification of management categories is divided into two types, which are divided into Administrative categories and Content categories. There are categories that you use to check the status of articles or categorize pages that are not articles, and there are categories that make it easier for users to find articles. Interesting thing I learned I found that you can also add category tags to files or images. It seems to be an effective management method. In addition,...

 W12 How do Wikipedians determine "quality"? Shinhee Kim I think the source is the most important part of the Wikipedians when judging quality. No matter how new and good the content brought by that person, the quality will inevitably deteriorate if the content is not consistent with the content of the source or is difficult to trust when the source is actually entered. Even if the thesis is the same, the institution that issued the thesis is important, and I think it is important to distinguish reliable media companies among numerous articles. I think that these judgments judge the quality of writing according to the permitted ranges in accordance with their own cultural standards, as the categories allowed in the culture in which people live are different. Another thing I think is that quality is determined by whether it has various components that fit the subject of the writing. It will also be important to have the content that people can read and make correct judgments...

  W11. After Reading – Wiki Commons Shinhee Kim Summary Wiki commons is a space where people voluntarily provide free media. Excluding text, you can upload various images, videos, and sounds, and all contents uploaded here can be used freely inside and outside of Wikimedia. Therefore, you cannot upload any images, and you can post works for which you have copyrights for free or upload only files with a free license. When uploading files, the files are not classified by abstract general keywords, but into categories that are subdivided into subcategories. The explanatory text of the uploaded image may be automatically modified through localization for various countries. What I learned What's new is that people can't later revoke licenses for images they've already uploaded. Images that have already been released for free cannot be changed simply except in very limited cases. I've also relied on search so far to find images on Wiki Commons, and I've noticed that...

 Remix Culture Shinhee Kim Summary Remix culture is the creation of new creations by reproducing existing materials. Remixes are carried out in various fields such as folklore, books, software, music, and movies, and are also carried out across fields. In the analog era, remixing culture existed despite being limited due to the disadvantage of damaging the quality of copying works. And with the advent of the digital age, the remixing culture could become very active. Various application creations were created with open source software. In addition, due to the bidirectional nature of the Internet, various contents can be accessed easily, and individuals can also create creative contents using them. What I learned In the field of religion, it was found that remix culture could occur by making the Bible more easily interpreted. In addition, even in the analog age, there was a limited but remixed culture, and I learned anew that there was a movement of change. Discussion Some...

  W10 Can we think of some examples of how internet has changed our culture? Shinhee Kim The Internet has brought many changes in many ways. In particular, in terms of culture, I think it has brought about tremendous changes, and the most influential change is the blurring of borders between countries. We can also view and participate in culture in any country through the Internet. On the Internet, there are few temporal and spatial restrictions. Therefore, the time difference and distance from other countries are not a problem. Platforms like YouTube are used by people all over the world, and anyone can find the video they want by simply searching. That is why videos made in Korea are not famous to Koreans, but there are also ironic situations where they become famous among foreigners. Due to the influence of the Internet, Korea's K-POP was also able to grow very much. Many people can browse the stage of K-POP artists on the Internet, and even enjoy online concerts in any countr...

 Do you think Wikipedia is reliable? why or why not? Shinhee Kim   I think Wikipedia can be trusted. However, I think it is difficult to use it to prove any fact. Since Wikipedia's materials are gathered by revealing the source, it can be a reference site. However, not all content has been written from reliable sources. So we are often not allowed to bring material from Wikipedia when teaching or writing reports at school.   So, how does Wikipedia go through to become a more reliable site than it is now? One suggestion is to make the review system double. The content written by the first author is written in blue, indicating that the content has not yet been reviewed. And if someone else reviews the content once more through the review system and it turns out that it is the correct content and a reliable source, it is displayed in black. Wouldn't people be more trustworthy if we could distinguish things that we could trust like this? I'm curious about other people's o...

 W8.  Why Wikipedia is the most efficient of all attempts to collect and organize?  Why is wikipedia so successful? Shinhee Kim   Keeping information in writing was very important for human development. It was the driving force to move forward without repeating the same mistakes. As more and more such information becomes available, it becomes increasingly important to collect and organize them. Thus, several attempts have been made to collect information. Before the development of the network, various encyclopedias collected various knowledge, and after the development of the network, these attempts were made more actively. However, the site that gathered representative information from around the world became 'Wikipedia'. Why did this result appear?  With the development of the Internet, the amount of information has grown beyond comparison. Such information was absolutely unreasonable for individuals to collect alone. Then, as many people as possible must gath...

What do you find difficult and enjoyable? Reviewing some of our edits Shinhee Kim 1.      What do you find difficult? When I first edited Wikipedia, I had a hard time figuring out what to edit. After making corrections one by one, the most difficult point was to select the subject to be corrected. It was very difficult to find out what content was poorly written in the English and Korean versions. Then, in order to find out what was wrong, I had to read full text of single topic. Also, just because I know it doesn't mean I can change it at will, so it took time to find a reliable source. 2.      What do you find most enjoyable? The modification process was not easy, but as I took time, I felt the best when I thought that what I modified was visible to many people. In particular, I could be proud of myself as a Korean by adding Korean historical events and correcting the wrong contents on the English Wikipedia. I thought it was one of the things that...

 W hy do people contribute to Wikipedia? Shinhee Kim   People like to show off their knowledge. Essentially, people are social animals, and they like to discuss and talk with others. Being able to freely express one's opinions while sharing information within Wikipedia can make people feel satisfied. In addition, people can feel rewarded through the act of sharing knowledge without paying any material price. The idea that he has contributed to society makes people feel that they have become better people. We can feel a good sense of accomplishment through Wikipedia.   If you think about one other reason, I think it is because people's desire to correct misinformation. We often want to correct the wrong facts or unfair cases even though they are not directly related to me. This mindset is the driving force behind Wikipedia's contribution and virtuous cycle.   So what characteristics do people with mainly modify Wikipedia? We checked statistics that men rather than wom...

  W5. Do you think wikipedia is right to reject censorship? Kim Shinhee Wikipedia guarantees autonomy, while users evaluate the quality of information to determine whether to delete or keep postings. A similar site is Korea's 'NamuWiki', but the site does not have a system to filter gossip and rumors. Wikipedia attaches great importance to providing information while clearly stating reliable sources without conducting independent research. However, there was a crisis in Wikipedia, too, and certain countries, such as China and North Korea, requested that the content be censored and deleted. However, the request was rejected in accordance with the regulations of the site prohibiting censorship. Is Wikipedia's action a legitimate right?   I think it's fair enough. If Wikipedia accepts a country's request for deletion, Wikipedia will lose the trust it has built up. It will no longer be difficult to believe the authenticity of the content, and situations will arise...

  W4. What are the pros and cons of using Naver versus Google for research purposes? Shinhee Kim Naver and Google are specialized in different directions. Naver not only provides the data users want to get, but also contains stories of interest in various fields on the main page. Google, on the other hand, has a concise main page with its own logo and search engine. When searched, the page also shows the opposite appearance like the main page. Among the contents related to Naver, the so-called "Powerlink" that received the advertising fee is the first to be seen, followed by the associated links by classification. This means that Naver is shown to users after performing the first arrangement. Google, on the other hand, is very simple and regardless of the type of blog, site, or article, they are all listed in the same format in the order of most relevance. These two conflicting sites have different strengths and weaknesses when conducting research. Naver can be checked by c...

  W3: The Vision of Wikipedia Is Wikipedia vision realistic?  This is the vision of Wikipedia. "Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge." Wikipedia lowered the barrier to entry for everyone by putting down the administrator's authority as much as possible. the goal is to create a place where people can gather and share knowledge freely.  We also learned from the lecture that there are only few platforms that will follow Wikipedia globally about the amount of information and the number of users. Therefore, I think this vision is realistic enough. Wikipedia made a forum for knowledge sharing faster than anyone else, and approached Web 2.0 first. This attempt has resulted in a huge amount of information accumulated over a long period of time and could have a large number of users. I think that given an environment in which everyone can enjoy complete freedom, there is also have the power to balance. Various people can...

Wikipedia, a leader in sharing platforms  Week 2. why do you think wikipedia is becoming more accepted? Shinhee Kim Wikipedia operates differently from other communities that have existed until now while completely opening the authority. Many people constantly share their information, it becomes social value. Various information is gathered to create Wikipedia, and people can get more information faster than anywhere else. This advantage was enough to attract people. Wikipedia is particularly popular with people as the concept of sharing economy grows and the boundaries of ownership are becoming unclear. Wikipedia was at the forefront of the sharing platform. The amount of information on the Internet was increasing countless times, and it would have been difficult to keep up with the vast amount of information in one way. However, Wikipedia dared to open everything up and make it easy for anyone to access. In Wikipedia, information can be shared and cooperated as equal indiv...
