W15: What did I learn while editing Wikipedia? How is this assignment different from more traditional student assignments? Is it more fun? WANG XIAOLING, 왕효령

      1) Summary When I first edited Wikipedia, I was at a loss and ignorant. But in the slow editing process, Wikipedia has taught me a lot. For example, improve my English ability, and Wikipedia editing ability and so on. Let’s talk about editing capabilities below: ● In terms of entry content The content of the topic must be accurate and rigorous, and the entry information must be valid and strongly related to the entry. In the editing process, a neutral third party expression was adopted to objectively describe the facts and avoid perceptual and subjective narration. On the basis of accuracy and objectivity, enrich the information related to the topic from multiple perspectives, such as adding images. ● In terms of entry form The content of the full text must be clear and logical. Enables other users to work with easy-to-read text. The typesetting conforms to the general standard of Internet content publishing. The editing style of Wikipedia. Follow the logical struct...

W14: Thoughts after reading "Wikipedia:Did you know" . WANG XIAOLING, 왕효령

    1) Summary This page mainly introduces new articles or extended articles that DYK can select through the informal review process. And explained its purpose and goals. Explains what DYK is not, and DYK's rules (for example, images, eligibility criteria, date requests, etc.). In addition, there are DYK's process and participants and so on. It's really interesting. 2) Interesting point It's been a while since Wikipedia was edited, and it was the first time that DYK knew about it in order to show new or improved content. After reading it, I feel very novel. Wikipedia is an ever-evolving encyclopedia, making Wikipedia's content increasingly rich and comprehensive. 3) Discussion point How do you feel after reading it? Do you think Wikipedia is powerful?

W13: Thoughts after reading "Wikipedia:Categorization" . WANG XIAOLING, 왕효령

  1) Summary This entry mainly introduces how to correctly use the classification function of Wikipedia. Navigation on the homepage and related pages of Wikipedia involves two manifestations of hierarchical classification and faceted classification. The classification search uses a combination of grade and hierarchy to distribute different items under different category systems according to the two factors of field and region. At the same time, sub-categories are used to divide the items again, and facets are used in the specific item pages. The form of classification realizes the redirection between related items, And at the bottom of the page, the classification of items is explained in detail, which greatly facilitates the use of users. 2) Interesting point In the user's search experience, Wikipedia uses a taxonomy to process items. At present, Wikipedia has a high reputation worldwide and has certain authority in the field of information services. 3) Discuss...

W12: Thoughts after reading "Wikipedia:Article development" . WANG XIAOLING, 왕효령

  1) Summary After reading it, I have a deep understanding of how Wikipedia articles are developed, such as each stage of the article, development articles and featured articles. In addition, I learned in detail how to write articles on Wikipedia, find related articles and books, and so on. In fact, when I edited Wikipedia before, I didn't know where to create the article that Wikipedia needed to create. I often searched and found that Wikipedia already had this entry. But after reading this Wikipedia, I finally know where to find a good way to create articles. 2) Interesting point What surprised me was that the original evaluation of Wikipedia articles was peer-reviewed, which may not be the same as peer-reviewed in real life. It's really interesting! 3) Discussion point After reading, I think Wikipedia articles are worthy of being a source of academic papers. What do you think?

W12: What is "quality" for our societies?WANG XIAOLING/왕효령

  1) Summary Quality, also known as quality. Indicates the qualities or attributes of a product. There are advantages and disadvantages of quality, also can be said to have high and low. People tend to regard high quality products (or services) as "good quality" and low quality products (or services) as "poor quality". 2) Interesting point For Wikipedia, then, quality is what separates good articles from bad: high quality articles and low quality articles. I think in terms of format, Wikipedia stays the same. In terms of content, Wikipedia is written by volunteers, and it is not always possible to write with complete quality without subjectivity. But the way to ensure objectivity and neutrality is that Wikipedia requires all information to be sourced, so if you disagree with the content on Wikipedia, you can edit it, but you need to cite the source. In this way it prevents, to a certain extent, fabrication and fabrication, and therefore it also eliminates the compul...

W11: How do Wikipedians determine "quality"? . WANG XIAOLING, 왕효령

Image quality refers to people's subjective evaluation of the visual perception of an image. It is generally believed that the image quality refers to the degree of error in the human visual system of the measured image (ie the target image) compared to the standard image (ie the original image). In other words, compared to the original image, the human eye believes that the target image has almost no degradation. Quality or damage, it is said that the quality of the target image is high, otherwise it is said that the image quality is poor. Another definition means that without the original image, the human eye can clearly distinguish the things in the image, and can distinguish the foreground and background, the outline of the object, the texture, etc. in the image, which means that the image quality is good. Otherwise, the image quality is poor. Generally, there are two main methods for evaluating image quality: 1 Subjective evaluation method: The observer evaluates the image qua...

W11: Thoughts after reading "Commons:FAQ" . WANG XIAOLING, 왕효령

  1) Summary I have always had questions about how to upload pictures on Wikipedia, because when I was editing Wikipedia, I tried to upload the picture, but after uploading it, it was deleted after a few days. Wikipedia replied that I did not use the correct license. But after reading "Common Points: Frequently Asked Questions", it summarizes common questions in Wikimedia Commons and provides short answers and links to background pages. that give me a more detailed understanding of project issues, copyright issues, technical issues and public community issues. I was impressed. Once I understood the process of how to upload pictures, I successfully uploaded pictures on Wikimedia Commons immediately. I find it very interesting and a sense of accomplishment. 2) Interesting point I used to think that only pictures can be uploaded on Wikipedia, but videos can also be uploaded, which surprised me. What's more amazing is that you can also translate video subtitles. Wikipedia is ...

W10: Is internet addiction real? Are we addicted to the internet? WANG XIAOLING,왕효령

With the rapid development of Internet technology, the Internet is penetrating into all areas of social life at an astonishing speed, and is changing our life, work and even the way of thinking. Our generation, who is sensitive, curious and receptive to new things, bears the brunt. The Internet is a double-edged sword. The virtual online world has brought us a wealth of knowledge, information and spiritual challenges and pleasures, but at the same time, a large number of negative factors such as information spam and pornography in the Internet are also being ruthlessly swallowed. We are not strong in self-control and recognition ability. That's internet addiction. Internet addiction refers to the uncontrolled behavior of the impulse to use the Internet without the action of addictive substances, which is manifested as excessive use of the Internet, which leads to obvious academic, professional and social function damage. Of course, many of us are addicted to the Internet, whic...

W10: Can we think of some example of how Internet has changed our culture? WANG XIAOLING,왕효령

 With the constant changes and rapid development of the times, the Internet has reached its limit, making it penetrate all aspects of people's lives and work at an astonishing speed, and has become an inseparable partner of today's people. The application of multiple functions of the Internet helps expand the field of knowledge, acquire a wide range of new knowledge through the Internet, and improve skills and intelligence; and intelligence, skills and intelligence are the three major elements that reflect human quality. The magic of the Internet is that our culture has been greatly changed. For exampleIn, in today's daily work, we all know that sending emails through the Internet can save a lot of wood pulp and paper, improve environmental protection, and establish e-commerce awareness. The increase in the awareness of using electronic money is also an important indicator of the quality of the whole nation. It also helps to promote the electronic currency process and enhan...

W10: Thoughts after reading "Free-culture movement". WANG XIAOLING, 왕효령

  1) Summary After reading about the "Free-culture movement", I have a detailed understanding of the historical background and organization of the free culture movement, and left a deep impression on me.   In the book "Free Culture", regarding the extension of copyright protection period,  Lawrence Lessig   a  proposed "free culture", and he also supports free software and openness.  There are also doubts and criticisms from different people in society. 2) Interesting point How monopolistic institutions imprison culture and inhibit innovation by manipulating laws and technology, while free culture and people’s digital rights should be protected to a greater degree in the new millennium, just like human rights today. Lessig believes that "the opposite of free culture is a ‘permitted culture’... in which creators can only create with the permission of the original author or a powerful force". 3) Discussion point What kind of influence do y...

W9: Thoughts after reading "Wikipedia:List of hoaxes on Wikipedia". WANG XIAOLING, 왕효령

  1) Summary Wikipedia has many tools for contributors (and a few more for administrators only) to combat vandalism. Supporters of Wikipedia believe that the vast majority of attacks can be detected and corrected in a short period of time. However, this is not inevitable. Destructions such as clearing pages and adding offensive images are easy to correct in a short period of time, but many destructive behaviors can be retained for longer. For example, a user recently added extremely racist content to en:Martin Luther King Day several times, but they were not corrected until almost 4 hours later. In the current version of Wikipedia, there are also several defamatory, unfounded or obviously false claims that have existed for a long time. The Seigenthaler incident is by far the most famous example. 2) The new knowledge  point Supporters of Wikipedia often claim that undetected acts of sabotage are mainly related to low-profile items. Most undetected destructive edits are made by ...

W9: Do you think Wikipedia is reliable? Why or why not? WANG XIAOLING,왕효령

 1) Summary I think the reliability of Wikipedia is gradually increasing. Wikipedia has matured day by day, and the basic facts stated are not wrong, and the basic views described are generally not wrong. Moreover, many entries and articles also provide information sources for people to make further arguments. In other words, as the most basic information material, the accuracy and credibility of Wikipedia is trustworthy. According to an article in Nature in 2005, after comparing Encyclopedia Britannica with Wikipedia, it was found that the accuracy of Encyclopedia Britannica was close to that of Encyclopedia Britannica. 2) Interesting point Today is the age of digitization, networking and information. There are at least two major characteristics of this era. One is the state of information exploding, prompting people to have to use network search engines and other tool-based methods to obtain the information they need. As of today, who can refuse to use Google, Bing, Yahoo to...

W9: What makes information reliable? WANG XIAOLING,왕효령

  1) Summary The value of information exists because it has a certain degree of reliability. If the information does not have reliability, it will be worthless. We are in the information society, or the information age, and all kinds of information are growing rapidly. Therefore, we should have the ability to identify the reliability of information. So how to identify it? A reliable source of information should be academic publications, periodicals, newspapers, magazines, books, etc. Instead of a random website (such as a social media website) can prove the reliability of the information. 2) Interesting point In reality, a large amount of information cannot be judged whether it is correct, neither can it be judged whether it is correct, nor whether it is incorrect. This kind of non-absolutely reliable information that cannot be judged whether it is correct is widespread, but the reliability of the information is obviously very important. Once the informatio...

W8: Thoughts after reading "Reliability of Wikipedia". WANG XIAOLING, 왕효령

   1)  Summary Wikipedia is constantly adjusting to ensure the accuracy and authority of its important entries and topics. One way to do this is to submit a specific entry to an expert in the relevant field for review, and then freeze the entry so that no one else can modify it at will, in order to ensure the stability and authority of the researcher when quoting the entry. Moreover, more and more scholars have joined the Wikipedia writing team to ensure the authority of Wikipedia entry articles. According to Wikipedia, as of March 2017, Wikipedia has nearly 40,000 high-quality articles. They are named in-depth articles and excellent articles respectively. Most of the topics discussed in these articles are important topics.  2)  Enlightened Point Wikipedia always contains a lot of entries that are missed or not included in traditional encyclopedias, especially content such as contemporary culture and network technology. This is the reason why many neti...

W8: How important is improved communication for our lives? WANG XIAOLING,왕효령

   1) Summary In our lives, communication is to exchange the emotions, thoughts and goals of both parties. Communication is actually to deliver messages, so that each of us can understand each other, thereby establishing emotional and thought communication. So why should we improve communication between people, because communication is a process of feedback and transmission of thoughts and feelings between people and groups. Therefore, we must learn to improve communication. If we can communicate, we can get closer to each other. If we learn to improve communication, then we can resonate and promote cooperation to achieve a win-win situation. 2) Interesting point 70% of the emotions in the communication process and 30% are the content. Therefore, to effectively improve communication, you must first communicate the emotions. If the communication emotions are right, the communication must be smooth. If the communication emotions are not right, the communication will de...

W8:Why is Wikipedia so successful? WANG XIAOLING, 왕효령

   1) Summary Wikipedia is built on the basis of wiki technology, but the Wikimedia Foundation has not limited its attention to encyclopedia content. Perhaps in its view, not only encyclopedias, but also a variety of content including dictionaries, books, news, etc., can be edited by wiki technology in a community.  That's why Wikipedia has achieved great success in group co-editing, and the Wikimedia Foundation has also received sufficient operating funds by accepting donations. It seems that Wikipedia has gone beyond the scope of a technical name and has become an operating model. The characteristics of this model are: to build a platform for non-profit purposes, to provide corresponding content for the platform through the power of everyone, and finally to raise funds from the public through high-quality content to maintain its own operations. This is also one of the reasons for the success of Wikipedia. 2) Interesting point From the perspective of sociology,...

W7: Review of Good Faith Collaboration / WANG XIAOLING, 왕효령

1. Summary This book details the origin and historical development of Wikipedia. In addition, it also introduces the collaboration culture of Wikipedia from the perspectives of honest cooperation(Maintain a neutral point of view and edit in good faith sincerely), openness(Non-discrimination, transparency and integrity, gender), and challenges of disputes and convincing cases were also presented. To explain why the unique culture of Wikipedia is a success and why it is a miracle today. 2. Interesting / Useful point Wikipedia positions itself as an encyclopedia that encompasses all areas of human knowledge, rather than a dictionary, online forum, or anything else.  Secondly, Wikipedia allows wide public participation, and it is a collaborative project. In addition, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia with open content, which allows any third party to copy, modify and redistribute any part or all of the material without restrictions. In this participatory age, interactive learning ...

W6: Thoughts after reading "Encyclopedic Anxiety"./ WANG XIAOLING, 왕효령

  1) Summary The success of Wikipedia is not accidental. In this process, it must go through various twists and turns, which is questioned and disputed by people. Although Wikipedia is social and organizational, you can think of it as the collaboration of a group of people, but the facts are not only that. Without the professional leadership of some people, it would be difficult for Wikipedia to achieve its current achievements. Therefore, in the process of collaboration, Wikipedia's technological and social changes caused a series of problems. Because a group of experts, including the founder, made Wikipedia what it is today. Achieved that Wikipedia can not only be used as a reference book, but also as a study of the construction of knowledge and the way of competition.  2) New point Because of the success of Wikipedia, it allowed me to gather together, communicate, create, and interact with a group of people with common interests and hobbies. During the c...

W6: Why do people contribute to Wikipedia? They are not getting paid./WANG XIAOLING, 왕효령

Image
Simply put, many ordinary people in different places through the Internet to create a thing-Wikipedia, and this thing has always been considered to be of great value. The motivation mechanism that motivates people to do this is as simple and pure as playing in the mud when they were young. It is a pleasure from creation and dissemination. Sorting out the knowledge and sharing it with everyone is very interesting in itself. Because Wikipedia is opposed to plagiarism, you need to organize and express it in your own words every time you write an item, so you will have the pleasure of being creative. In addition, you will gain a sense of identity, well-written entries will be discussed and followed by many people, and you can meet many knowledgeable and interesting friends.  For me personally, there is undoubtedly a great sense of accomplishment when I edit the content of Wikipedia to increase the knowledge of others. These are all the fun that Wikipedia can bring t...

W6: Who do you think edits Wikipedia? The young, the old, male, female, Americans, koreans? /WANG XIAOLING, 왕효령

 1) Summary Wikipedia opens editing rights to all users, and in the editing rules, no gender-restricted items are found. However, in 2008, a survey found that less than 13% of Wikipedia editors worldwide were women. This "everyone can edit" free online encyclopedia was exploded mainly in the hands of men. A follow-up survey in 2011 found the same result: Globally, female editors accounted for 9%; in the UK, it was 15%. In contrast, there is no obvious gender difference in the proportion of readers.  2) Interesting point Because editing Wikipedia usually means deleting or changing the work of other editors, conflicts are very common. This is not just proofreading. The "edit wars" caused the disputes among users, as well as harassment and disruptive behaviors, all contributed to a hostile environment, particularly unattractive to women.  3) Discussion point So besides that, why do you think there are so few women editing Wikipedia articles?
