Blogging through Wikipedia (2021)

  ∎ What did I learn while editing Wikipedia? While editing Wikipedia, I learned many things, but I want to talk about the importance of cooperation and various knowledge. First of all, the importance of cooperation. Because Wikipedia is an open encyclopedia where people accumulate knowledge together, a good cooperative culture is important. Due to the nature of departments with many team projects, I became familiar with the way we worked together as the grade went up, but I was able to realize it once again through Wikipedia editing activities. When you are with others, it is essential to have a conversation with an open mind, respecting others' opinions, not just my opinion. The second is various knowledge. I always thought about what to write because I had to edit 10 Wikipedia every week. Looking back, I personally edited articles about Korean culture and history. Thanks to this, I was able to accumulate knowledge that I didn't usually know while editing. ∎ How is this a...

   ■ After reading "Categorization" 1. On Wikipedia, documents can be categorized using 'category'. We can easily recognize documents in this category. You can also use the Search tool to locate specific documents in a particular category, or click the category name added at the bottom of the Documents page to view a category page that lists other documents added to the category. Categories should be added by adhering to general and special rules. 2. We must have a clear reason when placing in each category. It must also maintain a neutral view. 3. As I read the category, I remembered the hashtag on Instagram. Hashtags also function as showing characteristics and types of posts. We add as many hashtags as we can, hoping that many people will come to their posts. What do you think about Wikipedia categories and hashtags on Instagram? How about adding as many categories of Wikipedia as possible like the hashtag on Instagram?

  ∎ What is "quality" for our societies? 1. Quality refers to the total things that nature, value, usefulness, and rating of an object. In addition, criteria exist to determine quality. The criteria here are relative, not absolute. When asked to evaluate the quality of our society now, people will judge our society for different reasons. Each of these criteria is not a matter of right or wrong. It's just that each other's thoughts are different. However, I personally hope that when evaluating the quality of our society, we would like to evaluate non-material "value" rather than material. In modern times when capitalism prevails, people evaluate quality based on money. In that case, our society can focus only on matter, ignore the values beyond it, and live a desolate life. 2. It evaluated 'OECD countries' national happiness levels from 2018 to 2020. Here, the basic data of the national happiness index is based on gross domestic product, working hours...

  ∎ How important is privacy for you and what are we doing to protect it? 1. 'Privacy' means to the daily life of an individual. So it's 'time' to act comfortably without caring about others. If these times are violated by others, they should not spend their daily lives comfortably and always suppress themselves. To put it simply, you have to live without taking off your suit for business. If this happens, the body and mind may continue to be exhausted and may not behave properly in public situations. 2. Currently, I don't do SNS such as Instagram or Facebook to protect my privacy. In other words, I try not to share my daily life with others. Also, whenever I have time, I block people who are not close to me from my Kakao Talk friend list. 3. Journalists are the first thing that comes to my mind when I think of 'privacy'. Journalists confront accusations of privacy violations, claiming "people's right to know." What do you think about this?

  ∎ How to reduce the digital divide? 1. The digital divide exists both within and outside countries. First of all, I want to talk about the digital divide within the country. South Korea enacted a law on narrowing the digital divide in 2001. It guarantees free access to information and use of information and communication networks for people who are unable to use information and communication services necessary for life for various reasons such as economic, regional, physical, etc. The government provides education that can support information and communication. And They offer device for free or paid. In addition, there are many free public Wi-Fi installations. However, with the advent of the Corona  non-contact  era, the digital divide of the elderly is widening. In particular, they often have difficulty ordering kiosks and cannot use the facilities. Therefore, efforts should be made to write down the 'take out'( 포장 ) in Korean or grow font size so that the elderly can ...

  ∎ When do you think we can use Wikipedia as a source? 1. Wikipedia can be used as a source when there is solid evidence that Wikipedia is reliable. It has been reviewed by many people, and it should be an article of credible sources. I think Wikipedia is reliable. However, not all Wikipedia articles have credibility. Some sources are not registered, and some sources themselves are unreliable. 2. Personally, I think it will be difficult to use as a source for public writings such as articles and papers. I think we can use it as a source when we do school assignments. Because the reader should think Wikipedia's source is reliable, but Wikipedia credibility is still low in Korea. 3. Then what does it take to increase the credibility of Wikipedia in our country? What should I do? I think the first thing to do is to encourage many people to use Wikipedia. I also came to understand Wikipedia's system by using Wikipedia. I think understanding the system will increase the credibil...

  ∎ Do you think wikipedia is reliable? Why or why not? 1. To determine whether Wikipedia is reliable, you need to understand Wikipedia's system. Wikipedia encourages people to reveal their sources. If you don't reveal the source, a notification appears at the top of the article. Also, Wikipedia users can review each other. If it's not the right information, you can talk to the other person and correct the information. In the past, when I heard that Wikipedia was an encyclopedia made by users, not experts, I thought Wikipedia would not have reliable information. However, during the course, I understood Wikipedia and now I think Wikipedia is reliable. 2. Sometimes knowledge of collective intelligence is better than knowledge of experts. Also, there is no 100% chance of what humans do. There are bound to be mistakes made by humans, and not only Wikipedia but also experts. I can't say Wikipedia is more reliable than a professional. However, Wikipedia cannot be said to be u...

  1.      What do you find difficult? There were many difficulties editing Wikipedia. The reason why it was so difficult was that Wikipedia was unfamiliar. Because it has to be translated into English, I paid a lot of attention to whether it was grammatically correct and whether it was the right style for online encyclopedias. In addition, it was difficult to find and attach photos that did not have copyright. It is now adapted to weekly Wikipedia edits. So I'm having fun and editing. 2.      What do you find enjoyable? It's fun to choose a topic of interest and read what's already been edited and find something to add. As I read, I can see things I didn't know, and I feel rewarded to fill in the article so that it can be more complete. Completing one whole piece of writing with others also played a part. 3.      Discussion Do you have any other features that you would like to add to Wikipedia?

  review Good faith collaboration: the culture of Wikipedia. Cambridge Elena Maceviciute Professor Faculty of Communication Vilnius University July, 2011 1. The author of the book has proven that he can overcome all difficulties. The red thread guided throughout the text is the author's hypothesis that the assumption of good faith is the success factor in making Wikipedia. It provides an analysis of how good faith is used to solve emerging problems. Good faith is deeply related to Wikipedia's collaborative culture, which can be said to be a more important result of Wikipedia creation than the encyclopedia itself. The way we work together is the foundation for achieving our goals, and the method is more important than the goal for the end result. 2. I was also interested in the fact that many of the discoveries about Wikipedia's collaborative culture were similar to some of the results generated by voluntary organizational communication surveys. 3. We know that...

∎ Do you think wikipedia is right to reject censorship?   First of all, I think Wikipedia is right to refuse censorship. We have to look at the role of censorship to say why I thought this way. We often encounter hateful and degrading expressions and read the rewd content. Of course, we, as rational people, can maintain the right mindset without being swayed by this content. However, we cannot ignore unconsciousness. If the content continues to be exposed, it affects us in any direction, whether positive or negative. We can eliminate the negative impact on us through censorship. However, censorship does not have only these advantages. Misuse of censorship may result in dictatorship. In fact, those who started dictatorships in our history censored the media, controlled public opinion and manipulated people's thoughts. Also, this censorship is out of line with Wikipedia's ideology. Of course, there may be people who are worried about Wikipedia's incorrect content in terms of ...

  1). Open, civil, equal, deliberate. This concept is part of the characteristics seen in the universal encyclopedia. Considering these characteristics, it can be felt that leaders should not exist in a universal encyclopedia. However, any community is peaceful with a leader. So what does Wikipedia's leader look like? The article mentions Wales a lot as a Wikipedia leader. Wikipedia's culture of good was shaped by Wales's values and actions, which helped that Wales establish many of Wikipedia's essential values and norms. An informal benevolent dictator, like Wales, plays a role in gently leading communities, mediating internal disputes, and defending the malicious. 2). Wales has patience, politeness, humility and a willingness to apologize. This image of him made a benevolent dictator. There is one more thing that cannot be omitted from this. It's called humor. I would say that a benevolent dictator with humor is 'a person of gentle charisma.' 3). We have m...

1). The article is talking about an Consensus. H.G. Wells believes that the world encyclopedia should be an institution that can resolve misunderstandings, allowing coordination and judgment without stopping at accumulating information. To do so, Consensus between the parties is important. So what is an Consensus? Consensus are the way editors work with others on Wikipedia. It is the basic model of Wikipedia's editorial decision making. In Wikipedia, people should discuss and infer from verifiable data, and good will should be fundamental to it. Only then can an Consensus be reached. These Consensus are considered appropriate means in communities with egalitarian values and well-meaning cultures in the form of decisions that are central to online collaboration since the beginning of the Internet. However, the process of reaching an Consensus is not easy. It's very difficult. 2). Another concept from the article is 'voting.' In some situations, voting may be a more appro...

  ∎ Why is wikipedia less popular in South Korean than in most other developed countries? 1. In Korea, there is less preference for Wikipedia than in other developed countries. People can comment on various reasons for this. However, in my opinion, we can find the essential reason why there is little preference for Wikipedia in Korea in the cultural context. 2. Edward Hall, a cultural anthropologist, explained the high and low context cultures. Low-context culture is straightforward and clear in communication with others. It has the characteristics of articulating one's intentions in words and letters. However, high-context cultures have indirect, ambiguous and connotative communication. This high-context culture shows a passive attitude in activities that demand discussion and questions. Korea is included in the high context culture, in other words, Wikipedia, which accumulates information through discussions with each other, is unfamiliar in Korea. In order for us to prefer Wi...

∎ Chapter 1 Nazis and Norms ∎ Chapter 2 The Pursuit of the Universal Encyclopedia 1. The materials presented by the professor talk about Wikipedia in common, and the most central topic is Wikipedia's culture of good faith. First of all, Wikipedia, as everyone knows, is an encyclopedia that many people can participate in. In other words, Wikipedia is a community, because Wikipedia's information is generated by constant communication. When people agree and materialize information, more people can access reliable information. 2. Here is a law that compares online discussion, located opposite Wikipedia culture. It is Godwin's law. Godwin's law means that if online discussions are prolonged, there is a high possibility of comparison to Hitler, which means that prolonged discussions lead to personal attacks. It was the first time I heard the law, so I remembered it the most after reading the materials, but it was a phenomenon that can be easily seen in our daily lives. ...

  ∎ Universities often teach you theoretical stuff that is mostly useless in real time   I don't agree much with the idea that universities often teach useless theoretical things. First of all, in order to talk about this, we must definitely define what 'useless' means. "Useless" means that there are no areas or parts that will be used, which in other words does not help us in our daily lives. So, are the subjects we often learn in college really not helpful in our daily lives? I think it's a little hasty to say yes to this question. We don't only learn 'A' in the class that teaches 'A'. You can learn something else, such as cooperation, from various activities such as team projects and reports, which are carried out to learn "A". In other words, we learn a number of indirect things in class besides the direct things that the school wants to teach. Of course, the ultimate purpose of the class may not be of any help to ou...

 ∎ Why are you taking this class? ∎ What practical skills do you expect to gain from attending it?   1)    About a person : Together I can’t forget what my teacher said when I was young while learning Chinese characters ‘ 人 ’, which means ‘person’. The Chinese characters, which look like two people leaning against each other, show how we should live. There is something we have heard at least once in our life. "People are social animals." This means that, similar to ‘ 人 ’, a person can’t live alone and is an animal that confirms its existence in interaction with others. We even now live in a community of family, friends, school, furthermore Korea. 2)    Advanced Technology : Overflowing Knowledge Unlike in the past, when we only accepted information, technological advancement allows us to provide information and to accept information. With the environment where information can be easily handled, people are actively generating information. As a re...
