W15 / What did I learn while editing Wikipedia? How is this assignment different from more traditional student assignments? Is it more fun? / Sangmin Choe

This is my second time editing Wikipedia. I edited it in the last class. Every time I edit Wikipedia, I think about the importance of the community. A community where different people gather to create articles on different topics and share knowledge. In today's society, various things make up an individual's identity. Among them, the Internet community has become an important factor in determining a person's identity. Depending on what kind of community you have, your judgment on the person may vary. I think Wikipedia is a healthy community. This is because various people gather to have a discussion and constructive conversation. The traditional assignment was professor-centered. It was to do what the professor told me to do. However, this assignment was good because I was able to choose the areas I was interested in and do it autonomously. I'm interested in marketing, so I'm working on an article " Growth  hacking " . While editing Wikipedia, I learned ab...

 1.  The Manual of Style (MoS or MOS) is an in-depth guide that provides standards on how to format Wikipedia articles. The content is more important than formatting, so you don't need to memorize it, just refer to it whenever you need it.  The article should begin with a short summary. Next, readers should be able to access more specific content. The lead section is the first part of the article.  The first sentence of the lead typically contains a concise definition and establishes the topic's notability. The Lead section should be easy and concise.  The first sentence of the lead typically contains a concise definition and establishes the topic's notability.  Images make it easier for readers to understand. Images should be spread evenly through an article, be relevant to the sections in which the images are displayed, and include an explanatory caption. Quotations from sources should not be abused. It should be a reliable source, and you can refer to th...

 1. Did You Know (DYK) is a section of the main page. DYK shows new articles through some process. Wikipedia's goal is to create an encyclopedia in all areas of human knowledge. Of the hundreds of articles written, users can access the new article through DYK. DYK has the following objectives. It shows new and improved content. It shows a variety of information covered by Wikipedia. Communicate facts on a variety of topics. Encourage the editor to continue editing. Gather new editors.  DYK does not require the best quality. It is also not a quiz and is not used as a commercial political tool. There are four criteria to be selected as the DKU. The article should be a new one. The article should be long enough. The source must be reliable and have a source. We must abide by Wikipedia's core policies.  Hooks should be concise. It should also be neutral. The first hook must have an image associated with it. 2. I have also read DYK articles. It is interesting that this en...

W13 : After reading Categorization / Sangmin Choe

 1. Categories are intended to group pages on similar topics. Categories help readers locate and navigate the topic area, view pages sorted by title, and find article relationships. When you click a category name, a category page appears listing articles added to a particular category.  There may also be a section listing subcategories of that category. Subcategorization allows you to organize categories into tree-like structures to support navigation. A key goal of a category system is to quickly inform readers who find similar topics. Lists and navigation templates provide functions similar to categories. But there is a difference. Be especially careful when naming categories and select the correct names. The topic category is singular and the set category is plural. All wikipedia pages must belong to at least one category. However, exceptions are discussion pages, redirection, or user pages. One way to ensure that the appropriate category already ex...

 1. Wikipedia allows you to write articles about everything. A good article is an article with the necessary content. It contains verifiable information and is described as a reliable and appropriately copyrighted license image and has a broad and neutral perspective. Copyright should not be infringed. The spelling and grammar have to be correct so people can understand. The style guide line manual should be respected. And a good article must include sources of information. There should be no plagiarism. The content doesn't change much every day because it's stable. 2. I've thought about whether I'm editing articles well on Wikipedia. I try to comply with the above good article conditions as much as possible. I may have made some mistakes. But I'm still trying and I want to make good articles. 3. Is there any good article on Wikipedia you have seen?

1.  Creative Commons is a global nonprofit organization that enables sharing and reuse of creativity and knowledge through the provision of free legal tools. CC helps those who want to encourage reuse of their works by offering them for use under generous, standardized terms; those who want to make creative uses of works; and those who want to benefit from this symbiosis. CC licenses are copyright licenses, and depend on the existence of copyright to work.  "Wikimedia Commons" (short form "Commons") is a media repository that is created and maintained by volunteers. It provides a central repository for  freely licensed  photographs, diagrams, animations, music, spoken text, video clips, and media of all sorts that are  useful  for any Wikimedia project, the most well-known of which is Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.  Any  freely licensed  media file (images, sound, video, etc.) that is  useful  for any Wikimedia project can be upl...

W10 Can we think some of products and industries that have been disrupted by internet?

 Video rental industry. In the past, video rental and DVD rental industries were active in the film market. But now it's all replaced by Internet streaming services. Blockbuster, a video rental company, almost bought Netflix, but did not. And the blockbuster is doomed. Netflix has survived in the age of the Internet.

W10 How to reduce the digital divide?

I think world aid is necessary. Digital inequality is concentrated in certain areas. Digital education is needed for their growth and independence. I think the parts that are difficult for developing countries to proceed should be supplemented by world aid.

1. The   free-culture movement   is a   that promotes the freedom to distribute and modify the   of others in the form of   or   without compensation to, or the consent of, the work's original creators, by using the Internet and other forms of media.  Remix culture , sometimes  read-write culture , is a term describing a  that allows and encourages  by combining or editing existing materials to produce a new creative work or product.  Wikipedia includes free culture and remix culture. This is because anyone can use it for free and anyone can use it without permission.  There is internet inequality in the world. Some argue that the right to access the Internet is a fundamental human right.   2.  It was an opportunity to think that the right to access the Internet was a fundamental right. Internet is so natural  for me so I never thought of that.  It's hard to imagine life without the Internet. In mo...

1. Fake articles are also created on Wikipedia. For the purpose of this list, a hoax is defined as a clear and reliable current false information as fact. Nor do they allow on April Fool's Day pranks.  One way to identify a fake article is to investigate its structure and content, what other articles on Wikipedia mention (i.e., insertivity), and the functionality of the editor who created the page. In particular, fake articles are longer than legitimate articles, less likely to have links to other Wikipedia articles, references, images, or other "wiki-like" markups, and less likely to be mentioned in other Wikipedia articles before writing. It is more likely to be created from a new account with little or no other modifications. Within approximately an hour, 90% of the fake information is deleted and only 1% lasts for more than a year. 2.  It's amazing that fake articles disappear so quickly. It is also interesting that 1% does not last more than a year. I knew there ...

W8: Reliability of Wikipedia / Sangmin Choe

 1. Wikipedia is edited to remain anonymous. Some errors in Wikipedia article has existed. Selection bias in accordance with the characteristics that 1 % to the written most of the article writer chamyeo, sour and bias. Such as racial bias, gender bias problem has occurred. There are many views about the reliability of Wikipedia. The editor has no credentials for his/her editing skills, knowledge of the topic. So Wikipedia is not permitted as a source to writing an official paper. Wikipedia is also uneven reliability and lack inclusiveness by participating of only 1%.  Wikipedia includes pro-American/English bias.  Also, Wikipedia could remain in the false information or inaccurate information for a long time.  There are also vicious acts such as political issues, corporate promotional industries, and editing for financial compensation. Wikipedia articles should be based on trusted and well-known sources. Therefore, what sources are used is a very important issue. Th...

W7 : The Review of Good Faith Collaboration Sangmin Choe

1.  The Culture of Wikipedia is a book about Wikipedia community and Wikipedia.  The main point of this book is that Wikipedia is based on good faith  collaboration .  The Internet is becoming more and more advertising media, but Wikipedia is the exception. In most Internet history, free information originated in communities such as creative communities. Wikipedia's collaboration is contagious and emphasizes and strengthens ethics. Collective problem solving is a difficult job. Wikipedia is an example of decentralized collaboration success. It is creating a productive and civic culture in the online space. Wikipedia strives to maintain neutrality. It focuses on what's in it, not what's right or wrong. Discussion plays a major role in Wikipedia's midnight hours. An important factor in the formation of Wikipedia is the creation of a place where people can be together. If Wikipedia's system can be applied to real politics, it can maximize productivity.  2. By readi...

W6: Thoughts after reading "Encyclopedic Anxiety", "A Globe in Accord" / Sanmmin Choe

1  Pareto's law also applies to Wikipedia, where few users edit most Wikipedia articles.  The interpretation of history is often tarnished by the present. In other words, it can vary depending on the perspective and interpretation of history. Since Wikipedia is an encyclopedia edited by various people, it provides an opportunity to examine attitudes and beliefs about knowledge in various fields. In other words, the social context can be read through Wikipedia.  Knowledge production can be viewed in three dimensions. An isolated encyclopedia is useless. No one can edit an encyclopedia by himself. It includes interactions within social organizations. Finally, there is Wikipedia and other open content. The universal encyclopedia wants to have scalability. Also, the world's encyclopedias are not limited to text. New media and technology have been embraced. However, many critics have negative thoughts about Wikipedia, which is a collaboration of amateurs, not experts. It is al...

W5 Do you think Wikipedia is right to reject censorship?

  I support Wikipedia's ban on censorship. Because I believe in Wikipedia's self-purification effect. Most of the people who participate in Wikipedia are those who voluntarily participate in it. Voluntary participants really like Wikipedia and want Wikipedia to be prosperous. Therefore, I think they will voluntarily develop Wikipedia by checking the contents that are not suitable for it.

After reading “The Benevolent Dictator” Sangmin Choe

 1. Wikipedia is receiving a lot of criticism. It is criticized from various perspectives, such as the usefulness of reference materials and their suitability as encyclopedias. Some professors even ban the use of Wikipedia as a reference. Wikipedia, which can be edited by anyone, is often compared by critics as a dystopia. Unlike critics, however, Wikipedia advocates argue that it is a powerful tool for promoting and empowering responsible personal expressions. The way content is produced has definitely changed in the platform called Wiki. From a few elites produced to everyone produce.  There is controversy over whether this is good. Wikipedia is an incomplete realization of the vision that the encyclopedia has long pursued. Some also expressed concern about the debate, which is a characteristic of Wikipedia. And they point out that technology can inspire someone but also be a barrier to someone. We should also take this criticism from Wikipedia and study how knowledge is cre...

W4: "Good Faith Collaboration: The Culture of Wikipedia" - 'Good Faith Collaboration' and 'The Puzzle of Openness'

 1.  There are two complementary postures at the heart of Wikipedia collaboration: the stances of “Neutral Point of View” (NPOV) and good faith. Whereas other communities may have a culture of good faith (i.e., assume good faith on the part of others, and acting with patience, civility, and humor), few are concerned with producing an encyclopedia.  C ollaborative culture  refers to a set of assumptions, values, meanings, and actions pertaining to working together within a community. Jenkins defines participatory culture as one in which there are low barriers of engagement, support for creation and sharing, and some form of mentorship or socialization, and members believe that their contributions matter and they “feel some degree of social connection with one another.” By these criteria, Wikipedia would qualify. Wiki is the best example of this notion of “regenerative” or “recursive” feedback.  Editing in wiki is agile and manageable. In principle, there are th...

W3) Blog assignment / Sangmin Choe

1.  Wikipedia is one of the most popular wikis. Wiki means a website that anyone can modify, add, or delete. Because of these characteristics, vandalism is often a problem in small wikis, but it is overcome through self-purification effects and algorithms in large wikis. Wikis are part of the "Web 2.0". Web 2.0 means that the user can interact. Web 1.0, on the other hand, is static because users cannot interact. Instagram, YouTube, etc. are typical web 2.0. Wikipedia is a non-profit organization that also operates sub-sites such as Wikimedia Wikibooks. Wikipedia began with an Enlightenment aspiration and was motivated to make information accessible universally available. Wikipedia is not just an online multilingual encyclopedia. It is constantly changed and updated by the conversation of users. The universal vision of an encyclopedia is to increase access to knowledge for all people. In the past, many people have tried to make information warehouses using the te...

W2) Why Wikipedia? / Sangmin Choe

  1. Wikipedia is a worldwide knowledge-sharing platform. It is available in a variety of languages and has become a popular site around the world.  Anyone can participate and anyone can share. Wikipedia is used in various fields.  Why do you think Wikipedia is becoming more accepted? It is because Wikipedia is more powerful than the individual. I think Wikipedia has become a synonym for knowledge-sharing platforms, and people who were initially suspicious in the credit sector have changed their perception. In the past, only the knowledge of authoritative people was thought to be useful, but with the development of the Internet, authority alone does not guarantee the usefulness of knowledge. Wikipedia seems to be gaining popularity because anyone can share information and be interested in a platform that can generate information and narrow the gap in information. 2. I didn't know Wikipedia was so popular all over the world. This is because the platform Namuwiki ...

w1:Why are you taking this class?What practical skills do you expect to gain from attending it?

Why are you taking this class? I wrote an article on Wikipedia in the last Globalization sociology class and it was interesting. I naturally became interested in collective intelligence and wanted to learn more about it, so I took this class. What practical skills do you expect to gain from attending it? I think communication is important to achieve collective intelligence. I want to learn how to resolve and communicate when there is a conflict. Also, I want to learn about the things that we should be wary of and the problems that may arise about achieve collective intelligence. And I want to study the actual case of collective intelligence.
