Extra Posting : Do you think Wikipedia is right to reject censorship? - Sujin Park

I think social system is first important thing in the countries. There is right to reject by the countries if there are a lots of effects by Wikipedia. But there is no country without social system. Some issues in the world is so sensitive in some countries. So people in those countries act so sensitively of those issues. I think that's why some governments block Wikipedia. But also Wikipedia have free right to reject censorship of government. So They follow their rules if Wikipedia want to provide their site in some blocked countries.

Summary  Jimmy Wales  told like that "Give freely the sum of the world’s knowledge to every single person on the planet in the language of their choice, under a free license, so that they can modify, adapt, reuse, or redistribute it." I think This is most important fact of Wikipedia. I haven't actually known yet about the main idea of Wikipedia. But this article told me what is it. Interesting Point They said internet system of world is not perfectly pair right now. They know about this matter and think how to solve this problem. But this is not simple problem. So they just try again and again to make world better to access world wide web. I hope it will be succeed. Also they said mutual respect is also important thing. I think this is important matter too. Discussion point Without all intelligence of the world, how could we say collective intelligence is perfect? So I think we should try this world make better to gather the intelligence.

  1. Summary    The previous reference books before Wikipedia distanced from institutions, people, and discussions. But Wikipedia is not. It is not just an online multilingual encyclopedia, it is a community and encyclopedia. Wikipedia always plays a role in demonstrating the community's successive conversations. Most importantly, these conversations reveal the collective culture - " good luck ". So, how do we understand this culture?   Wikipedia's culture can be traced to a collaborative culture, which is based on three central policies. " Neutral Point Of View (NPOV.), " " No Original Research, " and " Verifiability. " A neutral perspective may initially seem to be incompatible with neutral knowledge. The two different policies " No Original Research " and " Verifiability. " mean that " all Wikipedia materials must be based on reliable and open-source sources. "  The projects discussed in thi

This article explains the process and motto of Wikipedia. Unlike previous encyclopedias, Wikipedia aims to collect all human knowledge and make it freely editable and redistributable to everyone. In fact, anyone who can access Wikipedia through the Internet can easily edit and get information. Wikipedia is said to be developed through accumulation of knowledge through the collective intelligence of people. This is an open source encyclopedia of Wikipedia's motto.   Interestingly, Wikipedia started with a challenging motto of "Anyone can Edit Encyclopedia", but the actual number of edits is only 2.5% of logged in users. This means that there are many people who get information from Wikipedia rather than those who edit Wikipedia. In order to overcome this, it seems that the mature attitude of Wikipedia users is necessary.   Wikipedia is a truly innovative site. But there is something to worry about. If you think Wikipedia has incorrect information. It would

1. Summary Wikipedia is both a community and an encyclopedia on the cyber space. Wikipedia is said to be a cooperative community based on 'good faith'. On this basis Wikipedia shares “the sum of all knowledge”. Although there were failures before the Wikipedia project, Wikipedia has been successful in its free, open-source encyclopedia that has long been studied in terms of accessibility, cost and cooperation. 2. Interesting Point In other words, Wikipedia has a meaning for collecting information in one place based on good faith. I found that one interesting. It is what happens in cyberspace. We naturally use cyber space, but it is amazing to know that it is the encyclopedia of cyber space, which is an infinite world. The functional aspects of cyber space were also interesting. Information can be obtained very easily from external links or footnotes(said typical function of wiki) on the definitions and heated discussions we would like to know. It is just amazing that

No one has Rights to censor Wikipedia. The purpose of Wikipedia is to spread information to everyone. Information includes everything so does encyclopedia. Once difference between encyclopedia and Wikipedia is a writer. Everyone in the world can be the writer in Wikipedia but not all of them has expertise . The question starts from now on. Does the information on Wikipedia is correct? How can we find errors in Wikipedia if Wikipedia has wrong information? It is sure that we don’t need to censor Wikipedia even if Wikipedia has wrong information? These are very difficult questions, but I decided my answer. I will say No. Even though not all of the Wikipedia writers are experts there is a ‘feedback’ in Wikipedia. Feedback is a special characteristic of Wikipedia. Feedback in Wikipedia is fast cause people search Wikipedia every time and also when we edit on Wikipedia we need a source; where did I get this information. If I didn’t write the sources someone would delete.

1.Summary First in this Reagle's article, there were lots of information of Wikipedia. And some of them are related to our class discussion questions. In this article, there is advantage and meaning of discussion in Wikipedia. Also this article tell us about collectiveness of Wikipedia and saying Wikipedia is a big community. And from reading this article, I could understand Wikipedia policy. Why did Wikipedia sets those policy and rules. for example, this article talks about universality of Wikipedia and why this universality is important. These information was what we learned in this course. 2.Interesting point I am really interested in Wikipedia's discussion section and universality. As written in article, in discussion section there could be a sort of concord. Because we experienced different culture, everyone's value is different. From that difference there could be gap in using the words and opinions. In discussion section, by talking together we could narrow that

Summary I could learn the history, culture, and events of Wikipedia from this text. With the development of computer technology, it seems Wikipedia is the site that can store the knowledge of the world. The problem of document attack, the side effect of development, was the thing I was curious about last week. Should Wikipedia record everything without blocking anything? Interesting point Wikipedia has grown rapidly with the development of computer technology. It is so old and huge. You may have learned a great deal from the history of earlier humans, but it is very interesting that the standards of right, wrong, and valued judgements on documents are still ambiguous. Of course, it can be difficult to judge because it is very subjective. But I think it is very interesting that we haven't decided yet on Wikipedia, where the world's intelligence gathers.

1. Summary Wikipedia is not simply an online multi-lingual encyclopedia. Unlike books in the library, Wikipedia is a community-based encyclopedia. The wiki stands for "super fast" in the Hawaiian language. This means that it is easy to edit. This reading focuses on the collaborative culture of Wikipedia. A community-based encyclopedia like Wikipedia should have a " good faith collaborative culture." Attempts to increase access to information through collaboration are needed. It should be a place where every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge . Wikipedia is interested in "the sum of all knowledge". Jimmy Wales, co-founder of Wikipedia and founding member of Nupedia, means that an encyclopedia like Wikipedia would be a force to transform the world.   Also, according to Wales, Wikipedia follows three policies: “Neutral Point of View,” “No Original Research,” and “Verifiability”.

2012047790 박종훈 Wikipedia has limits of unrealized vision, failed projects, and false predictions. Nevertheless, it is undeniable that the Web is one of the most desirable alternatives to realize the characteristics of an encyclopedia. In this Web-based book, I learned a lot about wikis and its background, but the most likely thing to come to me is the conclusion. It may not be best if the encyclopedia's platform is turned into a Web. But I could not help agreeing more than once that it is one of the most desirable ways at the moment. The cause is decentralization. The vast knowledge of the world is beyond the control of one person. He doesn't know everything. Also, a person can never achieve it on their own strength. If you take it a little broader, it is a sign that a lot of people's knowledge and many people's efforts are needed. Therefore, it takes a lot of people's effort and time to find a partial solution to make it possible on the Web. In my opi

This article introduces Godwin's law, referring to the anecdote of blocking the account of the white supremacist on Wikipedia. Godwin's Law states that online discussions become more of a personal attack as they progress, while Wikipedia does not. In other words, Godwin's law dictates that while the tendency to think worst is recognized, Wikipedia's culture encourages contributors to treat and think well about others.

In chapter 1, Joseph Michael Reagle Jr. explains that Wikipedia is not only an encyclopedia but also a community and new contents in Wikipedia depend on conversations of this community. In fact, Wikipedia is based on a good faith collaborative culture. If some articles are criticized because of thorny subjects like Nazism and create a debate between users, it is important to have a cordial and respectful discussion to resolve these kinds of issues. This Website is powerful because everybody can participate by creating and adding freely what they want, but users have to respect three rules: neutral point of view, no original research and verifiability. The chapter 2 deals with the pursuit of the universal encyclopedia, and the authors makes the connection between some historical projects of encyclopedia and Wikipedia.

Discuss Reagle's Chapters 1-2 1. Summary     Wikipedia's heritage can be found in a project from the early 20th century (Paul Otto's Universal Repertory and H. G. Wells' proposal for a World Brain). This project is designed to increase accessibility to information and to gather global intelligence. But from the beginning, this has not led to Wikipedia. Prior to Wikipedia, there was Intepedia, Nupedia, which took an online encyclopedia mode. Nupedia, the predecessor of Wikipedia, has had difficulty obtaining volunteer commitments for complex editing. Wikipedia is designed to complement and solve the problem. "Wiki Wiki" stands for "super fast" in the Hawaiian language. As its name suggests, Wikipedia can easily and quickly edit web pages. While Nupedia was crashing, Wikipedia remained healthy.     Wikipedia has three core policies: 'Neutral Point of View', 'No Original Research' and 'Verifiability.' NPOV reduces confl

Do you think Wikipedia is right to reject censorship? Information sociology 2015048986 천병헌    Wikipedia is a space where various people participate. Not only Wikipedia, but also the space of Amazon, Daum, Naver and so on are also participated by various people. I think censorship is especially needed in spaces where information can be edited and handled. The spreading power and speed of information are faster than expected. People see a stimulating article or information and have a momentary awareness of it.  And it takes a lot of time and effort to change that perception. Therefore, Wikipedia should accept censorship from time to time. For example, we should be careful when writing authentic or very personal stories such as entertainers. It should also be cautious about national sensitive topics.

Information Sociology 2012047886 유동준 1. Summary There is a particular vision of access and openness at Wikipedia, as seen in its slogan describing itself as the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit. This vision, the encyclopedia, and its community and culture are introduced in the sections that follow. The Wikimedia Foundation, the nonprofit organization under which Wikipedia and its related projects operate, asks the reader to “Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. this vision exceeds the production of information. This means that reference work compilers would be joined by world scholars and international technocrats to produce a resource that every student might easily access, in a personal, inexpensive, and portable format. Consequently, the inspiration for a free and open source encyclopedia might be thought of as the most recent stage of a long-running pursuit.   2.

If the encyclopedia can be compared to a library, Wikipedia could be compared to the ancient Greek colonist or place of discussion, “the salon”. This is because Wikipedia's information is always revised and updated. Wikipedia has a vision for creating a world where all humans are free to share all their knowledge. The Wikipedia spirit can be traced back to the idea of the " brain of the world. " The man named Wells believed that everyone should have access to efficiently stored knowledge.

Wikipedia is a space where anyone can write freely. With no restriction, you can easily receive knowledge you want to share or information from all over the world. For these reasons, I will use Wikipedia a lot. As a result, there could be a lot of inaccurate information and therefore receive false information. For this reason, I think it is necessary to censor it. However, as other people make adjustments, the information will be accurate. The fact that censorship gives Wikipedia the freedom to write is a difference and a great attraction from other encyclopedia, but these benefits will disappear. So I think it is right to refuse to censor.

In the chapter 1, it is very important to know that Wikipedia is both a community and an encyclopedia. Moreover, Wikipedia is based on a good faith collaborative culture. So, if there are some controversial articles (example: Nazism), and if there are disagreements among Wikipedia users, you need to talk about it in a cordial manner. It is necessary to respect others Wikipedia users and to abide to the norm of Wikiquette. “Wiki wiki” means super-fast in Hawaiian language. Anyone can edit on Wikipedia, but there is the “Holy trinity” of Wikipedia to respect: neutral point of view, no original research and verifiability.

Of course Wikipedia accepts reliable, objective sources, but it could be manipulated by national dimension. Some issues like territorial waters, It could become problem that mention own word itself.
