1. Summary and my opinion

 Wikipedia has become one of the most popular websites in the world today, although it was not likely to be available 10 years ago. At its core, Wikipedia is the " collaborative community " that is free and willing to ask the world for continued understanding. Wikipedia is a community, but one is actually made by doing it, or by collaborating. Such cooperation can occur in a culture or set of norms. It is guided by the principles of accepting and fighting. The project is one generation away from the goal : a world where all humans can freely share the sum of all their knowledge. But it is the first time in 10 generations that such a move seems possible to anyone. And Lawrence  emphasizes the importance of Ethnography over other studies. Honestly, I didn't know that Wikipedia has become one of the most popular websites in the world. Because I have not heard much of Wikipedia and I have not used it. Wikipedia in Korea is small and not many Articles, as you learned in class. So I will learn a lot and realize it while doing several projects in class.


 2. Intersting Point

 I was interesting Good Faith Collaboration was also free and online. I've never seen a free book or a form that is both online and Web-based. South Korea also has a Web-based book system called the E-Book, but it is mostly made out of what also exists as a paper book. This sequence of examples shows how much they love Wikipedia. I also felt that the days will come when free and online books are the main characters.


3. Discussion Point

 In the text, "Most people wouldn’t think long technical discussions in committees to be very exciting — they usually aren’t — but I was inspired by instances in which the varied skills and personalities of my peers complemented each other. The differences that sometimes irritated me or frustrated progress also, sometimes, yielded an elegant solution that exceeded the sum of our individual efforts. I witnessed something similar at Wikipedia. Most people wouldn’t think the production of an encyclopedia could be very exciting either, but I found Wikipedia to be a compelling site for the study of collaboration and an endearing but unruly character in a longer historical tale." I think some people agree with this, others disagree. For example, I have edited my opinions and ideas as a user in using, editing, and creating Wikipedia. In this situation, it first occurred to me that if it was erased or rejected by someone else's hands, it could be offensive and hard to accept. What would it be like to see you go through this process while doing Edit?

W3. Why do you think people use Wikipedia? Why do others write for it? - Sun bo Sim

 Why do you think people use Wikipedia? Why do others write for it? 1. Summary It is quite natural that the main purpose people use Wikipedia is to get information. So I thought about why people choose Wikipedia for getting information. I think the first reason is the reliability of information in Wikipedia. We have many other sources of getting information. We can search for information scattered on the web through search tools such as Google or Naver. But we do not have the ability to ensure that such data are reliable. However, people prefer Wikipedia because it looks at its slogan " The Free Encyclopedia, " believing it may have the character of an encyclopedia. I also believe that Wikipedia's credibility is enhanced by the fact that its information is constantly being edited through the process of collective intelligence. 2. Interesting Point Most people use Wikipedia to get information. However, some people like to make new articles and give information s...

W5. Can we trust Wikipedia? Yun-Jin Kim

Then I want to ask. Can we trust News? I think Wikipedia is based on sources. Every time we edit on Wikipedia we need the sources. If we don’t put sources, the information we wrote would be deleted.   So I think asking ‘How can we trust Wikipedia’ is kind of similar to ‘How can we trust News’. I know there could be subjective opinion on Wikipedia. If the topic is unpopular, the public opinion doesn’t focus, there’s could be no feedback and that makes Wiki subjective. for this reason, we have to think before we choose the topic in Wiki. If the topic isn’t famous enough and have no sources, we should think this information isn’t sure enough. but if the topic has clear sources we can have a trust on that information. I think it is not important to ask, ‘is the Wikipedia trustful’. It is important to ask ‘is this information on Wikipedia has a exact source?’.

W6. How important is it to be civil online on the Internet?-Ji Young An

These days lots of controversial problems are rising. And because of those problems, people fight on the Internet. But I think most of problems happen because of a lack of civic attitudes. As I highlighted the discussion section of Wikipedia last post, talking together with having civic attitudes is very important point. On the Internet lots of people meet. And this means all of them has different thinking and experiences different cultures. So it is certain that everyone's opinion is different. But I think from this difference, the collective intelligence comes. So I think this difference is very important. But sadly, because of this difference some people fight, just arguing their opinion is one hundred percent right. This attitude is nothing good to our collective intelligence. To develop collective intelligence, people need the civic attitudes. Not just persisting stubbornly they should talk and listen, trying to understand other people. If they talk their opinion or thinking...
