W2. My first edits. Describe why you made them , Cho jiwon

1.Summary
 Since I did not know well about Wikipedia before, it was difficult to set a topic for the first time. It was difficult or confusing to write Wikipedia according to the topic. That's why I started to look at the subject from around me. 
 My first wiki theme so selected  was "Hell Joseon". "Hell Joseon" is a satirical word about the difficult situation in Korea. The reason for choosing "Hell Joseon" was because many peers were sympathetic subjects. I also think that it is difficult to prepare for employment and to study in college. So I became more sympathetic to the word "Hell Joseon" so chose this theme. 

2.Interesting point
 What I was interested in in Wikipedia was more accuracy than I thought. When I searched for information, I saw only the excerpts from experts and official sites. That's why I was not convinced of the widespread gathering of Wikipedia data. 
 However, when I wrote Wikipedia directly, I realized that Wikipedia provided a high level of accuracy. Wikipedia should have all the material to support its content. For example, "Korea is close to hell and hopeless society." It also means "a country that is so bad." It was used mainly within the Internet community sites, but was later used by the media as well " is the content of my Wikipedia "Hell Joseon". To support this content I attached a link to related articles.  I have cited numerous other sources too. Because of this process, I learned how high-quality data Wikipedia provides.

3.Discussion point
 When I wrote Wikipedia, there were quite a few cases to be edited. In that case, there is a problem that the same mistakes can be repeated because no clear reason is provided. What is the way to overcome this problem?

    That's a very good question. I have suggested a similar point to yours.
    I think a variety of objective data is necessary. And exclude the writer's subjective opinions.
    You should also not post promotional messages. That is because Wikipedia could be used to promote information.

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...
