W2. My first edits. Describe why you made them.

Introduction

  I first used Wikipedia for reference. I have added information to Wikipedia since my last class of Globalization and sociology. Frankly it was very difficult to add information. Wikipedia should post objective data. Because it has the form of an encyclopedia. So I used information such as news articles and interviews. So I would like to edit or modify Wikipedia's information.

1. Summary

  My big theme on Wikipedia this time is about promoting Korea. Then add the missing information. I will also edit more or create a new page. First, I added information about the area where I live (Daejeon). Specifically, they examined the mountain in Daejeon. And I added deficient information to the tourism category. As an objective data, I referred to recent news articles and interviews. In addition to tourist attractions in Daejeon, I also investigated famous Korean characters.
I especially like playing StarCraft games, so I added information about professional gamers. I have compiled information such as these award winning career. Next, I found out about soccer player because I love soccer. I researched information on Korean soccer players in the EPL. I also investigated the people who were a broadcaster and once a famous soccer player. In addition, I have revised the information of famous K-pop singers in Korea. I have compiled their profiles, their awards, their activities, etc. So, I hope people around the world who use Wikipedia can read the information that informs Korea and search Korea at least once.

2. Interesting Points

  Wikipedia can speak many different languages. There are also Korean, English, Wikipedia, and French Wikipedia. It was interesting to know that many people took part in one place, although they were all in a different language. Thankfully, there was more information about Korea than I thought. The area was well organized as well as the people. I could see many people involved in modifying information. There was a perfect page from life to the award. As an objective example, many editors participated when I investigated about KaKao bank last year. Not only I but also the managers added, organized, and deleted information. So a great bank page was created. But I found some problems.
  First, there was a variety of information but no objective information. There were some rather subjective opinions. Many people can receive false information as if it were true. So I have corrected these errors. I looked for objective links and modified them myself.
  Second, There was information in the Korean Wikipedia, but there was no information in the English Wikipedia. In addition, there was no information in translation. So I took turns modifying Wikipedia. Of course, many people may not know if they are involved. It is because I can not know about the culture of the country. Complementing these points would be a great information-sharing space.
  Lastly, the manager deletes the article because it sounds like a promotional note. We may add information, but the manager will erase it all. I would like the manager to let me know what changes to make before deleting it.


3. Discussion point

  There is a lot of information in Wikipedia. How can we inform many people who edit Wikipedia about Korea?

  And people refer to Wikipedia for information. So how can we share a link to Wikipedia so that many people can edit and browse?

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...
