W2. My first edits -Sun bo Sim


1. Summary
I did my first editing last semester. The article what I made is “Honjok”. This concept is lifestyle term for people who willingly do activities alone. The reason why I wanted to make an article about this concept was because I thought it was the trend in my country last year. And I thought it could be used all over the world. There are no articles which describe this concept in Korea Wikipedia and English Wikipedia, so I decided to edit in both places. After forming the overall framework for this article, I tried to find the press release that matched it. The professor said that quoting the press release was the way to increase the reliability, so I tried to find the maximum amount.

2. interesting point
Interesting point are cause of this concept which is being popular. There were various causes, but I thought there were two important ones to consider. The first is Ennui in human relations. It means people who live in Korea don’t feel the need for new relationship so They try to be alone. The associated survey also showed that a growing number of people are not feeling the need for relationships. I think that This survey shows a stark atmosphere in society, and I felt sorry for it. Simply put, people are giving up their relationships to avoid stress. The second is effect of media. Many TV programs for honjok started to be created. It shows celebrities who live alone. It makes perception of the honjok in a positive way.

3. Discussion point.
There is no image to explain this concept in this article. I hope to find an image to symbolize this concept. And it is very lacking to describe future prosepects. The article is full of positive prospects. I think it is necessary to discuss what negative prospects are.

    I think the content of Wikipedia you wrote is very good. However, since the content is a language derived from Korea, it seems that Wikipedia is not fully understood yet. I think that your problem will be solved when Wikipedia becomes more popular and used in Korea.

      Thank you for your comment. As you said, this is difficult to understand when foreigners first look. It would be nice to add a word that is easy to understand.

    I think you‘re content is very good. Recently, there has been a growing number of ’Honjok’ in South Korea, and more and more services are being provided for them. I think it is definitely a culture that can be developed not only in Korea but also in other countries. I hope you can work hard and let many people know about it.

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...
