W2. My new edits - Park ji-sung Road. {2012047790 Park Jong-Hoon(박종훈)}




1.summarize and link

I created a new article on Wikipedia called Park Ji-Sung Road. It is a road located in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do, and it was made to commemorate Park's achievements in the World Cup in 2005. Park Ji-Sung is one of the global sports stars born in Suwon. I edited about the road named Park Ji-Sung and also briefly described Park Ji-Sung Football Center, which is on the way to the building.

2.interesting items learned

Park Ji-sung is a world class sports star born in Suwon. And I was born in Suwon too. And I lived in the town where Park Ji-sung Road is located. From 12 to 20 years old. Our house was even right next to the Park Ji-sung Road. I was there at the opening ceremony. Maybe I was 18years old. The road was very familiar to me and I used to go to school when I was a freshman. Many Suwon citizens knew the way, but most others did not. Because Wikipedia did not contain this content in both English and Korean. It is meaningful that a place that is very familiar to me and meaningful is shared with people around the world. And it was very interesting that the first time began with me.

3.discussion point

 Heading and subheading and block quote and preformatted
I think it's a way to split Wikipedia, but I don't know when and how to use each feature, and whether to use it at will. It may be a new one, but I would appreciate it if the professor and other classmates could explain it easily or discuss your opinions freely.

    Hello! I definitely see your point with the feeling of contributing something original - even something that is maybe knowledge that only you or very few people possess. Perhaps this is where it gets risky, if you don't find enough sources for the statements you put in the article, it may be removed, such as the first paragraph on the article. I saw you used the work "90-pyeong forest". What does that mean? :D

      In my guess, "90-pyeong forest " means a forest about 297.5 square meters. In Korea, the area is often expressed in units of ' pyeong, ' which is about 3.3 square meters per pyeong.

      That’s right. The 90-pyeong square is 297 square meters. As it is an excerpt from a Korean article, it was misspelled in Korean. Now I've fixed it!

    I also felt it was difficult to provide references when editing Wikipedia. Given Wikipedia's nature, I do not think it is very important to improve the accuracy of its sources, which I have not mastered. It would be nice to be provided with a brief guide.

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...
