W6. How important is it to be civil online on the Internet? - Sujin Park

Summary

In Wikipedia, there is so many people who want to get some information or make a new one or etc. There is no border, country, law, skin color. There is only some rule to make Wikipedia efficient.  All of humans in Wikipedia interact by doing edit, talk, suggest. So it is one of collaboration.

Interesting Point

So I think the most important thing in Wikipedia is being civil. Wikipedia is one world in internet. We should follow rules, manners, cultures because you are not alone. 
Our offline world is not perfect. Also Wikipedia is. So we should make Wikipedia clean and civilize to keep this world.

Discussion point
So do you think Wikipedia have some administrator to keep the world? I think they are. But maybe someone doesn't.

    Wikipedia is an incomplete encyclopedia. In addition to Wikipedia, there is no perfect page online. There is only one good page with a lot of feedback. Citizens are needed for this feedback. And the role of citizens is very important. Citizens can gather in an online space to demonstrate collective intelligence and manage information. If they do not function properly, today's Wikipedia will be just a notepad.

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...
