W9. Discuss Reagle’s chapters 3-4 - Seron Kim

 Chapter 3 describes Collaborative Culture. Collaborative culture is literally a culture where many people face their heads together and collaborate. It is a culture of collective intellect. In the Collaborative Culture, it is important to see it from the standpoint of neutrality. Chapter 4 describes Open Content Communities. This means freely sharing and using information through the open source community.
 
 A good example of Collaborative Culture and Open Content Communities in Chapter 3-4 is Wikipedia. Wikipedia is easily accessible to anyone in the world, and anyone can edit it anywhere, anytime. If anything that is shifted to one side of Wikipedia's information, it becomes neutral and perfect through the hands of many people. And the information that is created can be freely shared and used by everyone.
 
 However, because Wikipedia is based on the Internet, problems due to anonymity and inaccuracies may arise. A small number of Internet users are hiding behind this anonymity and are not happy with their affection or behave inappropriately. It can also deliberately edit inaccurate information and share this information to spread false information. We need to acknowledge that these problems can happen and think about solutions.

    I also thought similar to you.
    This is the case when a Wikipedia user intentionally edits the wrong fact.
    I think users who accept information about this part should be cautious. For example, it is a way of confirming sources and quotations. What do you think?

    The spread of false information is a very serious problem. To do this, Wikipedia provides rules for its users, but its shortcomings arise from people who repeat bad behavior without following rules. In order to solve this problem : Wikipedia users are more actively to act. The truth of the information should be determined and corrected actively. It must be achieved by the power of collective intelligence.

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...
