W4 blog topic : discuss Reagle’s chapter 1-2 - JongHoon Park

Wikipedia has limits of unrealized vision, failed projects, and false predictions. Nevertheless, it is undeniable that the Web is one of the most desirable alternatives to realize the characteristics of an encyclopedia. In this Web-based book, I learned a lot about wikis and its background, but the most likely thing to come to me is the conclusion.

It may not be best if the encyclopedia's platform is turned into a Web. But I could not help agreeing more than once that it is one of the most desirable ways at the moment. The cause is decentralization. The vast knowledge of the world is beyond the control of one person. He doesn't know everything. Also, a person can never achieve it on their own strength. If you take it a little broader, it is a sign that a lot of people's knowledge and many people's efforts are needed. Therefore, it takes a lot of people's effort and time to find a partial solution to make it possible on the Web.

In my opinion, I would like to put a certain amount of money on Wikipedia and have a contest to complete the acute Atticles. Many people don't think too much about how professional or reliable Wikipedia's writing is. Rather, there are an absolute majority of users who simply seek information on the topic. Therefore, Wikipedia needs to try to improve its credibility and professionalism. So my proposal is a contest. Many people complete the aticles, topics they write with interest in, and require that users who contribute to many areas be motivated by paying them a certain amount of money.

Secondly, as I am a Korean, wikis needs to fix the Korean platform. As I mentioned before, as a Korean, wikis uncomfortable. The English version is not my first language anyway, but the Korean version is definitely uncomfortable. Many symbols, language translations, and editing tools are not friendly to Koreans. So make sure to modify these parts.

Finally, it is good to ensure that the copyright on pictures or materials is uploaded only on the photos that are available to everyone, but there are too few violations of copyright laws in wikis pictures. We should also come up with measures to deal with this issue. The year 2018 is a year when thousands of pictures can be found in just one search term, but it seems too few photos can be found on Wikipedia, and too few can be referenced. What is your view?

    I read your article well. I agree with you. When it comes to writing and attaching pictures, Wikipedia's own photos are both too small and too bad to be true. It is also inconvenient to upload photos directly. I wonder if it is okay to upload pictures of Google or free photo sites.

W5. Can we trust Wikipedia? - Seron Kim

Wikipedia is a large site used by people all over the world. People get information through Wikipedia and edit article directly when needed. Through the action of collective intelligence, Wikipedia is becoming more and more developed and growing. Can we trust Wikipedia? I think "We can trust Wikipedia but we should not trust it unconditionally.“   Obviously Wikipedia is reliable. Wikipedia itself has an implicit framework for editing, and people follow it and use it. It is also possible to increase the trust of the article by leaving a source for the information, and to delete the edited information through a predetermined process. So there will be more and more reliable information in Wikipedia.   But you should not trust Wikipedia unconditionally. Because there may be misinformation in Wikipedia. Of course, there is a high possibility that it will be fixed through the deletion function of Wikipedia and the collective intelligence of people. But it will be a ...

W1. What do I know about Wikipedia and what do I want to learn about it? - Yong il, Seon.

We learned another idea, we want an easy explanation.          Many people used Wikipedia. Why people visited Wikipedia? I have much thought about the answer to this question. Everyone will be editor in Wikipedia. So, several people’s opinions can be confirmed on one issue. It is also an important characteristic of democracy. Democracy is the recognition of the other’s ideas. And already in France, there were ‘Tolerance’. It means that As I am right in my opinion, and so you are right in your opinion. I think Wikipedia is making ‘Tolerance idea’ work very well. So, you can not force your own ideas on Wikipedia. Depending on the situation, users may be students, teachers, or even completely different third parties. From these points of view, Wikipedia is the modern version of Greece’s Agora.            And it is not over. Always people want an easy expanation, the more complex the case. Wikipedia has a structured form...

W2. My first edits. Describe why you made them. - Seron Kim

I rarely had access to Wikipedia before this class. Because there is a service called 'Knowledge in' operated by Naver in Korea. I've been used to the 'Knowledge in' for a long time, so I've always used it if there's something I don't know. However, I got to know Wikipedia in this class. Wikipedia has a much larger volume of data than I thought, and it is being used by people all over the world. Also, anyone could edit information. I want to search and edit my favorite soccer information. So I decided to do the editing on my idols, Ko Jong-soo and Nadson.   What was interesting about editing was that although the Korean Wikipedia was detailed by the players who played in the Korean league, the English Wikipedia had little or no information. So I want to edit more. Because I want to add their information to English Wikipedia to let people around the world know.   Different countries have Wikipedia sites and the amount and quality of informati...
