Of course, before Wikipedia, there were projects similar to Wikipedia. There has been a development of collective intelligence based on them, and today there are millions of articles on Wikipedia and they are becoming professional. It is Wikipedia that has helped people around the world work together to form agreements.
2. Interesting Point
One of the most interesting characteristics of Wikipedia is its ' discussion '. Wikipedia does not only reflect the opinions of people on certain topics. Everyone participates and everyone goes through the process of completing. As many people modify the article, emotional and irrational factors will be ruled out, and the article will gradually become more logical and reasonable. If only someone with authority could add information, it would be a Wikipedia article on his or her own. It is nothing more than his diary or essay.
3. Discussion Point
It deletes and regulates unnecessary topics and information to protect the public interest and to not be biased. But there is one question. What are the criteria for deletion? People have different values and standards that are determined based on their respective experiences and beliefs. For instance, I added ' Fan Club ' information to the 'DAY6' However, someone deleted it by saying, " It doesn't fit on Wikipedia. " The information was simply deleted by personal judgement. Many people think it is suitable for Wikipedia, but it can be deleted immediately if someone finds it unsuitable. How should the standards for determining Suitability and inadequacy be established? Even if you set standards, Can people accept that standards over the world?
