W4. Discuss Reagle's Chapters 1-2 - Jongchan kim

1. Summary
 
In this chapter, I read about the history of Wikipedia and its introduction. It was an important read to see how Wikipedia was created, what crises it faced, and how it evolved. Wikipedia's purpose is to gather knowledge from all over the world to create an encyclopedia that everyone can participate in. The purpose of Wikipedia's original nupedia was a dictionary created by experts. Wikipedia was created early on in its creation under the criticism of the number nupedia. There are still a number of problems at the moment. But beyond these issues, Wikipedia has come to understand each other across the region.
 
2. Interesting point
 
Wikipedia is a media that, like traditional webpages, is not only available to a handful of people, but is easily accessible to many people. The two men who created these media were Charles and Sanger, who had sufficient education and knowledge about the Web media and created Wikipedia using them. They were able to successfully produce Wikipedia because they knew better than anyone else about its lack of convenience and inclusion in the Internet. What was interesting to me was that great results came from the desire of highly educated intellectuals to share their abilities for the general public. I think their achievements are great in a world of individualism.
 
3. discussion point
Wikipedia's goal is to create a collection of all the knowledge in the world, and to create a medium that many people can participate in. The platform that the intellectuals created for many people has contributed greatly to the world and has become a great product. I think Wikipedia's birth is a modern version of Nobles oblige. What do you think the birth of Wikipedia means? I'd like to hear your opinion.

    I read your article well. I think Wikipedia's birth is an innovation in the information age. I think it's the only place where you can see the amount of information and new information in a moment that no encyclopedia can match.

    I think Wikipedia is the online space that best shows the horizontal features of democracy. Even if it is not professional, anyone can write enough. In addition, various people around the world gather to form a knowledge. Only one person is not an administrator, but various people become managers. Many people make Wikipedia a forum. Interactive encyclopedias(Wikipedia), rather than unilateral encyclopedias, are the greatest strengths of today.

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...
