W4. Discuss Reagle's Chapters 1-2 Yong il Seon

1. Summary
I pointed this sentence. Show me an admin who has never been called a nazi and I’ll show you an admin who is not doing their job. — J.S.’s Second Law.
 
if you haven’t been called a Nazi, you simply haven’t been active enough on Wikipedia. No one argues that Wikipedia will bring about world peace, I do argue goodwill is necessary to its production and an occasional consequence of participation. The open content encyclopedia” and was available under the GNU Free Documentation License. Consequently, the inspiration for a free and open source encyclopedia — in terms of access, cost, and collaboration — might be thought of as the most recent stage of a long-running pursuit.
 
Wikipedia is an online wiki-based encyclopedia. “Wiki wiki” means “super fast” in the Hawaiian language, and Ward Cunningham chose the name for his collaborative WikiWikiWeb software in 1995 to indicate the ease with which one could edit pages. Consequently, if a page can be read, it can be edited in any browser.
 
Recent research suggests that Wikipedia’s topical coverage of general knowledge and technical issues is quite good, but it has blind spots in other specialist areas.
 
Given Wikipedia’s reputation as the encyclopedia “anyone can edit,” an early research question was who did most of the work: the few who contribute a lot.
 
2. Interesting Point
Calling the page manager Nazi is very progressive. Ordinary people never want to stand up against the manager's power. The revolution takes place when you are suspicious of the obvious. The revolution takes place when you are suspicious of the obvious.
 
3. Discussion Point
Wikipedia looks like a South Korean media company. It is ‘Oh My News’. The media's motto is 'All the people are journalists'. Simply put, everyone acts as a citizen reporter. Although the expertise may be poor, people respect the role of citizen journalists as they can not be placed at all accident scenes. According to Oh My News, Wikipedia's liberalization of its editorial rights is a great part.

    I agree that Wikipedia is similar to Korean media company, 'Oh My News'. Both are less professional, but people's efforts are put together to make an article.

    I think journalists make citizen journalists; writers in Wikipedia. cause when we write down some information on Wikipedia, Wiki always requires the sources; book, news articles etc...
    So when a journalist write an essay with their expertise, citizens write down the information on wiki and leave the source that the journalist wrote down.

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.

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...
