W10. What would make writing on Wikipedia easier for me?

There is an inconvenience that I did not know when I was only using Wikipedia without editing. It is a part of 'photography' that I asked a while ago.

Wikipedia uploads a photo after uploading it to a wiki commons, searching for a URL or keyword, and then uploading it. It is different from other site formats. Of course, I think it is because of copyright problems, Wikipedia seems to have borrowed this way. But the process is cumbersome. If Wikipedia want more users to participate in editing, it need to streamline them.
Also, One of the ways to increase readability is to move the location of the photo, which is not easy for Wikipedia. I asked professor last time. The location of the picture was changed by moving the code text of the picture to another place. If it is possible to change the position of the picture with visual editing, it will be more convenient editing.

    I agree with your article. I also had a lot of trouble trying to edit and add photos to Wikipedia. If I do not have enough photos and want to get from another site without permission, I will not be able to bring my own because of a copyright problem. Of course, I respect the copyright law, but I also think that I wish to alleviate the strict system.

    Visual editing is a convenient way for Wikipedia users. However, in the end, you need to know the source code to move the picture code text and edit it the way I originally wanted to. Yet Wikipedia is not enough to say it has addressed the convenience of its users.

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...

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...

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?’.
