W12: Discuss Reagle’s chapter 6 - Sun Bo Sim

1. Summary
In this chapter, the author describes the founder's leadership in the Wikipedia community. The first part of the chapter, Bardar's second law, briefly describes how the author is demonstrating leadership in Wikipedia. “When a building is on fire, a leader will not survey everyone to see what the consensus is about a response. It is time for action.” This means that when an emergency or an important problem occurs, the coercive intervention of the founder is inevitable.
 Next, the author shows how leadership is actually affecting Wikipedia. The writer describes the actions of Wales as "the authoritarian leadership", referring to the New Nazi incident in the act of Wikipedia, the founder of Wikipedia, as a last resort to act on fraudulent activities. It also emphasizes the importance of leadership by showing that these behaviors can affect the culture of the Wikipedia community.
 The last shows the actions of Wikipedia's founders, shows their qualifications as a leader in Wales, and tells the direction of desirable leadership. I think we need to think about qualifications as a top Welsh leader who has made a small contribution to the community of contribution-centered Wikipedia.

2. Interesting Point
The interesting part is about intervention in leadership. In particular, there was an interesting fact in Jimmy Wales' past. In the past, wales, who discovered that his personal content was posted on Wikipedia in an article about himself, there was a case where he deleted the content in a hurry. I thought it was an abuse of leadership and it was interesting.

3. Discussion Point

I think the part to discuss follows the above. I think that it may be appropriate for pre-screening if leadership is not exercised. Pre-censorship seems to suppress the freedom of expression and I think that the development of Wikipedia can be prevented. What do you think about the criteria in the scope of leadership?

    I read your article well. A leader must think and act more important and cautiously about his or her authority and responsibility. It is necessary to solve the problem as much as possible in a harmonious and balanced manner through continuous discussion with many people, not according to his or her own intention.

    In most cases, it can be solved through discussion. But I think we should set a minimum range because there are times when we have to use authority.

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...
