W14 blog topic: What did I learn in this course? - MinSeung Sung 2016062706

  I had never used English Wikipedia before this class. Only a few Korean Wikipedia has been seen as search results. Because the Korean community was not as active as the English Wikipedia. And, I take a course in Collective Intelligence.
In this class, I got to know English Wikipedia for the first time. When I first came across English Wikipedia, it was a new internet world.

  Unlike Wikipedia in Korea, because it was an active community. All In English Wikipedia, biology, politics, environment, and so on are all in very diverse fields. There is diverse information and all are available and trustful. This is a true encyclopedia. The most amazing thing was that it wasn't just about the users. It's part of the debate at first. When I came across English Wikipedia, we had no idea what to do with the reliability of information.
  There was an event but these discussions changed my mind about it.
There are many other ways to edit articles and create new content on Wikipedia.
These experiences are my own personal use of Wikipedia.
And while reading the various reading materials, I learned about the history of Wikipedia. It's the wiki that learned these histories.
It's not just a community, but a positive result of collective intelligence.

  While join and learn the community of Wikipedia during the semester and my knowledge. It gave an opportunity to widen my knowledge. Even if it is not a class I want to remain a user of Wikipedia.

    You're thinking the same way. It was a lot of class to learn. Learning Wikipedia is innovation. It's going to be the most useful and there will be a lot of slats in the future. Let's use the wiki a lot in the future.

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?’.
