W14. What did I learn in this course? / posted by Sojeong Yeon

    

   I learned about how to use Wikipedia and how to write an Wikipedia article in last course. I knew the Wikipedia which is an encyclopedia before, but I began to use Wikipedia and edit in its site in earnest from last year. In this course, I could knew and learned deeply Wikipedia as the place of collective intelligence. I learned the history of Wikipedia, the value of its encyclopedia, the process of collective intelligence, the free culture of it etc. Above of all things, I got to know about the concept of copyright and the Creative Commons licences(CCL). Last semester, I first knew Wiki commons and the way to upload and use pictures in it. But I tried using other sites which follow the CCL. In last class, we talked about how creative commons is used in Korean and internationally and what some business models are using it. I searched many sites related to creative commons than I thought.
   Among them, 'Shared yard' is a Korean site in which everyone can use freely images and medias. People create a new common work and share and remake them for new creation. It is easy to use its site and participate in the process. In this site, you can search the works by category - documentation, Icon, font design, video, background music, industrial design, wallpapers sources. You can also filter the sources by data properties, and by conditions - full, free use of copyrighted works, conditional use of copyrighted works. There are many images and works so I will use them. Also I got to know other examples that NAVER and Baemin(www.woowahan.com) make a new front and distribute them freely. I think I will use those site a lot.

    I could know lots of other collective intelligence sites either. But from reading your article, I could know lots of other collective intelligence sites that exist in Korea. I determined to use those sites and participate in collective intelligence in Korea sites too.

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...
