W15. What is the future of Wikipedia? Will it exist in 20years? 50? 100? - Seron Kim

 Today, technology continues to evolve, and the world changes day by day. The world of the Internet is the same. Many sites will grow, disappear and change depending on the number of users. Will Wikipedia be affected by this? What will happen to the future of Wikipedia? I think Wikipedia will exist for 20, 50, and 100 years without disappearing.
 
 As I mentioned in the previous article, Wikipedia is one of the large-scale sites used by various people around the world. People get the information they need through Wikipedia and share it with others. And everybody who uses Wikipedia gets the right to edit after only a few steps. As a result, Wikipedia users can edit and edit information in Wikipedia anywhere, anytime, and create new articles without content. Unlike traditional encyclopedias, this is a very unique and innovative strategy.
 
 Through this feature, Wikipedia has been developed to the present through the efforts and contributions of many people. As a result, Wikipedia has gathered a variety of information and big data. People will continue to update and modify their information, and will continue to use Wikipedia. If Wikipedia also operates its site well with its own features and big data, it will surely not disappear after 20, 50, 100 years. In order to be able to do that, I think that Wikipedia and its users need to consider and cooperate with each other.

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...
