Blogging through Wikipedia (2018)

With the development of the Internet and media, the online world has become the most free and complicit medium. People can express their opinions with simple text, and their participation is unlimited. So is Wikipedia. Anyone can participate in making this free encyclopedia. Not by force, but by choice. The future of Wikipedia is positive. It won't disappear. However, the problem that exists in Wikipedia should be supplemented. The first is neutrality. John Milton, an English scholar, talked about the free market concept of thought. In the free market of thought, if truth and falsehood compete, truth will prevail in the end. So is Wikipedia. In Wikipedia, people filter out false information and erase biased words. The results of this process can not be seen in a short time. It takes a very long time. However, in the end, we will find the truth in Wikipedia, the free market. I also believe that this is the realization of democracy in the online world. Secondly, the technical as...

When I usually search something for my homework, Wikipedia always appears on Google. However, the Wikipedia I knew was not ' accurate ' and was not ' professional ' because many people were able to modify it frequently. However, I found that i misunderstood Wikipedia. Wikipedia is a type of collective intelligence, where people must reveal their sources when modifying information and be inspected by others. Instead of checking only one or two people, it is often possible for anyone who receives the information to check the accuracy. In addition, We can not enter personal blogs or information from sources without public trust. By doing so, Wikipedia increase professionalism. I also realized the importance of Wikipedia in terms of communication. I think Wikipedia is an extremely advanced behavior in online communication. In two-way communication, people are creating their own media called the online encyclopedia online. This shows that passive Internet users are evolv...

In conclusion, Wikipedia does not disappear. Communication has changed as media and technology have developed. Only a hundred years ago, media users were passive enough to unilaterally accept information through the media. However, as online and Internet networks improve, two-way communication is possible. In addition, a new type of Internet user has emerged, combining information producers and users. The latest version of media development, Wikipedia, is an online encyclopedia created through cooperation. When asked if Wikipedia will be gone in the future, one can say " no " for sure. However, the appearance of Wikipedia can vary. For the convenience of people using Wikipedia, it can be changed from a design perspective. A key element in recent designs, ux or ., can be introduced to create a more familiar image and expand the users of Wikipedia. In addition, currently difficult technical skills are needed in the process of modifying information. This will make the process ...

1. Summary Now, on the web platform, Wikipedia is open to everyone. People voluntarily participate in Wikipedia and voluntarily censor information, which is an indirect realization of democracy. People also need to compromise and respect each other in their communication to democracy. And Wikipedia shows the form of " authoritative " leadership. However, they continue to work to eliminate conflicts within Wikipedia, and try to coordinate their dialogue and realize democracy in a democratic way. 2. Interesting Point As I mentioned in my last assignment, it is impossible to exclude subjectivity from Wikipedia. There is no way for people to know if the information is objective or reliable even if they look up the information from official sources. Even if the information is objective, it is necessary to determine whether the criteria are applied equally to all. 3. discussion point What are the objective criteria that are equal to all? Also, what are the most basic condit...

1.Summary Consensus is a precondition for Wikipedia. The consensus is " Any group in an organization is the same as the young. " I am not just raising and storing information. People maintain and accumulate information because they have a social consensus on the information. Finding an agreement within Wikipedia is likely to be difficult. Everyone has different perspectives and interpretations, and they have subjective interpretations of the ethics of Wikipedia. So, if you think about the future, consensus among people within Wikipedia is important. Even if it takes a long time, finding common ground is the first priority. 2.Interesting Point In this chapter we talk about the disambiguation of Wikipedia, the link to documents. Break-up in Wikipedia is the process of resolving a conflict in the title of an article that occurs when a subject can be associated with more than one article. However, what is interesting is that it is also very subjective to have this connectio...

There are two main ways to facilitate endiation in Wikipedia. It is an article selection and editing technique. First of all, choose an article to decide which article I will choose and indivigize. The criteria for determining articles are the editor's personal experience and interests. No matter how important an issue is, if I am not interested or do not know well, I am not interested in editing. Also, without or first knowledge of the background, the power to determine whether the information is true or personal opinion is insufficient even if the source of information is found. This means that the topics associated with the user's experience will feel more comfortable. Secondly, editing technology is a prerequisite for Wikipedia users. Because it is a text-based encyclopedia based online, it can be difficult to edit unless you are familiar with structure and usage. Users should also become familiar with devices and improve their practical skills, such as how to type text. W...

1.      Summary Chapter 3 describes the importance of a collaborative culture and chapter 4 describes the Open Content Community. A collaborative culture is a comprehensive set of norms and actions within a community that creates shared values of processes and products. Wikipedia is a good example of this cooperative culture. First, Wikipedia is a free content that anyone can edit. And Wikipedia users should follow and respect the code of conduct. We should participate in this from a neutral perspective, not from an effort to judge right from wrong. Wikipedia is also an open content community that focuses on ' openness. ' It tries to create a universal encyclopedia and increase people's accessibility. Wikipedia shares community norms within it and prohibits arbitrary discrimination. 2.      Interesting Point Wikipedia has its own code of conduct and norms. Some people are negative, highlighting Wikipedia's shortcomings. However, Wiki...

The gender imbalance in Wikipedia is a big issue. Much of the editors are male, and this is reflected in the characteristics of Article. Whereas men's preferred articles are informative and organized, women's preferred articles have only a brief definition or lack information. It also showed that there are far more men's novelists and scientists registered on Wikipedia than women. To solve this problem, Wikipedia is launching a project to support its editor. It is called " Edit-a-thon, " and it is a project that learns how to write and creates new articles on Wikipedia. If you are not familiar with computers, you will have this training because it is difficult to post Wikipedia articles. The Korea Wikimedia Association also hosted the event. It is Pantasia Edit-a-thon in 2015 and Edit-a-thon in 2016. Education for women editors is a way to increase the number of female editors, and it is also an effort for gender equality in Wikipedia. For instance, documents ...

Information accessibility was enhanced with the development of media, and information utilization ranges and types were diversified. When a small number of people generate information and give it unilaterally on TV and radio, People recognize that the agenda being presented by the media is of prime importance and the correct one. On the other hand, as new media such as Facebook and Instagram become more accessible to anyone to create information and share information, the term " user " was coined rather than ‘inmate’. Several problems were revealed during the New Media era as free culture became popular. It is ‘Reliability’ and ‘Copyright’. First, you must think about how far you should trust information. Facebook, for instance, is spreading fake news on pages and accounts. Formats may look like articles, but they are often rumored or advertising. Problems arise because people have indiscriminate access to fake news. and Problems also arise from the high propagation charact...

1. Summary As the Internet developed, many channels of communication available to us became available. People should be responsible for their interactions. We must understand that what you say and do may affect others and has a social significance. It is the same online. Online also uses text to communicate with people and to form relationships with others. Because of this, users should be responsible for all of the interactions online and have a high level of etiquette as a 'citizen'. 2. Interesting Point With the development of media, we are free to express opinions and participate in various interactions. Citizens concentrate on social issues and national affairs with civic consciousness. For instance, there is a system called 'Cheong Wa Dae national petition', which allows people to make suggestions on the Internet to the nation. After the agenda is put on the online bulletin board, it can be implemented in the country if it is supported by multiple people. It...

 Collective Intelligence is the intellectual capacity of a group that many people derive from collaborating or competing with each other. As cyberspace developed, people became more accessible to the information, allowing them to engage in complex interactions rather than just talking. There are also many types of information that reveal collective intelligence, such as science, politics, and economy. New intellectual property is created by working together over a range of uses and information. A prime example of mass intelligence is Wikipedia. On the positive side of collective intelligence, Wikipedia has trust.  First, the information that is produced through collective intelligence in Wikipedia is not just a mass of information. People do not simply enter and delete information into Wikipedia. They identify importance and analyze the sources of trust. They also deletes emotional words and leaves only rational and objective information. As the separated individual info...

1. Summary Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and a community that changes every time that everyone can contribute. Several people discuss the topic and content and develop it in a better direction. Another characteristic of Wikipedia is that it is nonprofit. Wikipedia is a free open-source software that has given its users editing skills and expanded the idea of ' WWW '. Of course, before Wikipedia, there were projects similar to Wikipedia. There has been a development of collective intelligence based on them, and today there are millions of articles on Wikipedia and they are becoming professional. It is Wikipedia that has helped people around the world work together to form agreements. 2. Interesting Point One of the most interesting characteristics of Wikipedia is its ' discussion '. Wikipedia does not only reflect the opinions of people on certain topics. Everyone participates and everyone goes through the process of completing. As many people modify the article, ...

 Last year I ran a Facebook page about beauty & cosmetic. I made card news with my own experiences such as diet and cosmetics usage review. People expressed their opinions by pressing the 'Like' button or quoting the text I wrote on the card news. There were not always good opinions. I wrote about my friend's recommended cosmetics, and someone commented that it is not suitable for " oily skin. " And other people also left a review of the product. I could see the presence of collective intelligence on Facebook.  While the old media only gave us information unilaterally, in today's media, we are free to express our opinions and discuss with others. With so many contents and cultures flooding the society, we can participate in culture anytime, anywhere. Like the Facebook example I experienced, people create a new culture by debating in other people's posts. In addition to Facebook, you can participate in various media outlets such as YouTube and Instagr...

1.      Summary Wikipedia, a type of collective intelligence, is also emerging rapidly as the era of the Internet 2.0 begins. In the old days, we lived in an environment where we could only passively accept information and not share information, talk, or show it. But now, Internet 2.0 has an Internet environment where I can share information with each other and add and modify information myself. As these circumstances are created, we can say people have a growing desire to be " cultural creators. " This change is directly related to the reason why people use Wikipedia. 2.      Interesting point The cultural creators are who share and recreate a particular culture with people of similar interests in modern society. This ' culture creation ' activity is especially active as the Internet becomes more accessible to various people. For example, these days, a " handwritten relay " is in fashion, taking pictures of the hand writing for the " ...

Before starting Wikipedia, the most difficult thing was to choose theme. I was afraid others might get the wrong information from my unclear editing. I was also afraid to make a vague expression with the wrong language choice, as I had to write the information in English, not Korean. So, I decided to try editing first by selecting field that I know well and that I am familiar with. Based on the hometown I lived in, I selected and modified cultural assets and places related to the place. Yangdong Village is my grandmother's house. When I compare Wikipedia with the information I learned from my childhood, it was amazing. It contained more information than I expected, and it was accompanied by a variety of references. But I soon realized it was my imagination. All links were invalid or already deleted addresses. And there were only a few lines of explanation and a few simple positions, but no specific explanation. It is a valuable cultural asset to be listed as a UNESCO Cultura...

Wikipedia is a community. In other words, as a representative type of collective intelligence, it is a platform where the abstract concept of collective intelligence can be seen in real. People accumulated information and created collective intelligence by sharing intelligence, fighting and accepting knowledge. After all, we communicate, interact and collaborate in a web-based community called Wikipedia. The most interesting thing is ‘Wikipedia is a freely and voluntarily collaborative community’.  People enter information voluntarily without expecting anything in return. These people form a knowledge completely. But, What makes them so?   What makes them behave? I would like to discuss with you the motivation to elicit collective intelligence. I think it is a sense of achievement and belonging. You'll only be motivated if you realize what I can get out of my work and why I do it. For example, If I edit information about Hanyang University, I can feel a sense of belongi...
