#1 About Wikipedia

1. Summary


Wikipedia is a vast and famous encyclopedia of online versions, composed of 290 languages (or more). It is one of the most popular sites around the world because it is composed of various languages. As it is popular, there is a lot of knowledge and information and many people visit it. While it is good to simply have a large amount of information, the free use and citation of Wikipedia seems to be a big advantage. Above all, anyone can write their (he or she) thoughts, comment, and edit can be a reason for steady growth.


2. What was interesting


The most interesting thing about learning about Wikipedia was its characteristic of openness. I felt that the information about Wikipedia described in the summary was expressed by the word ‘openness’. Before class, I thought there was an operator in Wikipedia like naver(www.naver.com) and thought that only operator had access to postings. But I was shocked to see that it was a site of collective intelligence. The steadily edited texts were poor at first, but it seemed surprising that the composition of the writings became more solid as time went by.


3. Discussion


The Information in Wikipedia has been edited and organized through the brains of many people form the past to the present. Then, I would like to ask this question.
‘Are the information in Wikipedia 100 percent reliable?'

    Actually, no i think.
    the information of Wikipedia is gathered by common people like us.
    In class, because each of us are thinking differently, Wiki users also write and think different each other. someone is agreed that explanations but some are not.
    All the information in Wiki is gathered each others opinion, not truth.
    So I think 100% accuracy information is not exist. just the more it is added, the more empathize and be common.

      I agree with your opinion. In addition, I think that not only Wikipedia, but all the information in the world is not 100% accurate. Because it may be accurate at the present time, but it may be revealed as false information in the future when technology develops.

      So I think online encyclopedias like Wikipedia are important. It is a space where all information can be quickly updated by collective intelligence in a rapidly changing society.

Discuss Reagle’s chapters 3-4

Discuss Reagle’s chapters 3-4 I read the Reagle's chapters 3-4. I find two opinion. One thing is how to collaborate people on Wikipedia. Other is how to make open community on Wikipedia. How to collaborate people on Wikipedia. In the case of the English Wikipedia, there is a collaborative culture that asks its participants to assume two postures: a stance of neutral point of view on matters of knowledge, and a stance of good faith toward one’s fellow contributors. I think that people know the mood that must keep the rule on Wikipedia. If Wikipedia's mood is light, people write the light writing. Other is how to make open community on Wikipedia. I remember the discussion that Why the Women is smaller that the men on Wikipedia. I've heard from others the reason that women don't use it much because the community isn't friendly to women. I think that we try to create Wikipedia to use all the people no matter that the sex. I think it's a process ...

Discuss Reagle's Chapter3-4

In  the Reagle  Chapter 3-4, the troll and the ignore rules were impressive.  Troll is the one who destroys teamwork and leads the team to ruin.  Trolls, which are negative characters, help develop Wikipedia. Wikipedia finds the wrong information generated by the troll. And the information is modified by others. In that process, it results in more information production. There is an outlaw, similar to a troll. The lawless ignores all regulations, including copyright and reference. Like Trolls, they help develop Wikipedia. They are free to edit because they are out of regulation. The free edited content is modified by others, including attaching references and deleting content that is caught in copyright issues. Wikipedia develops as it takes care of these types of people.

Discuss Reagle’s chapter 5

Discuss Reagle’s chapter 5 It is hard to understand this chapter. When I used the Wikipedia, I thought I don't need to group communication. Because the communication space is hidden, so I don't find it. I'm hard to find the communication space on Wikipedia. I think that the Wikipedia communication is not good at working in Korea. There are not many advisers on Korea Wikipedia. The Wiktionary definitions for consensus speak of “general agreement,” “without active opposition to the proposed course of action. I found it important for members to reach an agreement on Wikipedia. It's not an easy task, but I think it can produce a good results. So I think that's why Wikipedia exists. It can appear in a chat window, and go and talk to the other person's chat room. Perhaps it ends up as a personal versus personal matter, but I think that's also an agreement. If conversation does not take place, I don't think an agreement is reached either. Wiki...
