[1] Wikipedia

  <What do you know about Wikipedia and what do I want to learn about it?> 

 Wikipedia, I think it is a big encyclopedia filled with various information edited by people in the world. Obviously it contains lots of information that are large and small, famous or not. One thing I knew since the first week was that Wikipedia has strict laws-especially in copyrights. Naturally because the system in Wikipedia uses many information from various materials. The point that is easy to overlook. 

  So I thought it would be great to learn about more copyright rules in Wikipedia by editing some articles, and how to edit Wikipedia effectively. I tried to edit some part of the articles by myself but there were so many conditions to success editing. For the first time I had to make a new article to add one as a celebrity, and for the second try I had to make a citation. And trying to add a photo, the photo had to be created by myself to upload in Wikipedia. Learning about the required skills in Wikipedia and copyright laws will be my first aim in this class. 
  Second, I want to learn about the massive system of Wikipedia. In other words, I want to understand about the system in Wikipedia which makes reverts for the edits, and the message system, and the overall structure of it. Information is stacked like a sea, then how can this system hold these and keep on checking the forms? If there are some supervisors, would it be accurate to let them check? It made me curious. 

  Closing, I would like to share the question I mentioned above. What do you think about Wikipedia's system? How will the system circulate in stable. If there are supervisors checking the whole system or if there are a checking programs made by Wikipedia, would it be accurate and fair to any edited information? 

thanks for reading.

    It is interesting. At the first time, I have a similar question of it. I think many people doing Wikipedia are supervisors. So, when we meet a controversial article, we can see that the article is edited and developed quickly. And I do not know if there is a program to check, but if it does exist, it should be done with minimal standards. In a way to censure hate speech. Thank you for sharing your story Minhyun!

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...
