[4] Discuss Reagle Chapters 1-2

Discuss Reagle Chapters 1-2

   Wikipedia starts with a vision 'the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit'. From this vision, Reagle Chapters talk about some points. First, the good faith collaborative culture. Second, what the passion for global high accessibility made. 

  First, Wikipedia has a good faith collaborative culture. Because it has 'Wikiquette', and the rules are added and revised by Wiki people, and the love/mercy prevailed in here makes the unique culture. When people gathers in, it is likely to be a war in some cases, but with the settled rules and warmhearted people, Wiki makes the environment similar to the ideal human community-with honest argue, talk between Wiki users.
  Second, Wikipedia is made with the passion for global high accessibility for information. The passion to the accessibility made more results including FOSS-Free and Open Source Software-, but as a result, Wikipedia is the most recent version of the pursuit to global access of info. From the idea, formed 'Nupedia', the wiki-based encyclopedia, based by the thought of 'global accessibility of information'. But it was a failure because of the restrict only to the professional information which Wiki doesn't applies. In short, Wikipedia is the redeemed version of Nupedia. 

  There are more specific stories in the chapters, but I summarized some points that I think is the main. The thing I found interesting was the surprising environment that Wikipedia is making up. Compared to the number of users, the overall atmosphere and the civil recognition is great. It is really an ideal society, I think. 
  And also, I have some questions. I read the sentence, 'Wiki is partially constituted by centralization.' and 'Wiki's rate with negative arguing-somehow hold up- is increasing faster than the info edits.' If so, do you think Wikipedia needs more regulations about centralization for the better quality progress of Wikipedia?

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...
