Why do you think people use Wikipedia? Why do others write for it?


  As we all know,Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia project. Features free content, 
free editing. It is currently the largest and most popular reference tool on the global network and is ranked among the top 10 most popular websites in the world.Wikipedia allows users who visit the site to freely view and modify the content of most pages. The total number of editors for the entire site has exceeded 
1 billion. Because Wikipedia is able to sort out the information related to recent events very quickly, and anyone can dig deeper into the data content, many people are gradually considering Wikipedia as a news source. At the same time, in order to facilitate the general students or the masses to understand the contents of the entries, most of the entries in Wikipedia explain the complex concepts in simple
 words.Wikipedia is available in multiple languages and can see different perspectives. In addition to the protected entries, Wikipedia can be edited without registration and displayed directly on the page after saving. Wikipedia has a stricter review of copyrights. Most of the pictures are works owned by users themselves, and watermarks of other websites are rarely seen. All Wikipedia content is written by the user, making it impossible to pay for modified terms and locked terms.I think these are the advantages of Wikipedia and why people are still using and writing Wikipedia.

    I think you summarized the advantages of Wikipedia well. True, Wikipedia has many users and a prompt system which makes it a new network service for people.
    And it was a interesting point that the 'strict copyright system' helps Wikipedia to be maintained. I haven't thought about this point. But it is really reasonable I think, because if the copyright system was just a smash, maybe Wikipedia soon at the same time would have collapsed. No cites, references, common creatives... it is similar to a disaster I guess.
    I would like to ask one thing. I think the copyright system is good enough now. What do you think about it? Do you think we need more strict copyright system in Wikipedia?

    I didn't know Wikipedia was a website big enough to top 10 all over the world. That's probably because Wikipedia is available for free and there is a variety of information. Also, as you said, it seems to be possible to globalize because Wikipedia offers a lot of languages. Sometimes I don't have the Korean Wikipedia information I want. However, if you access Wikipedia in other countries, the information is so global that it may exist.

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...
