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



Why do you think people use Wikipedia? Why do others write for it? (Byeori Kim)


 I think the biggest reason people use Wikipedia is because it is easy to get the information they want. The most appropriate example of collective intelligence being used is Wikipedia, which contains a lot of information that people have added. Because people are free to add or delete information to other people's posts, Wikipedia is added over time, or older information is deleted. That's why Wikipedia's information is always updated or added. Therefore, it is easy to get information that people edit by simply typing in a search word on Wikipedia.

 Another reason why people use Wikipedia is because it has a reference of information, which allows them to quickly see if the information is reliable. If you type in a search term on Wikipedia and then go down the window to the bottom, you will find the sources of information that people have brought. Thus, those who want reliable information can identify the source of the information on Wikipedia, or get more information from it.

 So why does people add information to Wikipedia? I think it is because they want to share information. People add information to Wikipedia, but at the same time they also get information from Wikipedia. In other words, the entity that produces the information also consumes the information. This allows people to exchange and interact with each other.

 I think there are more reasons why people write on Wikipedia than this. Why do you think people write on Wikipedia? I want you to share your thoughts.

    I agree with you. A lot of information and resource make people use Wikipedia. Additionally, free permission to get information edit information and free license fee might be a other reason why people write a article on Wikipedia. That's because people don't need to worry about license or fee when they use Wikipedia!

    I think one of the reasons people use wiki that you didn't mention is for the sake of expression.
    Everyone wants to live by expressing, and lives by doing it. Since the advent of the Internet, this phenomenon has occurred more often. Wouldn't anyone want to show off the knowledge they know and that desire have been reflected in wiki? That must be one of the many reasons for using Wiki.

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...
