#3, Why do you think people use Wikipedia? why do others write for it

W3. Why do you think people use Wikipedia? why do others write for it

Why do you think people use Wikipedia? I think most of Wikipedia users are to get information. I also used Wikipedia only to get information before this class. But I can find information because many people are entering it. who are they? and why they do like that?

 I think Wikipedia was created using the characteristics that people want to share their knowledge and their altruism. It was possible because many people who wanted to share knowledge gathered together to gather a lot of knowledge and interact with each other.

Wikipedia is a successful example of Linus's rule "given enough eyeballs all bugs are shallow" 
What is the Linus's rule? it assume the acceptability and openness of people.
Everyone should have the openness to disclose their information With pleasure. And It also needs to be acceptive to other people's information. With this assumption, Web 2.0 could start. It was a great success. 

 Our lives are affected a lot by Web 2.0. The Wikipedia and blog we are doing are also Web 2.0. It is a real collective intelligence! 

I wonder which direction web2.0 will develop and which direction is desirable. what do you think about this?

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 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...

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.
