#10 What would make writing on Wikipedia easier for me?

"What would make writing on Wikipedia easier for me?"

I remember the first time I joined Wikipedia and edited it. I had prepared DGB Daegu Bank Park, the home of Daegu FC, a Korean professional soccer team. At that time, I wrote three to four sentences for Daegu FC's first home game and inserted related references. But some of my editorial sentences were deleted by another editor. That was my first Wikipedia start.

Perhaps this is something that many Wikipedia editors are worried about. If there is a problem with my edited version, the other editors will delete it. It is largely attributed to copyright issues. For example, a voice or picture cannot be used without the consent of the copyright holder. Even, it is forbidden to cite sentences contained in other writings as they are.

For us to use Wikipedia more easily and efficiently, it is good to ask questions through Help desk on the community portal. Other users answer within a day or two in areas I don't know or are confused about. Also, understanding of various tools such as wikipedia commons and wikidata will make wiki editing easier.


Q) What was the most difficult editing you think? And how did you solve it?

    Hi Min-kook, I thought I wrote this. I experienced exactly the same revert, and thought it could be a wall to someone who just wants to start Wikipedia. True, some are very unkind to newbies like not noticing them why the edit is reverted or just deleting it with some unreasonable reasons. And so I agree to use help desk. It allows us to use Wikipedia more efficiently.

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...
