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

Jeong Seo Yoon, 정서윤

It’s been 2 months while my first time to start Wikipedia.
There are hard times during the middle test period, assignments from other classes and so on.

This is the though point to editing articles. The depletion of materials. Sometimes I don’t know how can I find ‘new’ edit things? So, I read the news every day. And if there are awesome facts, I go to Wikipedia and start adds or recover the articles. The day of we first met the black hole’s picture, I was waiting for the time the NASA told us. And finally, I could watch the scene of the coolest thing in the universe. I immediately typed it on Wikipedia in blackhole article. Sometimes, these things like transcribe important things driven me.

The second tips my own is participating in Wiki-project. Wiki-project is the online project team to join forces to the same goal. There are many projects like ‘Wiki-project Korea’, ‘Women in Red’ and so on. Wiki-project Korea's goal is editing Korean-related articles. When I edited 20 times about Korea, I received a message from someone in Wikipedia to cooperate with Wiki-project Korea. It was really fascinating to me because I can feel like a sense of belonging and to become a secret agent in Wiki-world.

Finally, I’d like to suggest the last tip. Being friendly with a use shortcut key. That is the simple and best way to make Wikipedia easier. When you want to make fonts thickly, you just push the “Ctrl+B”. The B means ‘Bold’. It is so simple to understand and know it by heart. (of course, it mainly for English user). In the same way, we can use the shortcut key “Ctrl+I” to make fonts incline. And there are many magic Keys to make your writing easy and fun.
These three are my tips to make writing on Wikipedia easier for me. I hope these tips will help someone.

  Q. Is there a better tip to share? If so, please leave a comment.

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...
