#9. Discuss Reagle's Chapter3-4

2015048031 Jeong Seo Yoon

In chapter 4, we finally think about Wikipedia's openness. There have been numerous discussions about how everything in Wikipedia is possible, but Wikipedia says 'Ignore All Rules,' "if rules prevent you from improving or maintaining Wikipedia, you can ignore it." But it also says it does not mean that all actions can be justified. It is said that there is no alternative to good judgment, just to contribute freely, and to improve the encyclopedia. However, the concept of openness is still an important component of Wikipedia.

The writer describes Wikipedia as the five features of the open contents community. The five concepts are as follows.
<Open content, Transparity, Integrity, Nondiscrimination, Noninterference>

Wikipedia is an example of a public content community, but when practicing openness, it is sometimes difficult to strike a balance with issues such as freedom of speech, public opinion, transparency, and a nondiscriminatory structure. However, I strongly agree that Wikipedia is qualified as a forum to discuss how to balance the value you ultimately want to pursue. Wikipedia's core debating capabilities could contribute greatly to other communities as well.

Question: Do you have any memorable discussion cases when editing crisis media? I once had a conversation with a foreign user asking for confirmation of the reference. It was very interesting, but on the other hand, I was afraid to give the wrong information. How can one assume that an individual has more than one level of norms? I'm always amazed by this incredible trust.
