Discuss Reagle’s chapter 5

Consensus is a very important issue in Wikipedia. Consensus is an important keyword in defining a problem because we live in contact with so many people and their opinions vary. Consensus can only be made between sensible editors who strive to maintain good faith and work together to more accurately and appropriately express different views on the subject.

A small number of editors can reach an consensus decision among themselves. However, when the document draws the attention of others, someone who disagrees can come out. The first editors should not prevent further changes because they have already made a decision. No one, as well as a few editors, can unilaterally declare that a community agreement has been changed or confirmed. An editor who believes there is a valid reason for the consensus decision to be reversed can discuss in the discussion column to find out what other editors think is important, and compare and review various perspectives and reasons.

What matters most is that we can compare and review various perspectives and reasons. Because various perspectives and reasons exclude the subjectivity of Wikipedia editing and increase objectivity. Editing based on objective data is needed as many people around the world already use Wikipedia beyond the encyclopedia.

My question is what is the most efficient way to reach an agreement not only in our society but also in the Wikipedia society. Flip a coin? Vote? What do you think?

    It is a well composed write! nice. I think it will be different with the meaning of 'efficient'. If the efficient means time, vote would be the most. If the efficient means simplicity, flipping coins would be. And thinking out the box, if making the most best decisions with many people is efficient, Wikipedia system would be the most efficient way. But if I have to choose one, I would choose vote, as the most efficient of time.

    I don't easily think of a means to make an agreement, such as tossing coins or voting, effective. Instead, I think the process of agreement is more important than means. Listening well to each other's opinions, criticizing, and respecting each other, rather than criticizing, seems to make the agreement efficient.

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...
