Can Wikipedia Disappear?

Can Wikipedia Disappear ?
Wikipedia cannot be lost because it is an encyclopedia created by collective intelligence, not one person. If Wikipedia is a space created by one operator, the operator can eliminate Wikipedia by deleting all posts and shutting down the server. However, since Wikipedia is a space where countless people from numerous nationalities voluntarily added and edited information, it is impossible to delete Wikipedia unless all of these people delete all their contributions at the same time. As such, Wikipedia has too much information by too many people to disappear. 
However, I think Wikipedia's servers could change a little bit in the future, with new features added or older features deleted. 

What do you think? Do you think Wikipedia can disappear?

    I agree with you, definitely Wikipedia can not disappear, it is likely to be modified and improved, but never disappear or at least not at all.

    I agree that Wikipedia cannot disappear. But I think it will disappear if there is an online site with more efficient collective intelligence than Wikipedia. For example, posting information in Wikipedia does not translate into all languages. If there is a site with this feature, it will be preferable to Wikipedia. I imagine that these trivial functions will build up and build up and eliminate Wikipedia.

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...
