        1）Wikipedia is a global online encyclopedia that is accessible to everyone, friendly to anyone who can use a computer, and has a low threshold for learning. It covers a wide range of topics, including humanities, history, and anything else you can think of. Each entry can be edited and modified by anyone, and you can also participate in discussions under the entry to express your own views. Wikipedia is a huge knowledge sharing platform that provides people with convenient access to information and learning place.

      2）I learned something new in Wikipedia, where anyone can make suggestions, comments, or questions about an article. This open discussion mechanism helps improve content and promotes the exchange and sharing of knowledge. This is different from Baidu Encyclopedia, which is similar to Wikipedia in China. Previously, Baidu did not allow users to discuss, and everything was written from the subjective perspective of the editor. But now Baidu can also discuss, but Baidu Encyclopedia is a company product. It needs to be profitable, so there will be some ads, but Wikipedia has no ads.

      3）But Wikipedia also has some problems. Such as the credibility and accuracy of information. Although users regularly review and update entries, there may be misleading or inaccurate content. Moreover, because anyone can edit entries, Wikipedia is also vulnerable to malicious editing or tampering, which affects the quality and credibility of its content. I think this matter requires a lot of people's self-discipline and sense of responsibility, so that there will be fewer people who deliberately cause trouble.

1.Summary   Remix culture is a culture that allows and encourages the creation of derivative works through the editing of existing material, challenges exclusive copyright restrictions, promotes the idea of remixing, and facilitates the free flow of creativity. In Remix, Lessig describes the shift from a read-only culture to a read/write culture, where the advent of digital technology has redefined the way culture is created and distributed in ways that facilitate the interactive relationship between producers and consumers and democratize the production of ideas and the distribution of content. The history of remix culture dates back to the 19th century, e.g.: according to American media scholar Henry Jenkins, but the balance between creation and consumption shifted with the advancement of analog recording and reproduction technologies.The analog era of the early 20th century, with its specialized creative equipment and cheap consumer devices, led to the strengthening of proprieta...

W1.1 Intro class: intro to class, blog, wiki and other assignments——CHENG SHIYI

1. Summary  I have taken classes from you, the professor, before and have always been interested in Wikipedia, so I chose to take your class this semester regardless. I understand from your introduction to all the courses in the lecture that this semester's Collective Intelligence in Practice course is centered around Wikipedia, which I understand is an encyclopedia that anyone can edit, and that Wikipedia brings together knowledge from around the world. One of the quotes in your course syllabus is that Technocrati's chief technologist says that soon "Wiki-knowledge will be a required job skill." Wikipedia, a non-profit encyclopedic website, is ranked among the top 5 most popular websites in the world, all thanks to a little bit of contribution from volunteers in the world. I see from this that the Collective Intelligence in Practice program understands Collective Intelligence on the Internet through Wikipedia from a sociological perspective. There are many ways to s...

W4.1 March 25 (Mon)——LI MENGRU

1.Summary   This article discusses the characteristics of open content communities and provides a detailed description using Wikipedia as an example. The author first uses the term "community" to describe interdependent groups of people who participate in discussions, decision-making, and share some practices that define communities. Then, the author proposes five characteristics of an open content community: open content, transparency, integrity, non discrimination, and non interference. Although some of these features provide clear boundaries, such as copyright licenses for open content and forking ability, other features such as transparency, integrity, and non discriminatory social values do not provide equally clear boundaries. The author emphasizes that exploring these characteristics helps to understand the background and values in community discussions.   The article then provides a detailed introduction to the origins of the free and open source software movement and...
