W2.1 March 11 (Mon)——HUANGQIHAO

1.Summary

The report summarizes practical skills learned about Wikipedia and its community discussions by watching videos and reading materials. It was emphasized that community messages should be paid attention to when editing Wikipedia, and editing should be updated and corrected in a timely manner. One of the important factors for Wikipedia's success is its community activities, whose openness and collaboration have led to the formation of a unique culture and clear norms. Although Wikipedia has shown great success, there are some flaws, but people still believe in it. Despite the mistakes, Wikipedia has been a subject of great success, providing important insights into innovation, social change and human progress, the report said.

2..Interesting Point

The report highlights the diversity and global nature of Wikipedia, highlighted through linguistic and cultural connections and the cooperation of editors around the world. Wikipedia is seen as a global, free online platform designed to be an open and accessible source of knowledge for users around the world. Despite the shortcomings, people still choose to believe in Wikipedia, which reflects the comprehensiveness and reality of people's understanding of things.

3.Discussion

The report discusses shortcomings because the Wikipedia community is an online platform. However, people still believe in it. The report points out that people on the Internet are vulnerable to cognitive biases and group psychology, tend to be consistent with those with the largest number of supporters, and are sceptical about the opposite. The problems of identifying one's own behavior, explaining reasonably and preventing this kind of psychological influence are put forward.

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.

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...

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...
