 summary

This article focuses on the birth of Wikipedia, the free online encyclopaedia, its development and its impact on society and academia. The article begins by noting that ten years ago, no one, including Wikipedia's founder Jimmy Wales, could have imagined the possibilities of Wikipedia. Today, however, it is one of the top sites on the Internet, representing a best practice for a different kind of economy or community ethic: a free, voluntary, collaborative community that continually offers the world opportunities for understanding and revision. As a result, I also have great admiration for Wikipedia as a website.


interesting point

discussion

I happened to have a quandary when I was editing Wikipedia last week: in my edit last week I removed parts of the original article, which also included a website. The content presented on this site does not match the current situation, so should I just delete the outdated content and add the new content myself or should I contact the other party first.

    It is indeed true that it is really hard to believe that a non-profit website can be what it is today. Wikipedia has become one of the world's most important online platforms for knowledge, so mastering the skills of Wikipedia is also essential, and Wikipedia's success today would not have been possible without the selfless dedication of its global editors and the trust and support of everyone. The success of Wikipedia has indeed demonstrated its unconventional mode of operation and the value of community participation, which is worth learning from many profitable websites.

Introduction to the blog

 This blog is a digital forum where students from Collective Intelligence in Practice: Understanding Wikipedia at the Hanyang University in Korea (2024) will discuss their weekly readings and activities. Each week you are expected to post a blog post on our blog and make a comment on another student's post. You can do so on one of the following three topics: a) You can blog about the readings for the next week. As you are expected to do the assigned readings FOR the lectures they are assigned to, you are expected to post your blog and comments BEFORE that lecture. An ideal commentary should be about half a page in length (~200 words), divided into three clearly labeled sections in which you: 1) summarize in your own words of materials you read; 2) mention any new, interesting, or unusual items learned; 3) identify at least one question, concern, or discussion angle that is either problematic in some respect or could have been elaborated more. This question is likely to be incorpora

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 st

Weekly blog posts（Answers to the given questions）——ZHONG XIN

1.Summary I think firstly I need to familiarize myself with Wikipedia's copyright policy and make sure that I familiarize myself with the rules and regulations before editing the article, which includes policy guidelines for text, images or other media files. Secondly, I will try to write original content, writing articles or summaries and explanations in my own words, rather than copying and pasting directly from copyrighted sources. If I need to use copyrighted material, I must obtain permission from the copyright holder to do so, which requires me to contact the rights holder and receive explicit permission to use the content on Wikipedia. And I must only use content that is in the public domain or under a free license, such as Creative Commons, making sure that I understand the terms of the license, and providing proper attribution when required. And then I have to make fair use of copyrighted material that is permitted for purposes such as commentary, journalism, or teaching a
