W3.1 March 18 ZHANG QI

 Summary：

Wikipedia's vision is to document "the sum of all human knowledge". However, the realisation of this vision is not an easy task and depends on technological developments and global co-operation. Wales and other supporters dreamed of promoting a combination of access to information and human harmony through Wikipedia, making world knowledge freely available to people across the globe. Both the founders of Wikipedia and others and the users of Wikipedia are doing their part to make Wikipedia's content available to everyone in the world. These efforts reflect a new awareness of global interdependence and a desire for universal access to knowledge, thus laying the groundwork for the growth of Wikipedia.


Important points: 

Wikipedia's vision is to document "the sum of all human knowledge". Wikipedia's vision also demonstrates global cooperation and collaboration in action. As a global online platform, Wikipedia brings together volunteers from around the world to work together to create and maintain a knowledge base. This broad model of cooperation demonstrates the power of human beings to unite and work together to achieve a common goal, inspiring a spirit of collaboration and collective intelligence in society.


Discussion:

One of the most important points that I think is worth discussing is about how people from different national and regional ethnicities around the world can create value for Wikipedia on the platform, and how to spread that value.

    While creating together, you should also pay attention to some things, such as understanding and respecting the differences between different cultures and avoiding misunderstandings or conflicts caused by cultural differences.

    Wikipedia's mission to make knowledge freely available to everyone on the planet is a noble goal. Ensuring the accuracy, credibility, and fairness of the information is also a challenge that cannot be ignored. Continuous efforts and innovations are required to develop better mechanisms and tools to screen and vet content, ensuring that Wikipedia serves as a reliable knowledge platform. Nonetheless, Wikipedia's goals are of immense significance to the improvement of global education, sharing of information, and the development of society. It provides a valuable opportunity for many people to acquire knowledge, learn, and participate in global knowledge sharing, contributing to the building of a more inclusive and intelligent society.

    They add to the rich diversity and inclusiveness of Wikipedia by writing entries, editing content, providing expertise, and translating articles. Wikipedia can promote cross-cultural collaboration by increasing cultural sensitivity and awareness among editors. This includes encouraging respect for and understanding of the cultural backgrounds and beliefs of others, as well as avoiding the use of language and expressions that may be considered offensive or discriminatory.

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
