review guidelines on reliable sources for specialized topics ; Cite


1. summary

Following the last session, we learned about Wikipedia:Reliable_sources and shared our opinions. Let's read the material above and summarize what we have learned further.

News sources often contain both fact-based and opinion content. News reports from well-known media outlets are generally considered reliable in factual statements. News reports from relatively less famous media outlets generally have less reliability in factual statements. In other words, when information is imported from a media organization, a fact-checking process is necessary. If information is imported from this place, not only the newspaper that wrote the original text, but also the reprinted newspaper and institution must be marked as the source. 

There are many sites within Wikipedia that cannot be used as sources. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deprecated_sources) These sites have a significant history of manipulation or are at fault for indicating sources with serious factual certainty issues.


2. interesting point

In the case of the media, it was surprising that it had to be edited after confirming the facts because the subjectivity of the reporter was reflected. This is because the majority of people tend to believe that the media only conveys the truth. Wikipedia felt that it was gathering more accurate information because it was well aware that the media did not necessarily convey the truth.


3. discussion

Looking at the list of trusted sites, I wondered if everything could be trusted. I looked at the media side that I knew the best among the various topics.

Since <oh my news> is a place where citizens write articles, I think it is appropriate to use it as a collective intelligence. However, I think there may be a problem of reliability because reporters do not write articles through fact-checking. 

Thus this cite can help add information to Wikipedia, which collects various information, but I don't think it can get accurate information because it's written by ordinary citizens, not professional reporters.

W10.2 May 10 (Fri)—CHENG SHIYI

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...

How to make sure content you add to Wikipedia is not a copyright violation?—— LI MENGRU

1.Summary Firstly, we can use as much content as possible that is clearly released under free copyright licenses or is in the public domain. This content is typically available on dedicated free material websites, such as Wikimedia Commons, Pixabay, Unsplash, and others. Doing so can help avoid copyright disputes and ensure that the content we add is lawful. Secondly, if we wish to use others' work on Wikipedia, we must reach out to the copyright holders and request permission. This may require communication with the authors or copyright owners and obtaining written permission or usage agreements. Only after obtaining authorization can we use these works on Wikipedia. Additionally, we can choose to create our own original content and add it to Wikipedia. This not only helps avoid copyright issues but also contributes new and valuable content to Wikipedia. We can generate original content through independent research, interviews, or creation to enrich Wikipedia's information res...

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...
