W5.1 April 1 (Mon)-ZHANG QI

 1. summary

The entire content of this article is mainly about the efforts made by Wikipedia users to maintain the utopia of their dreams, the process of becoming benevolent dictators through their efforts, and how to balance the rights of benevolent dictators. So I believe that understanding the community and its collaborative culture is the key to understanding Wikipedia. However, unlike the pure utopian dream, WikiLeaks must reconcile its vision with the inevitable social reality. Although Wikipedia has a sincere culture of cooperation, egalitarian spirit, and openness - or precisely because of this - it has always been shaped by the author's leadership, which creates a problem where the author may act as a benevolent dictator to maintain the environment of Wikipedia at some level. An informal benevolent dictator is responsible for gently guiding the community, mediating internal disputes between kind-hearted individuals, and protecting those who are dishonest. However, when a person begins to take on responsibilities beyond their will alone and fails to balance responsibility and pressure, a benevolent dictator will disappear. The environment of Wikipedia can also become very dangerous, so we should still learn Sanger's reflection on his exit from the community and continuous discussions on the role of Wales. Their success and contribution to Wikipedia are valuable experiences for us rookies.

2. interested points

The article mentioned a word called 'neo-Nazi'. Firstly, I got scary emotions. But connected with this article that has a good title. As a leader， you usually be called a benevolent dictator. Especially when you live in a global community. And you must make sure your community is clean. so you need to use something that can control your community. In this process, there will definitely be a concentration of power. so that 'neo-Nazi' was born.

3. discussion

How can we do Wikipedia mix Wales and Sanger's theory?

As a user, how to provide us to be a 'neo-Nazi'？

How to balance the press and privilege?

    Understanding the collaborative culture of the Wikipedia community is key to understanding how it works. In this open spirit of collaboration is fundamental to Wikipedia's success, and in such an open community it is necessary for someone to act as a benevolent dictator to maintain order and norms in the community. In the question of how to balance journalism and privilege, I think it is possible to present some relevant comments from this chapter and from myself, although this is a complex issue that is something that needs to be analyzed and explored more deeply in order to find a suitable solution.

    Balancing the press and privilege involves ensuring that freedom of the press is upheld while also addressing the influence of privilege in media coverage. Key considerations include promoting ethical journalism, fostering diversity and representation in the media, maintaining transparency and accountability, and upholding legal protections for press freedom. Finding this balance requires ongoing dialogue and vigilance to uphold democratic principles and promote social justice in media governance.

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
