1)

Wikipedia articles should be trustworthy and based on published sources, and they should verify if all significant viewpoints on a topic have been covered in those sources. If reliable sources cannot be found for a particular topic, the article should be deleted. This means that articles lacking sources or with weak sourcing should be immediately deleted without waiting for deletion discussions.

Sources are classified into three categories: primary, published, and situational. Primary sources could be books or web pages. Published refers to any form of source that has been made available to the public. Situational involves citing sources relevant to the topic. In addition to these three, sources can also be cited from news organizations.

On the other hand, there are several types of sources to avoid citing. These include suspicious sources, sponsored content, self-published sources, and machine-generated fake sources.


2)

It was interesting to learn that some unreliable sources include certain academic papers. Typically, when we hear "academic paper," we think of research based on the findings of experts (usually professors), so naturally, we assume they are reliable sources. However, according to the information provided, some papers may not have undergone supervision by recognized experts. This sentence helped me understand why some academic papers are not trusted. Just because something is labeled as an academic paper doesn't necessarily mean it's credible, as not all papers are deemed academically valid or subjected to the oversight of recognized experts.


3) 

What do you consider the most reliable source? Examples from the reading are also welcome.

    I think that the position of the expert institution is the most reliable.
    There are positions and guidelines of expert institutions that are recognized domestically and internationally.
    For the medical field, there are opinions and guidelines from internationally trusted medical institutions.

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...
