References to Wikipedia in popular culture are widespread. A satirical comedy program released the newly coined term "wikiality," a compound word of the words Wiki and reality. This means consensual truth based on the form of consensual approval. It is mentioned in other fields as well. First, it is art. In art, a statue was erected to honor Wikipedia contributors. Second, it is music. A scene of Wikipedia appears in a scene from Yankovic's music video. Third, it is a webtoon. Lastly, it is politics. In politics, it mentioned how events are organized. It is also used as a comedy material.

It is interesting to note that Wikipedia has been mentioned a lot in the cultural sector. This is because Wikipedia is not widely used in Korea, so Wikipedia references cannot be found in Korean culture. 

In the English-speaking world, I felt that as many articles on Wikipedia were being published, it was having a profound influence on culture. I thought that cultural diversity would improve if Wikipedia's information, which can cover various topics, was dealt with in culture. This is because opinions from various people can be heard and reflected.

So, have you ever mentioned a website similar to Wikipedia in Korean culture in Korea?

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...

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...

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...
