1.Summary

 This week's reading material is a Wikimedia Commons FAQ. “Wikimedia Commons is a media repository created and maintained by volunteers to provide central storage for freely licensed photos, graphics, animations, music, and other sites. It is also the sister site of Wikipedia.

 Our users can upload freely licensed media files. However the media files must comply with the license conditions of this site. For example: public domain or specific Creative Commons licenses. Gallery pages are used to supplement the categories and provide better presentation and organization. There are also original works that can be uploaded and licensed for use by the creator or licensee, but once uploaded, the free license is irrevocable.

 There are also uploaded images that should be in as high a resolution as possible, but for oversized images it is recommended that a scaled-down version be provided to allow the software to handle them. Users can use these images directly in Wikipedia by simply linking to the filename.

 This website provides a lot of questions and answers for our users to solve various problems in uploading, using and managing media files.

2.Interesting Point

Gallery pages provide a better way to display and organize uploaded media files. With the gallery page, we, the users, can display files more clearly and present them in a more aesthetically pleasing and informative way e.g. by adding annotations, improving the display size and using table organization.

3.Discussion

How do you effectively manage and organize large numbers of uploaded media files to ensure that users can easily find the content they need?

    To effectively manage and organize large numbers of uploaded media files, use a robust file management system with features like metadata tagging and version control. Establish clear naming conventions and logical folder structures, and leverage metadata and tags for better searchability. Standardize categories, provide advanced search functionality, and regularly audit files to keep the system organized. Offer training and guidelines to users, implement file versioning and access controls, and integrate the system with other organizational tools. Regularly seek user feedback and make iterative improvements to address any issues and enhance the system's effectiveness.

    Although there are many useful media resources available, users need to adhere to strict licensing conditions and standards when uploading and using media files to ensure legality and compliance.

    Effective management and organization of media files on platforms like Wikipedia involve implementing a consistent file naming convention, categorizing files into logical groups, using detailed metadata and tags for searchability, and providing a robust search function to help users locate content quickly and accurately.

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...
