 1.Summary

 Wikimedia Commons is a media repository created and maintained by volunteers whose primary purpose is to provide central storage of freely licensed media files, including photos, graphics, animations, music, and more. As a sister project to Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons users can upload media files that meet certain licensing conditions. These conditions include public domain or specific creative Commons licenses. The gallery page is designed to provide users with a better way to organize and present, and to provide suitable supplements for different types of media files.


Media files uploaded by users should meet certain criteria, such as having the highest possible resolution, to ensure their applicability in different scenarios. For large images, it is recommended to provide a smaller version to facilitate software processing. When using these images in Wikipedia, users simply link to the file name.


In order to help users better understand and manage media files, Wikimedia Commons provides a large number of questions and answers covering the various issues of uploading, using and managing media files. These questions and answers are provided to provide users with convenience and guidance to ensure that they can make proper use of this resource library.

2.Interesting Point

Wikimedia Commons users can upload freely licensed media files, which means that people can share and use various media resources without violating copyright laws, thus promoting the sharing of information and culture.

3.Discussion

When uploading media files, how do I ensure that they meet certain licensing conditions? How do I verify copyright information for files in the case of Creative Commons licenses and the public domain?

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...

W4.1 March 25 (Mon)——LI MENGRU

1.Summary   This article discusses the characteristics of open content communities and provides a detailed description using Wikipedia as an example. The author first uses the term "community" to describe interdependent groups of people who participate in discussions, decision-making, and share some practices that define communities. Then, the author proposes five characteristics of an open content community: open content, transparency, integrity, non discrimination, and non interference. Although some of these features provide clear boundaries, such as copyright licenses for open content and forking ability, other features such as transparency, integrity, and non discriminatory social values do not provide equally clear boundaries. The author emphasizes that exploring these characteristics helps to understand the background and values in community discussions.   The article then provides a detailed introduction to the origins of the free and open source software movement and...

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...
