W2.1 FAN XINRU

 

Summary

Through the viewing of this learning material video, I learned that Wikipedia, as the world's largest online encyclopedia platform, has built a knowledge platform with comprehensive information, rich content, and abundant fields. In this community, people share and communicate information and knowledge equally, promoting communication and connection between people from various regions around the world. As a non-profit organization, Wikipedia has a high degree of openness, allowing editors to collaborate with each other in different regions and at different times to jointly complete the construction of articles. On Wikipedia, people can become both recipients and disseminators of knowledge, experiencing multiple identities from bystanders to participants.

Interesting points

Wikipedia can provide more assistance to those who study social information or engage in sociology. Although it cannot generate social knowledge on its own, it integrates various authoritative sociological knowledge from around the world, thanks to the joint maintenance of volunteers. It is precisely because of this feature that Wikipedia has promoted the development of sociology and fully created a favorable development atmosphere.

problem

Besides the areas currently covered by Wikipedia, what other areas may occupy a place on Wikipedia in the future?

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
