W8.1 FAN XINRU


Summary

The topic of this article is intended to emphasize the importance of accurate information sources when editing Wikipedia.When editing Wikipedia, it is considered necessary to use reliable and accurate sources.These sources can be obtained from academic articles, news reports, professional books and publications.Wikipedia is open and collaborative, which requires verifiability of its sources.A source is defined as a trusted source that can be verified and verified.Information that does not have a reliable source or cannot be verified can affect the accuracy of the article, reduce the credibility of the article, and at the same time be misleading and destroy the good Wikipedia use environment.In the face of such content, it is likely that it will be deleted or changed.However, the article mentions that in some cases, it may be inevitable to use unprofessional sources to fill and enrich existing articles.At the same time, in order to increase the verifiable convenience of the article, we should pay attention to the clear structure of the article to facilitate the reader's reading.

Interesting point.

When editing Wikipedia, there are sometimes clear and reliable sources, but these sources may be at odds on another level, such as arguments about the content, or different perceptions, opinions, etc. in certain situations.

Question

Wikipedia is increasingly focusing on the reliability of its sources at this stage, and if censorship is too strict, will it affect its inclusiveness?For example, should people who are cognitively deficient or have difficulty accessing reliable sources be allowed to participate in editing?

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

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
