Week12.2（5.24Fri）Wikipedia:Article development （YANGPEIFU）

1. Summary

Wikipedia articles often start as basic stubs and develop into full-scale articles with time and effort. Before creating an article, it is recommended to use (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Article_wizard) and read (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Your_first_article) guide to find creative topics. You can refer to (https ://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requested_articles), (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Most_wanted_articles) and (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_creation ) and other resources. If you don't have enough time to write a full article, you can start by writing "stubs," short articles that serve as the basis for a complete entry. Finding and extending stubs can be done through tools such as (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Stub_categories) and (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:NewPages). Using the right stub template helps categorize and promote your articles. When writing a Wikipedia article, start by writing a concise introduction that outlines the topic and important points, and ensures that readers understand the overall content of the article through the introduction. Use section headings to separate major sections and provide context and background information. Make sure to link to relevant Wikipedia articles and avoid plagiarizing external sources. Use neutral points of view to describe different opinions and avoid using euphemisms. Proofread for spelling and grammatical errors, maintaining an objective and encyclopedic style. References and external links should be listed at the end of the article. Use images and diagrams to enhance the visual impact of your articles, and collaborate with other editors to improve them via the talk page. Finally, use Wikipedia's peer review mechanism to get feedback and suggestions for improvements. The article quality improvement process includes preliminary improvements, good articles, and featured articles. Good articles need to meet certain criteria, and peer review is recommended. Featured articles are the best content and must be rigorously reviewed and displayed on the main page. When researching a topic, you should cite reliable sources and find information through Google Scholar, library databases, etc. High-quality sources increase the credibility of an article. Create new articles following naming conventions to ensure they are rigorous and comprehensive.

Wikipedia articles often start as small, basic entries called stubs, which with time and effort grow into fully researched articles. This project guide outlines the various stages of article development and provides resources to help contributors effectively improve Wikipedia.

1. Search for existing articles: Make sure the topic doesn't already exist on Wikipedia.

2. Create a new article: - Use the Article Wizard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Article_wizard) to guide you through the creation process.

    You write in a detailed and practical way, suitable for novices and experienced Wikipedia tools to use for editing. It is suggested that specific examples could be added to enhance the practicality and appeal. For the last question, I think the resources for creating new articles on Wikipedia include article wizards, reliable sources, editing guidelines, peer review mechanisms, and help pages, among others. These sources can help editors to write quality article content.

    There are a number of resources you can find on Wikipedia about what you need to create a new article. For example: Wikipedia:How to create a page. It explains the steps on how to create a new article and the requirements for an article.Wikipedia:Sandbox: A sandbox page where you can practice editing and creating entries.Wikipedia:Reliable sources: This article explains Wikipedia's requirements for reliable sources, telling you which sources are acceptable and which are not.

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
