About Preface

In this article, I found the psychology of the author who studied Wikipedia. Wikipedia is full of personal memories and reflections. This is interesting. The following is my idea.


First, the author left the World Internet Federation and entered graduate school. He started to be interested in new Internet apps and blogs but was attracted more to the collaboration community such as Wikipedia. He found a different discussion atmosphere in blogs and Wikipedia, and these observations enhanced his curiosity about Wikipedia. This experience shows the opening and exploration spirit of the scholars' new things.


Next, we introduce the original charm of Wikipedia as a collaboration platform. His work experience at W3C will help us understand the importance of teamwork, and Wikipedia also shows the power of cooperation. He said many people might feel bored creating an encyclopedia but found that Wikipedia was an interesting collaborative theme. I was able to understand more about the management of Wikipedia by appreciating such a cooperative spirit.


The process of studying ethnography in Wikipedia is also interesting. He referred to the proposal received in the course of the study. This was the most important topic in his head for years to come, so he chose some of the acceptable topics he had. The cooperation spirit of Wikipedia has become his horse and eventually achieved great results. Such long-term investment and patience will marvel.


The article also appreciates the person who has provided help and support in the process of research. The author is grateful that academic guidance, colleagues, friends, and Wikipedia respondents shared their experiences. This not only embodies approval for others' help but also supports support and encouragement through academic research.


Finally, the author has been supported by many institutions to write this book, including the Harvard Law Department Berkman Internet and Social Center, the University of New York Media, culture and Propagation, Brooklyn Public Library, Carroll Gardens, and so on. This support is not only helping to complete his research but also providing a comfortable writing environment.


In general, this article has not only experienced the author's research process but also showed deep interest in Wikipedia. Through the study of the Wikipedia cooperation spirit, the author showed us a new net cultural phenomenon, as well as the fascination and significance of academic research. This article is full of love for personal emotions and knowledge that shows more understanding and respect for the study of Wikipedia and its authors.

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...

W10.2 May 10 (Fri)—CHENG SHIYI

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...

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...
