Chapter 6 The Benevolent Dictator

 I read Chapter 6 of the good faith community of Joseph Rigle and found a deeper understanding of the community of Wikipedia. This chapter is really interesting, and I often talk about the internal management and social movement of Wikipedia.


First, the rifle introduced the details of how the community of Wikipedia is working together. He said this was not just a website but a big family of global service teams. They come from different backgrounds in the world but strive for common goals to build foundations of free and reliable knowledge. I think that this spirit of cooperation is very difficult because people show how people can create such a big project by passing through different cultures and times.


Second, Briggs referred to how Wikipedia deals with collisions and collisions. Needless to say, these large families cannot afford to be mistaken. However, they have a series of rules and guidelines to manage these issues to ensure the fairness and transparency of the discussion. I was surprised that how maintaining order on an open platform is not easy, but they seem to be doing well and show organizational power and community unity.


And, the openness and inclusion of Wikipedia are impressive, everyone can edit, encompass various information and viewpoints, and realize the diversity. This openness is not only technical but also cultural, and everyone can feel a sense of participation and contribution.


Finally, Bill refers to the challenges and developments of the future, addressing the challenges of volunteer engagement and maintenance, and responding to false information, but believes that this platform will play an important role if they are confident in the future of Wikipedia and maintain their core values.


In general, this chapter improved the global knowledge-sharing project of Wikipedia. It is not only a website but also a community and is a large family filled with vitality and ideas. If you are interested in building a successful online community through trust and cooperation, this article is worth reading!

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...
