Good Faith Collaboration

 After reading the book "fortune dance collaboration: The Culture of Wikipedia" by Joseph M. Reid Jr., I was deeply impressed by the exploration of the complex mechanics of the success and evolution of Wikipedia. The ethnographic study of Rigle examined the history, cultural norms, and cooperative practices that define the Wikipedia community.


One important point of this book is that Rigle believes that Wikipedia's success is not only the progress of technology but also the result of their attachment to the Wikipedia community and cultural norms. This point of view challenges the traditional point of view that only technological innovations can lead to these projects. Regent emphasizes the concept of "good faith" and emphasizes that mutual trust, patience, courtesy, and humor play an important role in maintaining Wikipedia's growth and quality.


This book provides a comprehensive backdrop of the history of Wikipedia to explore the unique tracks of Wikipedia, from Wikipedia's previous philosophy to today's implementation. Rigle provides a detailed description of the impact of Wikipedia on the decision-making process, the role of community agreements, and the influence of keystones, such as Jim Boils, and provides a subtle description of platform governance.


Rigle also deals with criticisms and challenges faced by Wikipedia, including the complexity of accuracy, amateurism, and complexity of content. These discussions were not only beneficial but also caused critical reflections on the widespread significance of the collaborative online platform and the open content community.


The comments commented heavily on the study, clarity, and neutrality and stressed the importance of books in academic circles. Critics focused on the contribution of this book to the ethnographic study of digital media and its relevance to the understanding of modern media platforms.


In general, "good cooperation" is not only a book that records the history of Wikipedia but also a book that stimulates thought. We offer a deep insight into the society, culture, and moral aspects of collaborative knowledge production in the digital age. As a person interested in digital culture and online community, it is a book that deepens my understanding of the complexity of maintaining and developing projects such as Wikipedia. This book is not only valuable academic material but also a persuasive story of collective effort and cultural innovation.

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...

How to make sure content you add to Wikipedia is not a copyright violation?—— LI MENGRU

1.Summary Firstly, we can use as much content as possible that is clearly released under free copyright licenses or is in the public domain. This content is typically available on dedicated free material websites, such as Wikimedia Commons, Pixabay, Unsplash, and others. Doing so can help avoid copyright disputes and ensure that the content we add is lawful. Secondly, if we wish to use others' work on Wikipedia, we must reach out to the copyright holders and request permission. This may require communication with the authors or copyright owners and obtaining written permission or usage agreements. Only after obtaining authorization can we use these works on Wikipedia. Additionally, we can choose to create our own original content and add it to Wikipedia. This not only helps avoid copyright issues but also contributes new and valuable content to Wikipedia. We can generate original content through independent research, interviews, or creation to enrich Wikipedia's information res...

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...
