Q1: How does the community choose what news to feature? 

The nominated article needs to contain high-level instructions and provide timely updates on the event's progression. The selected article must go through very important steps before it can be added. The article should include a large number of relevant linked articles, which need to be continuously updated during the course of the event. To be recognized, an event must avoid conflicts on key points, such as nationality, race, ethics, and subjective political support. The content of the article also requires high quality, with comprehensive descriptions of the subject, fluent sentences, and clear logic. The article should not primarily rely on tables for its presentation.

Q2:Is the Wikipedia news section global? 

I believe that Wikipedia's news content is global. The news section on Wikipedia is edited and published independently by volunteers. They provide factual updates on news and report events without their own subjective opinions, using a neutral perspective. Wikipedia also offers multiple languages, and each language section can see events happening in their own country. 

The recent military exercises around Taiwan Island conducted by China have also been reported in a timely manner, with ongoing updates continuing today.

Q3: Do you think Wikipedia is a good news site?

I believe that Wikipedia is a good news website that allows people to see the development of news content in a timely manner. This is because the sources cited in formal articles must be authoritative. References in qualified articles must be stable and cannot be arbitrarily changed. There are also timely updates on the development of events, and the publication of news content is subject to the support or opposition of a large number of volunteers, which continuously improves the published articles.

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

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 proprietary c
