Summary

By studying the Wikipedia article development guide, you can complete correct and higher quality writing. When you just enter the workflow, you need to pay attention to familiarizing yourself with the rules of Wikipedia article editing. For example, make sure there are no existing entries with duplicate names, ensure the accurate source of the content, and select high-quality references. It should be noted that Wikipedia advocates "investigating existing human knowledge, not a place to publish new works. Even if you can acknowledge the work you wrote through references, please do not write your original theories, opinions, and insights in the entry. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the neutrality of the edited content and the objectivity of the source.At the same time, when editing articles, you can use pictures to improve the quality of the article. However, it should be noted that works that are only allowed to be reprinted on Wikipedia and pictures that are prohibited from commercial use cannot be used to edit Wikipedia, otherwise it is easy to cause infringement problems, which is an illegal act.In ensuring neutrality In terms of sex, you should also be careful not to promote specific political, religious and other viewpoints. In terms of improving the relevance of articles, choosing link pages and page categories can increase the exposure of articles and make them easier for more people to access.


Interesting point

In Wikipedia, it is not allowed to promote companies or other commercial purposes through articles. Therefore, even if there are articles about these companies on the platform, they are written by third parties to ensure neutrality and non-commerciality.


Question

    When editing an article in Wikipedia, in addition to setting up relevant links, you can also categorize the article into appropriate Wikipedia categories to make it easier for readers to find relevant content through the categories. And you can also actively participate in Wikipedia projects related to the topic of the article to get support and help from the community, as well as to bring more attention to the article.

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

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
