1) Categorization is to organize documents by subject so that related documents can be easily found, and to prevent duplicate documents from being created. The basic principle of categories is to select the appropriate category and use consistent naming conventions. For example, the subject category should be singular and the collective category should be plural. You should select categories that accurately reflect the contents of the document, be careful not to use too many categories, and clearly describe the criteria for documents to be included in the category. The Wikipedia page explains the categorization policies and procedures in this way to help with the efficient classification of documents.


2) The Wikipedia page provides very well-organized detailed guidelines for classifying documents in a systematic manner, helping contributors to classify documents consistently. This makes it easier for readers to find relevant information and clarify the associations between documents. It is also impressive to ensure that classification does not occur according to subjective or controversial standards, by emphasizing verifiability and a neutral perspective. This is important to increase Wikipedia's credibility.


3) The guidelines are so detailed and complex that they can be burdensome for new users or less experienced contributors. To compensate for this, it would be great if a simpler summary or a guide that only covers the key points could be added. Also, since this article is geared towards English Wikipedia, consideration should be given to whether it is also applicable to other versions of Wikipedia or users from various cultural backgrounds. The addition of examples or guidelines that reflect different languages and cultures would be useful for Wikipedia in other languages.

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...

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...
