W14.2 June 7 (Fri) — WANG YIHUA

Summary

  The effective operation of the DYK project relies on a series of complex rules and processes, including continuous discussions, carefully selected nominations, centrally managed preparation areas, strict queue management, rotation strategies adjusted according to needs, regularly updated templates, timely error reports, and active participation and supervision by administrators. These components work together to ensure the smooth operation of the DYK project and provide strong support and promotion for the content contribution of Wikipedia.


Interesting point

  I think the interesting aspect of the DYK project is that it is not only a platform for showcasing new articles, but also a full manifestation of community participation and collaboration. In this project, editors work together to drive the continuous development of Wikipedia through activities such as nomination, discussion, review, and error reporting. DYK's rotation strategy ensures that the hook up content presented every day is fresh and diverse, bringing readers continuous surprises and fun. At the same time, DYK is also a platform for novice editors to showcase their achievements, encouraging them to bravely take the first step and contribute to the prosperity and development of Wikipedia.


Discussion 
  How does the DYK project attract more editors and readers to participate?

    Your comments and observations about the DYK project are spot on, especially your statement that DYK is indeed not just a platform for showcasing new entries, but also a reflection of community participation and collaboration. It's an illustration of how Wikipedia is not just a knowledge base, but a vibrant and interactive community. By participating in DYK, we get a sense of collaboration in the editing process, allowing us all to learn and grow from each other.

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

Weekly blog posts（Answers to the given questions）——ZHONG XIN

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
