The importance of using reliable sources in Wikipedia articles is mainly reflected in the following aspects:


First, reliable sources are the cornerstone of ensuring the accuracy of information. As an openly edited encyclopedia, the accuracy and credibility of Wikipedia's content are crucial. By using reliable sources, such as authoritative publications, academic papers, official documents, etc., we can ensure that the information in the article has a reliable basis and reduce the appearance of erroneous and misleading information.


Second, reliable sources can enhance the authority and credibility of articles. In knowledge dissemination and academic exchanges, authority and credibility are important criteria for evaluating the quality of an article. By using reliable sources that have been rigorously reviewed and widely recognized, the authoritative status of the article in the minds of readers can be enhanced, making it more persuasive and credible.


In addition, reliable sources also help promote the updating and advancement of knowledge. With the continuous development of scientific research and academic fields, new knowledge and discoveries are constantly emerging. By using the latest reliable sources, Wikipedia can keep up with the times, timely reflect the latest developments and research results in the academic community, and provide readers with the latest and most comprehensive knowledge information.


Finally, using reliable sources is also a reflection of maintaining Wikipedia's editing guidelines and community norms. Wikipedia has strict editorial guidelines and community norms, requiring editors to adhere to the principles of neutrality, objectivity, and accuracy when writing articles. By using reliable sources, we can ensure that articles meet these guidelines and norms and maintain Wikipedia's reputation and status as a reliable knowledge platform.


In summary, the use of reliable sources in Wikipedia articles is important for ensuring information accuracy, enhancing article authority and credibility, promoting knowledge updates and progress, and maintaining editorial guidelines and community norms. Therefore, when editing Wikipedia articles, we should always focus on using reliable sources to ensure the quality and credibility of the 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

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
