W2. extra credit: How organization use Wiki? / Dayoung Ryu 류다영


There are only few organizations use Wiki for some reasons, because people think using or utilizing Wiki is quite inappropriate. In collective intelligence class, we work on Wiki, but it Is hard to cite Wikipedia for my report, work, and thesis. We know that Wikipedia has proper references but still references from books, academic journals, and official web pages.

However, there is a project to utilize Wiki. The thesis from Korean Cultural Convergence Society suggests writing course of humanities departments with Wiki. In this thesis, we can read what is digital humanity education and possibility of Wiki to connect education and research areas.

In this case, the author says that through Content of key words of Archeology lecture, she could check again about educational effect of Wiki. The lecture divided four steps, and each step has main work theme that is ‘finding classic genre’, ‘drawing connection’, ‘writing key words’, and ‘writing digital sentences.’ She was noticed that Wiki made student can work collaboratively and self-directly. Sharing students’ knowledge had also good effect on students, because most of student was satisfied about that and proud of that. Students had responsibilities for their works.

It is good news for everyone. We don’t need boss or work alone person these days. We have share, find, and collaborate our ideas and knowledge. It is different from gathering ideas. We have responsibility to develop each idea and connect it another. Well, It might be a bad new to people who like work alone, just like me, but still it could be good because it gives us several chances to me to know others thoughts and views that develop my skills.

WK 5.2 The Benevolent Dictator - Hanane Ben Abdeslam

In the reading it starts with the example of a “Neo-Nazi” dictator, it didn’t say when it exactly happened but I think it was during World War I and II. This dictator just did what he wanted to do, locking articles down, ban people, and protecting their own reputation and integrity. Actually, for someone to have that much power by a community founder is not unique to Wikipedia. Such leaders are often found in a project around, which a community develops, or otherwise emerge from a leaderless context by way of merit. However, Wikipedia is not an anarchy, democracy, nor a monarchy. Because of the voluntary and meritocratic character of open content communities it is not surprising that leaders are expected to lead by example as their very leadership is founded upon exemplary behavior. This means that leadership emerges through action rather than appointment. The prominent leader of an open content community is sometimes characterizing as a benevolent dictator. This is a variation on a t...

W2. What is Wikipedia - Seungju Lee

Summary Wikipedia is a multilingual online encyclopedia as an collaboration project. It isn't made by one people. Anyone can write and share information. It is maintained by non profit organizations. It is the largest and most popular  general reference work on the World Wide Web, and is one of the 20 most popular websites. Diverse information can be found in encyclopedia. Interesting point Wikipedia is made by group. All people in group can share their own information. Not only expert, but also anyone who have interest in topic, they can participate in make dictionary. I had a negative opinion about this in past, because this can affect on accuracy of information. But, after I realized that  this is "collaboration" project, many people can give a feedback to writers who post wrong information. So I could change my mind that that kind of feedback make good circulation on advance of wikipedia. And also it is collaboration project,  so I think variety of informat...

W7. Good Faith Collaboration / Kim Seon Woo

Summary   Wikipedia's culture includes the topics of Wikipedia and the Wikipedia community, Joseph M. Reagle Jr. The 2010 book. This book was first published on August 27, 2010 through MIT Press and has a preface to Lawrence Lessig.   This book is an ethnographic study of Wikipedia's history, practical and theoretical pioneers, and culture, including consensus and collaboration practices. This book is described as a pioneering ethnographic study of Wikipedia culture. Reagle's main paper was summed up with the claim that "Wikipedia's success may be less technical than the results of Wikipedia's community and their cultural norms." Interesting Point It is interesting to discuss Wikipedia's fundamental principle of operation, 'cooperation'. Wikipedia, which can be seen as an integral part of modern technology, would not be possible without cooperation. Discussion Does Wikipedia only have cooperation? How should conflict ...
