Week 3 | Reading | Lee Jaeseong

1. Summary
Wikipedia is not just an encyclopedia. This can be seen as a cultural element of collective intelligence in what is called the Neo Nazi attack.
In early 2005, Stormfront members wanted to get rid of documents on Jewish nationalism favored by white nationalists. As such, Wikipedia has sometimes been attacked by ethnic groups.
Wikipedia contains many documents in various languages, and they work on projects aimed at social cohesion.
Also, the focus of the book is Wikipedia's "Culture of Cooperation." One aspect of the universal encyclopedia view has increased the accessibility of knowledge. Wikipedia further develops this by increasing information and access to its production.

In March 2000, Wikipedia co-founder Wales hoped the encyclopedia would spread around the world within a year, including the third world. It was difficult for anyone to use the Internet freely because the Internet was not as developed as it is now. Many experts have tried to create the Universal Encyclopedia. At the center are Index Card and Microfilm. It is no exaggeration to say that their Wikipedia began in the 1900s.
Based on these efforts, Wikipedia began in 2001.

Chapter 2 contains the contents of realizing a universal vision in reaching global consensus.

2. Interesting Point
Wikipedia was simply thought to have started in the late 1990s when the Internet developed. However, after reading Chapter 2, I found that Wikipedia's origins actually run through the early 1900s. I was surprised that a variety of people wanted to make an encyclopedia of this collective intelligence.

3. Discussion
Wikipedia has written documents in various languages. This would be the same for countries called the Third World. So, is one of the purposes of Wikipedia, the "Universal Encyclopedia," a success?

    Wikipedia is a site that shares knowledge in various languages. If you look at Wikipedia's main screen, information is However, you can see that there is a large amount of knowledge in certain countries, while there is a small amount of knowledge in some countries. To be "Universal Encyclopedia", the difference in the amount of this information will have to be narrowed

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...

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.

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...

W2. What is Wikipedia? / Juhee Cha

After reading http://reagle.org/joseph/2010/gfc/foreward.html http://reagle.org/joseph/2010/gfc/preface-web.html http://reagle.org/joseph/2010/gfc/preface.html *Summary Wikipedia is a collaborative community that can freely and voluntarily make changes to the world. empower people to a wide The people who share knowledge here are not for the sake of money but for the people who love knowledge sharing itself. The data that you normally seek for knowledge is limited. These materials are difficult to produce and logically technical. But Wikipedia makes those processes simple. Wikipedia goes through the process of discussing drafts, sending comments, pointing out what is missing, and presenting ideas. *Interesting Point There was also definitely a negative perception of the Internet dictionary before taking the class. The biggest reason for this was that the public, not the 'experts', could modify it. But rather, after learning about Wikipedia's principles, I changed m...
