Week 4 | Reading | Lee Jaeseong


Summary
Chapter 3
Collaboration exists between other related concepts such as conflict resolution and conflict management. In this article, we say “collaboration is the process of shared creation”.

In principle, the Wikipedia norm has three levels of authority. (Essay, unofficial pages, viable norms)
Wikipedia requires quality of information. Wikipedia should be written from a neutral point of view (NPOV) Wikipedia is free content that anyone can edit. In Wikipedia, the 'good faith’ is important. Also, Wikipedia has no mandatory rules.

Chapter 4
Trolls are the driving force behind Wikipedia. The worst trolls are often the best editors. Wikipedia, whether you log in or not, has access to editing, and a lot of editorial engagement will help make a great encyclopedia.
This chapter tells stories about the open content community. Also mentioning FOSS. In other words, this chapter talks about the openness of Wikipedia. Wikipedia is a leading open content community. The characteristics of this are as follows.
1. Open Content: Contents available under license
2. Transparency: Provide processes, rules, decisions and grounds
3. Integrity: Ensuring process integrity and participant contribution
4. Nondiscrimination: No discrimination against the community
5. Noninterference: “The core of openness”


Intersting Point
Wikipedia really has a lot of information. The source was an open content community. Through this reading, I realized that what anyone can use and edit is the key to the success of modern Wikipedia. In addition, Wikipedia sees those who write false information, also called "trolls," as never bad. It's called Good Faith. In my case, I think these trolls might be a little upset. In that sense, Wikipedia seems quite generous.


Discussion
What do you think about Wikipedia Trolls? I don't think it's easy to look positive even if they edit with good intentions. After all, Wikipedia is an "an encyclopedia" using collective intelligence and accurate information delivery comes first.

However, it is certain that such editorial efforts will create more information. What do you think?

    I totally agree that good editors can create more information, just like collective intelligence.

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...

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...

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...
