W11. Commons / Juhee Cha

1. Summary
  Creative Commons is a global nonprofit organization that provides free legal tools, shares creativity and knowledge, and can be reused. This is best known for licenses, but extends beyond providing copyright licenses. CC provides tools to centralize public areas for copyright owners before the copyright ends and to show work in public areas around the world. The CC license is a copyright license and varies depending on whether there is a copyright to operate. CC licenses are legal tools generally available to authors and other rights holders to provide specific rights to use, and other rights can be reserved. Creative Commons recognize the need to revise copyright laws, and many members of the Creative Commons community are actively participating in the copyright reform movement. The following are the licenses to be used for files that upload Wikipedia: All files uploaded must be under a shared domain or a free license such as the GNU Free Documentation License or CCBYCCBYSA. You can upload free-of-charge approved media files, such as images, sounds, and videos.

2. Interesting Point
  I thought Wikipedia was working hard to increase the credibility of this program and make it legally free. I think CC is part of their efforts. Some say Wikipedia is completely free, but in fact Wikipedia maintains order in its policies. The issue of copyright to the media is also their order. We will maintain order by only distributing or distributing licensed materials symbolizing reliability.

3. Discussion
  What efforts can we make to use images that can give appropriate licenses, without copyright issues?

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 ...
