W7 /Good Faith Collaboration / Lee Hayoung

The book talks about Wikipedia's success factors. There is good faith and cooperation at its core. This success was possible because of good-will-based cooperation. Of course, as can be seen from the encyclopedia anxiety previously addressed, groups of amateurs lacking authority also cause instability. The book introduces Wikipedia, which has various shortcomings but also has powerful advantages. The value of cooperation emphasized by Wikipedia has been shown through these lectures. We also came to think about the consequences of poor cooperation. We will continue to make efforts for cooperation based on good will.

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.

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...

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...

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...
