W7. Reviewing my edits - Gyongmin Moon, 문경민

Let's review some of our edits. What do you find difficult? What do you find most enjoyable?

The article that I want to show you is 공유 세계관. Well, it is still written in my sandbox, but it is almost complete. It took me quite an hour to write it this much even though I had most of the citations ready. What I found most difficult is when translating from the English article to Korean article, there are many internal links to other publishment made by authors in other country and I never heard or have seen such a book, film and so on, but I need to describe how it fits into the 'shared universe'. If I just translate it in Korean, it doesn't make any sense. So I had to search for many other articles that explain such publishments.

Meanwhile, what I found enjoyable was seeing how an article made 100% by me is getting into shape more and more every week. It kind of felt like building a sandcastle when I was a kid. This is how it looked on the first week and you can see current version with the link on the top. Every time I realize the changes in my article I find myself trying to do another edit. Also, uploading a picture that you took for yourself, related to an article is also a somewhat intriguing thing to do. In this Hwamyeong-dong article, I uploaded the picture that I took with my cellphone describing the origin of Hwamyeong-dong's name. Sadly, the topics that I'm working on right now is hard to get a photo for myself, so this is actually the only picture that I uploaded in Wikipedia.

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...

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...
