W9. Wikipedia's culture & Wikipedia in culture / Lee Se Hyun


Summary

As Wikipedia grew, Wikipedia was mentioned in various cultural areas. This article shows Wikipedia referenced in various areas. There are no restrictions in the cultural realm of comedy, music, magazines, clothing, cartoons, literature, mail, news and television. It also appears in politics. Wikipedia references in various areas prove that Wikipedia has a lot of influence on society.  These comments about Wikipedia coexist with praise and criticism. For example, in Simpson, the character Lisa tries to learn more by using Wikipedia after discovering the witch's Coven. This shows Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that is familiar and accessible to people and has high information diversity. This speaks of Wikipedia's strengths. Also in the BBC News Quiz, Alan Coren mentioned the mistakes he made in Wikipedia, which shows Wikipedia's chronic problems.

Interesting point

Unlike Korea, it was amazing that Wikipedia has a great influence in Western society. In Korea, Wikipedia is not very popular. It does not receive attention in various fields such as TV programs, media, and fashion. So why is Korea different from Western society? As I mentioned before, over a long period of time, Wikipedia's culture and mismatches would have occurred, familiarizing itself with rewards for providing information like Naver Knowledgein, presenting a cooperative model. My argument was proved in Korean academic papers. I also think that Wikipedia is unpopular because of its low readability. If you look at Korean Internet sites, they value high readability. seek design excellence and high readability On the other hand, Wikipedia doesn't think it has high readability. Koreans who have become accustomed to high readability have become less likely to prefer Wikipedia, resulting in a low utilization rate.

Question

What should Wikipedia do to fully settle down in Korean society?

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 ...
