W9. Wikipedia Culture & Wikipedia in Culture - Youngryun,Chun

1. Summary


I explored Wikipedia holidays among the categories of Wikipedia culture. Wikipedia Holiday is a day designated by Jimbo Wales to honor those who have made important contributions to Wikipedia.
First of all, Brion Vibber's Day is on June 1, and celebrates the work of Brion Viber, the developer of Wikipedia. It started in 2004, and was created with people appreciating his project. Justin Knapp's Day was designated April 20. It was created to celebrate Justin Knapp's 1 million edits and allow many people to learn.
Magnus Mansuke's Day is also Jan. 25, which commemorates the day when Wikipedia was converted into second-phase software in 2002. This transition has come as important to Wikipedia, and it is the day Wikipedia meets a new era of software. Oct. 31 is Team Starling Day. Tim Staring provided Wikipedia with a new algorithm, which made people convenient.



Wikipedia is used not only as an encyclopedia but also as a character characteristic and cultural factor. In the comedy show, the newly coined word "wikality" using Wikipedia's characteristics appeared. People said the word was more of a consensus-based truth than a fact. Wikipedia's information is defined through people's opinions, so intuition and empathy reflect reality rather than facts. Wikipedia has been used and appeared in various contents such as other movies, literature, and music.



2. What interesting


What I felt most about Wikipedia's culture was that Wikipedia is not just an encyclopedia. In particular, I was surprised that I explored Wikipedia's holiday and contain not only heavy and not serious content, but also various and light content. Wikipedia's holiday was very fresh.



3. Discussion


I wonder how Wikipedia will be used in the content business in the future.

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...

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.

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...
