Blogging through Wikipedia (2020)

1) Summary Trusted sources must be highly reliable in three conditions: the piece of work itself, the creator of the work, and the publisher of the work. The expression 'published' can include print, broadcast, audio and video and multimedia materials. The reliability of the source varies depending on the situation, and more people need to scrutinize the content related to the main subject and use recommendations focused on the subject. Also, the oldest report is best for historical events, but the latest information is preferred in science and technology. There are two types of sauces: primary, secondary and tertiary. Wikipedia's writings should be based on trusted secondary sources (first presented elsewhere on the subject), but third-party sources such as university materials and encyclopedias can be cited. Primary sources are often difficult to use properly and should be used with caution. 2) Interesting points / New learning points Normally, I have only considered ...

Image link ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:How_to_Spot_Fake_News.pdf ) As the saying goes, "Two heads are better than one," we've emphasized cooperation from the past. When I was in 2nd grade, while studying sociology, I was unsure about it and tried to solve it myself. Then, I discussed this with my friends and exchanged knowledge with each other. I then realized that sharing and exchanging knowledge together can produce better quality knowledge than doing it alone. At the same time, naturally, interest in "collective intelligence" began to arise. In addition, with the development of the Internet, media that can share knowledge and information such as TV and SNS and exchange and communicate each other's thoughts and opinions have increased. At the same time, fake news and poor quality information are also overflowing. So, in this class, I want to learn what is good "collective intelligence" and how to use it better.

Why are you taking this class? There are three main reasons why I take this class. First, I often use websites that use collective intelligence such as Wikipedia. I use these websites to try to get information, to be curious about the origin of an incident, or to get more information.  So, I'm interesting in collective intelligence. Second, I highly regard the potential of 'collective intelligence'. There are various people in the world. For example, suppose one likes war stories while the other likes economic stories. If these two people make a document about World War II, this document will not only describe war, but also describe the economic crisis caused by war, economic benefits and losses. If a person who likes war stories makes a document by himself, the economic story of the document will inevitably be poor. In other words, "collective intelligence" created by a variety of people expands the size of information. I took this class to think about the fut...

Why are you taking this class? An ordinary majority is better than a smart minority-James SuroWiecki In a book called "The Wisdom of Crowds," James  SuroWiecki  told t hrough experiments, the story that a combination of multiple gut feelings produces better results than one good gut feeling. Collective intelligence means more effective and greater power when the thoughts of ordinary people come together. With the advent of the Internet, it became an information age and a new type of knowledge revolution.  In the information age, information is an essential element for us to the extent that there is a power gap depending on who has access to more information.( There is even a term for information alienation.-It  means the alienation felt by people who do not have proper information in the information society. ) Human beings are made up of various members in society, and they are very diverse in perspective. Human beings are constantly sharing opinions and ...

-Summary This article explains the source that Wikipedia recognizes is reliable. The source has three definitions: The recipe of work itself, The Creator of the work, The Publisher of the work, and can get reliability according to context and age. The types of sources include Scholarship, News Organization, Vendor and e-Commerce sources, Biased or open sources. The sources that are not recognized as reliable sources include Questionable sources, Sponsored content, Self-publicized sources (online and paper) and user-generated content.  As an exception,published and questionable sources as sources on themselves, can be used as source in articles about themselves. -Interesting Point It is interesting to accept biased or opinionated sources as reliable sources.  I thought biased sources are not fair and can't be accepted as reliable sources.  So Wikipedia's policy of allowing biased or opinionated sources to show various perspectives on the subject was refreshing...

Summary In general, the more reliable sources include textbooks, official websites, professional websites and widely influential mass media etc. Although I do not often use Wikipedia.  I use Baidu more than Wikipedia in China. But I think that is should be similar. I think there are 2 points to ensure reliable sources. The first one is specific assessment source reliability. The second one is remove existing sources of unreliability. Interesting point I found that many people they compare Wikipedia with Baidu on the Internet. In short, Baidu is more oriented to China, and Wikipedia is oriented to the world. Wikipedia is more open, including permissions and information sources, but Wikipedia auditing is more accurate. The content of Baidu Encyclopedia is limited to the mainland of China, and the high authority is controlled by a few people. The source of information is strictly controlled, but the content promotion and advertising content are complex.

When people are discussing, disputing and make better something, we usually say it is collective intelligence. However, before we think a thing is ‘collective intelligence’, we need to know some conditions must be met. As I said last post (Why am I studying this class?), I think team project is based on collective intelligence. My team searched lots of information on the internet to develop the ideas of project and created something. Let’s think about ‘searching’.  When me and my team searched something, we used only major news, such as BBC, KBS, MBC, Hangyeorea, medical journals, and so on. If anyone sends a link of unreliable information, we say: “so, can we say it comes from this website to our professor?” We tried to revalidate that source and information. With this example, I can see an important condition of collective intelligence, which is ‘reliable’. According to the Wikipedia site , Wikipedia articles should be based on  reliable, published sources, m...
