W9. Wikipedia culture & Wikipedia in culture Wikipedia is a website of information, an important example of collective intelligence, and has become a new culture beyond just encyclopedia. As we read in Wikipedia cultures:meetup page, so many groups are connected in Wikipedia. Also there are tons of word that teach us. In Western culture, people follow the openness of Wikipedia, or criticize, and compare it to something else: for example, their own intelligence. The characters from TV shows and dramas sometimes quote or use Wikipedia. In the book, criticism about Wikipedia appears. The word that means Wikipedia as “culture” is probably ‘Wikiality’, and it was made by Stephen Colbert in satirical comedy show “Colbert Report” in 2006. But in fact, Stephen recommended doing negative things to Wikipedia, and in the end, articles about Wikipedia’s elephants and Africa turned inaccurate. Not only this case.

Summary Wikipedia constantly raises questions about reliability. Several studies have secured Wikipedia's overall reliability, but the question of reliability still exists. This problem stems from the characteristics of Wikipedia. Wikipedia will be co-edited for non-professionals to participate. It is highly likely that unreliable information will be provided for the general public, not experts, to become information producers. Therefore, this is why Wikipedia raises reliability issues even though it has an amazing ability to modify information compared to other encyclopedias. Wikipedia encourages the use of reliable sources to enhance the reliability of information It defines and specifies reliable sources. Ignoring Wikipedia's kind explanation, information that deviates from Wikipedia's policy may result in a penalty of blacklist registration.

Opinion This book covers the whole of Wikipedia. By analyzing the history of cooperation before Wikipedia, the appearance and progress of Wikipedia, we list the reasons and causes of Wikipedia's successful system and its unique characteristics. The most interesting thing about this book was the nature of Wikipedia's system. Wikipedia, where anyone can participate, has many systems to maintain its collaborative nature.

It is more difficult for Wikipedia than for traditional encyclopedias. Different views lead to a strong debate. Wikipedia effectively manages these disputes. It forms a voluntary culture to resolve the issue peacefully through discussion, to make decisions through voting, and to coordinate conflicts through managers (mediators). Problems are...
