W12. Article development / Juhee Cha

1.Summary The quality of Wikipedia articles is evaluated. The rating of Wikipedia articles has certain rules. There are Uncreated articles, Stubs, Developing articles, Featured articles, and so on the list. Most articles in Wikipedia can be called stubs or developing artics. But it means that these are fully viable. The Featured Article is what we believe is the best article in Wikipedia. It shall include prose, accuracy, neutrality, and completeness. So what efforts should be made to develop an article into a better grade? The quality of articles can be improved by quoting research-related articles, such as writing well-founded articles, writing an outline for others, putting in appropriate images, referring to encyclopedias in different languages, and evaluating other people. 2.Interesting Point When I looked at the activity history on the outreachdashboard, I often saw them rated for article editing. Every time I thought about editing my article that the system of grading wa...

W12. Editing articles - Gyongmin Moon, 문경민

Although Wikipedia introduces itself to be an open and free content that anyone can edit, it doesn't mean that it can be formed whatever the editors like it to be. It has a certain rule for how an article should look like to get a high classification of the article's quality on assessments. But, even though those rules are clearly written and suggested to all the Wikipedians, it is hard to match up all the points that Wikipedia requests to an article. Consequently, a relatively high number of articles are classified as stubs or start-level, which is the first and the second-lowest article quality rank in Wikipedia. But this doesn't mean that achieving the higher level is impossible. After all, Wikipedia is a place where you work with everyone else in the world. Help others on what you are good at, and receive help from others on what they are good at. By keeping this up, there are no articles bad enough to remain at the bottom level forever. Before this week, I thought th...

WK 12.2 Article development

Some of Wikipedia’s articles are comprehensive right from the outset, but most start off as stubs and ideally grow into well-written, comprehensive articles with time. Every article starts with an idea in the mind of a contributor. You can create articles about anything, as long as they belong in Wikipedia. However, before you start, it is helpful to read the guidelines and tutorials on creating new articles to get an idea of what you should consider, such matters as the scope, format, and references, in a Wikipedia article. If you don’t have the time to write a full article, consider writing a ‘stub’. Stubs are very short articles, generally just a few sentences. Once a stub has real content, it is a real article and the article’s stub templates can be removed. The vast majority of articles fall into this category. They may have weaknesses, so you are encouraged to copyedit them and, where you have the knowledge or do the necessary research, to add content. Last but not least, to dev...

W11. Creative Commons / Lee Se Hyun

Summary It is a global nonprofit organization that can share and reuse creativity and knowledge by providing free legal tools. They help people who want to reuse their work. Share the reproduction of work and legally help ensure reproduction. In other words, it can be said to be a knowledge-sharing organization. They provide a license called CC. They do more than provide copyright licenses. It guarantees works legally and technically and has a profound impact on the distribution of works through the media. There is criticism that it violates copyright, but CC does not infringe copyright. Rather, CC is a type of copyright qualification, and those who want to use and distribute their own works to the public are helped by CC. Wikipedia also has a WC of the same nature as CC. This is a non-profit volunteer like Wikipedia. They are providers of content, acceptors, and can distribute their own creations that do not violate copyrights, and can use them at no cost. Unlike CC, WC is not a typ...

The development of the media and the Internet has flourished the remix culture, and the nature of the remix culture h...

Week 11 | Creative Commons | Lee Jaeseong

1. Summary Creative Commons is a global nonprofit organization that enables sharing and reuse of creativity and knowledge through the provision of free legal tools. CC licenses are copyright licenses, and depend on the existence of copyright to work. Copyright  grants to creators a bundle of exclusive rights over their creative works, which generally include, at a minimum, the right to reproduce, distribute, display, and make adaptations.  Creative Commons is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice or legal services. The CC buttons are a shorthand way to convey the basic permissions associated with material offered under CC licenses. 2. Interesting Point I've seen a lot of Internet community postings with marks that explain here, but I didn't know exactly what they were doing. This document gives us a sense of what the mark is doing. 3. Discussion All writings, paintings, etc. are copyrighted. Do you agree with the Creative Commons movement?

W11. Creative Commons - Woojin Jeong

Summary Creative Commons is a global nonprofit organization enabling sharing and reuse of creativity and knowledge through the provision of free legal tools.  Creative Commons is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice or legal services. CC is similar to a self-help service that offers free, form-based legal documents for others to use. Moreover Creative Commons not only  provides copyright licenses  but also offers other legal and technical tools that also facilitate sharing and discovery of creative works. Interesting/Learned I was surprised and grateful that CC had a good influence on the expansion and development of creations on the Internet. I've never known there is great way to use reused contents legally with cc. Discuss Is there any other organization or community which provides legal service like CC?
