Reading 4: ZENG WANTING

1) Summarize of metirals

 HG Wells argued that the "World Encyclopedia" should not only be a repository of information, but also an institution of "adjustment and adjudication", “A clearing house of misunderstandings." Wikipedia itself is of course subject to errors, some imported from the world it records, some unique to itself. In addition, political and racial differences are often reflected in Wikipedia, but there are also two opposing philosophies on Wikipedia: inclusivism and deletionism.

 Wikipedia defines consensus as "general agreement" with "no active opposition to a proposed course of action." In communities with egalitarian values and a culture of integrity, consensus certainly seems to be an appropriate way to make decisions. Moreover, this form of decision making has been at the heart of online collaboration since the dawn of the Internet. This makes Wikipedia a classic example of community decision-making in today's environment: its openness -- its lack of subject matter and time frame.

 

2）Something interesting I learned


When discussions are held in order to reach consensus on Wikipedia, even if the discussion is not completed, the user needs to come to an appropriate conclusion. Wikipedia uses polls in order to reach its conclusions, but this method is considered by some to be an impediment to consensus.

 

3）Question


 Maybe when we are editing Wikipedia, we will encounter some controversial opinions. How should we choose our side in this case?

    First of all, avoid using insulting sentences, don't make personal attacks on others, and then remember that we are here to discuss, not to argue, to argue, and not to be hostile. If you quote some information when discussing the problem, it would be better to indicate the source. Don't join cliques and form cliques when discussing. And don't take it for granted that you are the embodiment of the right, that your position is neutral. If we can't refute the other party's point of view and arguments, then you should generously admit that your point of view is wrong, and you should be happy. If your point of view prevails in the discussion, please take a hard look at whether there is merit in the other side's point of view.

  1)  Summary    Wikipedia has a long history of development and it didn't happen overnight. Wikipedia couldn't have developed without all the people who had ideas to benefit the world. Wikipedia is free and does not exist for profit. As the internet grew and became more widely used, people began to plan and build interpedia. The "sum of all human knowledge" is the ultimate goal of Wikipedia, and the World Encyclopedia is the repository of knowledge to which all humanity aspires. The "necessary conditions" for the emergence of Wikipedia 2) Interesting point   “To collect all the knowledge now scattered over the surface of the earth, to make its general structure known to those around us, and to spread it to those who come after us.”   Regardless of their wealth, social status or academic background, people have the opportunity to participate in the editing of Wikipedia, sharing their experiences or knowledge to all people through this Wikipedia that covers t

Summary of reading material 1----HE YUNONG (3.10)

  Summary of reading material 1 --HE YUNONG (하우농) 1. Summary After reading these articles, I learned more about Wikipedia. As mentioned in the article, no one would have imagined that Wikipedia could become the top website today. Before I took the course taught, I was also a person who had only heard of wiki but could not use or understand what Wikipedia was, including wiki voyage, wiki data, etc. Because I have never been taught, I am very grateful to the professor for letting me know about wiki and joining wiki. I understand that the core of wiki is a collaborative community, where many volunteers freely and voluntarily share their knowledge; Children as young as seven or eight years old and elderly people can become volunteers in wiki. One of the characteristics of wiki is that it is free and unpaid, so all wiki people don't work on wiki for money, but to love and help others. Wiki can develop into such a top-level website today without the efforts of these volunteers, and I thi
