Reading4——YE SIQI

1） Summary 

Wikipedia allows anyone to edit, and everyone can browse, create, and change the text.Wikipedia is a mixture of democracy, meritocracy and dictatorship.Usually most of the content is discussed and revised by the general public, usually in the form of democracy.At the same time, Wikipedia's system has experienced wikis as administrators responsible for removing vandals and blocking malicious vandals' accounts.On Wikipedia, anyone is usually free to create new entries and edit existing ones, and each one must be voted on to keep them, minimizing errors caused by inadequate knowledge of one or more people.

Since Wikipedia allows anyone to edit, there is no guarantee of authenticity or reliability of content; disagreements, controversies, and editorial battles will persist.For bad editing, administrators have the right to delete pages, block articles that are being destroyed, or delete insulting conversations in case of serious community disputes, and even stop violating users' editing rights.In addition, managers do not have any special powers in decision-making.


2）Interesting point

Since Wikipedia's entries are written collectively, it is impossible not to be debated during the writing process.Wikipedia does not guarantee the correctness of its content, but it usually requires an objective, neutral, third-party description of the content.In the process of editing Wikipedia, two or more editors cannot agree on an issue without merging, so they constantly alter each other's edits to maintain their own views.On the premise that the content has been agreed upon, frequent alterations and anti-falsification of entries are usually included in the scope of editorial warfare.


3）Discussion

Should we remain neutral on views that are inconsistent with conventional values?

    I think there are times when we should be neutral. When we face things or values that we don't know very well, we shouldn't draw conclusions casually. It is okay to remain neutral and then move on to understanding observations.

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
