Reading 12 --- WANG HANPING

1. Summary

Fortunately, while unavoidable, one can substantiate the notion of “Web 2.0” by focusing on user-generated content . Clay Shirky, in Here Comes Everybody, argues we are moving from a model of “filter then publish” toward “publish then filter”; filtering before was by publishers, today it is by one’s peers. This seems to be the most important feature of “2.0,” one represented by Craigslist postings, Amazon book reviews, blog entries, and Wikipedia articles. The production of content by Shirky’s “everybody” or Wikipedia’s “anyone” is what Wikipedia’s collaborative culture facilitates and what its critics lament.


2. Interesting point

Amazon's book reviews, blog entries, Wikipedia articles, all have common features.The concept of web2.0 is well illustrated here.


3. Discussion

How can we filter out content that doesn't conform to Wikipedia's rules more effectively in the now-transformed "post-filter" model?

Reading 12: Wikipedia:Article development- CAI XIAOHUA

(1) Summary  Many categories of these pages can let us understand how to grow in Wikipedia.This page describes all stages of life and lists the methods we can help the article grow into the next stage.  The DYK section showcases new or expanded articles that are selected through an informal review process.   （2）Interesting point  DYK is not: A smaller-scale version of either featured content or good articles, though selected good articles do appear in the DYK box. Articles must meet the basic criteria set out on this page but do not have to be of very high quality. As DYK's main purpose is to showcase new and improved content, it is not expected that articles appearing on DYK would be considered among the best on Wikipedia. (3)Discussion After understanding these contents, what do you think the most important point of the article is?

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
