Reading 12. Subin Jung

1. Summary

In Wikipedia, classification is a guide to how to effectively classify Wikipedia articles. Classification is the process of classifying articles by subject. Guidelines exist for this course. Highly specific, accurate, and meaningful use of category names is recommended, and ambiguous use is prohibited The guidelines emphasize the importance of using existing categories and not creating unnecessary or redundant categories. It encourages editors to categorize articles based on notable aspects and relevance, while also considering future growth potential and changes in classification.
It is also recommended that you create an article organization that is organized within a wider topic area using a category hierarchy. Emphasize the importance of consensus and collaboration among editors when making decisions about categorization, and encourage discussions to address arguments or concerns.
It also provides recommendations for creating, maintaining, and managing categories, including appropriate templates and descriptions for context and context.
These processes collectively emphasize the consistency, clarity, and usefulness of classification systems within Wikipedia.


2. Interesting/Useful Point
I could see the clarity of the classification guidelines. It was very detailed, very precise, and even very detailed, things that were prohibited and encouraged.
Emphasizing consistency, clarity, and usefulness within Wikipedia, the guidelines that we're setting to reach high goals have been pretty specific, and I think this will be useful for better results from Wikipedia.
The classification guidelines emphasize avoiding excessive classification. This means that editors are encouraged not to place articles in too many categories because they can make navigation and maintenance difficult. Overclassification can complicate categories pages and dilute the importance of each category.


3. Discussion
I think detailed classification criteria and guidelines in people's thoughts and community participation will be a good guide. However, despite these detailed criteria, if there are any improvements to be made, I wonder how it would be appropriate to accommodate the improvements.

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.

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...
