Reading 15. GeonwooLee

 I learned quite a lot about Wikipedia during this semester. From Wikipedia's identity, I learned various editing techniques and various functions in Wikipedia. Wikipedia provides information on a variety of topics, and is continuously updated and extended by voluntary contributions from users. Wikipedia operates on a community-based basis, with countless users writing, editing, and translating documents and sharing knowledge around the world. One of the key features of Wikipedia is that users are free to contribute. Anyone can sign up, create documents, or edit existing documents, and share personal knowledge and interests. Of course, in order to maintain reliability and neutrality, Wikipedia has a strict editorial policy and review process. Users strive to improve and expand documents through modification and review by other contributors. In terms of Wikipedia editing technology, I remember writing the article itself, adding photos, reviewing and adding references, and peer reviews. When I first practiced editing techniques, I doubted whether I could help Wikipedia's information and culture. So I tried to edit it in a more objective and good way. I've been thinking about replacing a reference that's either lost or of unknown origin, and I've even posted pictures that don't have copyright issues. The most memorable editing technique is setting up a wiki internal link. Because it felt special because it was the culture of Wiki itself.


The Wikipedia editing task has several differences from the traditional student assignments. The editing task focuses on document creation or modification and requires research and source verification on the subject. Traditional student assignments, on the other hand, often require more in-depth research, analysis, and logical arguments on a given subject. I found Wikipedia editing assignments more interesting than regular student assignments. The Wikipedia editing task was interesting in that it actually gives the pleasure of participating in the process of sharing knowledge and helping others understand, and that individual contributions can be known worldwide and help users. Of course, it was a little burdensome for everyone to be able to check the comments or edits I posted. Still, it was a good experience to get new information in the process. As a result, I was interested in the process of sharing personal knowledge on Wikipedia and collaborating with others to create a global information website. Thank you for this semester.

 1. Summary The article argues that understanding Wikipedia requires appreciating its community and collaborative culture, but also recognizing the challenges it faces from personal differences and external threats. Despite its collaborative nature, Wikipedia has been shaped by authorial leadership, with an informal benevolent dictator guiding the community and mediating disputes. However, this leadership role can be challenging to balance, as new responsibilities and authority may arise. The article uses examples, such as Sanger's reflections on his departure from the community and discussions about Wales's role, to illustrate the delicate balance of leadership in the Wikipedia community. 2. Interesting As an AI language model, I do not have personal opinions, but I can identify some points that may be interesting to readers. One interesting point is how the author describes the culture and community of Wikipedia and how it has been shaped by authorial leadership. The idea of ...

  1. Summary After reading this article, I understand that Wikipedia articles must have reliable sources, and the opinions in the sources should be neutral. Articles should be based on reliable, independent, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. This means that we publish only the analysis, views, and opinions of reliable authors, and not those of Wikipedians who have read and interpreted primary source material for themselves. 2. Interesting points News headlines—including subheadlines—are not a reliable source.  I think this is important because some news headlines are written to grab the reader's attention quickly and briefly; their news content may be exaggerated or lack context, and even sometimes contain sensational claims. 3. Discussion points Do you know how to test reliable sources?
