Reading3 MA YUXUAN

 Summary:

This article explores the advantages and disadvantages of the "openness" features of Wikipedia. The author discusses the five open characteristics: open content, transparency, integrity, nondiscrimination, and noninterference. They emphasize that open communities provide opportunities for learning, sharing, and innovation. However, the open environment also leads to controversies and disagreements, which pose challenges for maintaining a balanced and constructive community.


Interesting point:

Wikipedia has provided a platform for minorities and disadvantaged groups to freely discuss their identities, interests, and needs, allowing them to voice their opinions and challenge the mainstream. This inclusivity and openness are significant aspects of Wikipedia.


Discussion:

With regards to gender bias concerns, how can Wikipedia address the underrepresentation of women in authoritative positions and foster a more balanced and diverse contributor base?

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.
