Blogging through Wikipedia (2023)

 During the semester, as I edited Wikipedia, I gained a deeper understanding of the Wikipedia system. I realized that Wikipedia is not just a static encyclopedia that provides information, but a dynamic community that evolves through the contributions of people from all over the world. At the same time, I learned various editing techniques, guidelines to follow, and the internal evaluation system. In particular, the project emphasizes the encyclopedia's identity and has established clear guidelines for editing. The true nature of Wikipedia, which I had thought was simply a project listing information, brought about a different sense of emotion through the lectures. Throughout the lectures, my participation in the weekly assignment of editing Wikipedia mainly involved adding references. Apart from creating a few new articles and adding images, all of my edits focused on adding references. I concentrated on adding supporting materials to validate the information in the documents, bel...

 1. Summary Wikipedia's DYK project sheds light on articles that have recently been created or expanded on existing articles. The project aims to encourage contributors to produce high-quality documents by highlighting high-quality articles. In addition to producing articles, this process includes verifying that articles meet certain criteria, such as complying with Wikipedia's policies. Articles that pass the validation are listed in the DYK section of Wikipedia Main.  This article preaches the importance of hooks to encourage readers to read documents. The operator can propose multiple hooks and select the most interesting hooks. In other words, when listed in DYK, it introduces more readers and editors into the document, improving the accuracy of the article and promoting collaboration between editors. In other words, participating in DYK helps both the Wikipedia community and editors. 2.Interesting DYK is listed on the main page of Wikipedia, increasing editors' desire ...

 1. Summary The Wikipedia Categorization page provides guidelines and recommendations for categorizing Wikipedia articles. Categories are used to classify articles and help users easily navigate related content. The category guidelines include the importance of maintaining a consistent classification structure, meaningful grouping, limiting overlapping categories, using specific names, and considering the scope and purpose of categories. It also suggests solutions for issues related to article categorization, such as adding subcategories or separate categories when a single document covers multiple topics, and proposes the use of automation tools for category classification and regular reviews to maintain category accuracy. In other words, the Wikipedia category page provides editors with effective methods for categorizing articles, contributing to the overall quality of Wikipedia. 2. Interesting In general, it is interesting not only to classify articles, but also to create separa...

 1.Summary This document provides guidelines and recommendations for creating and improving Wikipedia articles. It is designed to help editors contribute to the production of reliable articles. It emphasizes the importance of reliable sources and verifiability, and suggests creating summaries with a more comprehensive structure. It also proposes ways to enhance articles through the use of source citations throughout the article, appropriate article length, and the inclusion of media files such as images and charts. Various guidelines are provided to assist in these aspects. Overall, this document covers various aspects of the article development process, starting with the summary, with the goal of creating articles that meet Wikipedia's standards. 2. Interesting It is interesting to select feature articles through a vote of individual participants, not by some management. 3. Discussion Do you think there is a way to improve the article other than what is presented in the document?

 1. Summary Wikimedia Commons is a website that stores and hosts all types of media files, including images, videos, and sounds, except for text. Anyone can participate, and all content is licensed under a license that allows for modification and redistribution. Therefore, this site is a great resource for providing high-quality media files for personal projects. The FAQ page provides users with various information on how to upload files, search for content, and use advanced features on the site. At the same time, it also provides guidelines for using various types of licenses and materials correctly when using them in projects. In addition, it promotes the free exchange of information and ideas regardless of age or gender. 2. Interesting point What's interesting is that it's a free site that uses or provides media files for commercial purposes. Within this site, individuals do not have to worry about getting involved in copyright disputes. In addition, Wikipedia's licensin...

 1. Summary The remix culture is a term that describes the practice of recombining existing media to create new works, encompassing everything from music to literature, and is fueled by technology. Although the concept of remix has a long history, remix culture has become widespread primarily after the advent of digital technology and the internet. One of the key features of remix culture is that it blurs the boundaries between creators and consumers. Anyone can become a creator by reworking existing media, which could lead to the democratization of culture, but at the same time, it has sparked debates over intellectual property rights and copyright laws. Advocates of remix culture argue that remixing is also a form of creation, while opponents claim that remixing is a copyright infringement and causes harm to the original copyright holders. Despite such controversies, remix culture is thriving, and social media has accelerated individual participation in remixing. Overall, remix c...

 1. Summary The free culture movement is rooted in the belief that content should be freely available to everyone. This movement originated from the free software movement in the 1980s and expanded in the 1990s to apply the same principles to cultural content such as music and literature, in addition to software. The free culture movement is associated with the Creative Commons license, which provides a legal infrastructure for creators to share their work under more lenient conditions than traditional copyright law. Advocates of the free culture movement argue that copyright law suppresses creativity and innovation and benefits large corporations at the expense of artists, while critics argue that without copyright protection, the quality and diversity of creative works would decline. 2. Interesting point Among the contents introduced in this document, Richard Stallman's copyright system is interesting. It was classified into works that could be used practically, works that repres...

 1.Summary Wikipedia plays a culturally important role, but as an open platform, not only verified documents but also false documents with the intention of deceiving others are produced in large quantities. This movement started with Stephen Colbert, who used the neologism "Wikiality," which is a term that ridicules the idea that the truth of a Wikipedia document is established by consensus rather than factual accuracy. Following this, as many users created false information in Wikipedia documents, the operators took measures to restrict editing by new accounts. Such deception continues to exist to the point where "List of hoaxes on Wikipedia" exists, and if false documents are not caught early on, they can persist for a long time. 2.Interesting It's very interesting to form and archive a list of false documents, not just delete them. and  The meaning of "wikiality" used by critics of Wikipedia is interesting. Colbert criticized Wikipedia users for bel...

1. Summary I edited a document about Lake County Sheriff's Office (Florida) this week. I added the current information for 2023 and added the source to sentences with no source. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lake_County_Sheriff%27s_Office_%28Florida%29&diff=1150645135&oldid=1082400851&diffmode=visual 2. Interesting The Lake County Sheriff's office in Florida has learned that it may be the most advanced sheriff's office among the 3100 sheriff's offices across the United States. They obtained simultaneous certification from the American Correctional Association (ACA), the  National Commission on Correction Health Care (NCCHC) , and the  Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) , with only 44 sheriff's offices holding all three certifications. I think this authentication tells us how good their system is. 3.Discussion There are about 3,100 sheriff's offices throughout the United States. Is it a problem that only 44 o...

 1. Summary According to the GFC book, Wikipedia is not just an encyclopedia, but also a community. In other words, the roots of the well-intentioned community culture are realized through Wikipedia, which has lasted for more than 100 years. With the advent of the Internet, free and open access to information has accelerated, and Wikipedia continues to grow and thrive on this technological foundation. Many voluntary participants are developing through collaboration assuming a neutral perspective and good faith. These rules eliminate inefficient discussions and protect the integrity of the article. Participants are also promoting a culture of cooperation by informing others that they act in good faith. However, despite these rules, there are trolls that interfere with the work, and the author Riggle provides several theories to solve them. 2.  I nteresting point  The birth and settlement process of Wikipedia is very interesting. Especially in that many derivative projects ...

 1.   I replaced some of the references based on unreliable sources or information with references based on trustworthy sources. This also includes adding similar articles as references when the original sources are no longer available due to the deletion of news articles. In addition, when a YouTube video is the original source of a reference, I changed it to the source of another video site. This link is part of my work of changing the sources https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%28G%29I-dle_videography&diff=1147910886&oldid=1128708603&diffmode=visual 2. I learned that YouTube is considered an unreliable source on Wikipedia, but I cannot find the exact reason for this. However, I speculate that it may be because of the proliferation of fake news and manipulated videos on YouTube, which could compromise the overall credibility of sources. 3. Do you think YouTube's credibility can be restored? If so, why?

 1.Summary explains leadership in the Wikipedia community through the examples of Wales and Sanger. Wales demonstrated leadership through four factors: humility, politeness, patience and willingness to apologise. In the case of Saeng-eo, he was an unofficial manager of Wikipedia, but the same role no longer exists after he left the organization. This is because with the growth of Wikipedia, we have learned that voting by a large number of communities results in better results than by a small number of managers. The irony of the open community is that Wales has been labeled a benevolent dictator, even though he has handed over a number of his powers to the board. 2.Interesting point It is interesting to be called a dictator due to the nature of the open community, even though the founder has formed a board of directors so that he can proceed with voting, a democratic process, without holding power. 3.Discussion Currently, Wikipedia makes decisions through discussion and voting. Don'...

 1. Summary Wikipedia is an open content community. As long as you have the identity of an open content community, open content provision and its accompanying core values automatically function as the core values of Wikipedia. These subvalues include transparency, integrity, non-discriminatory, and non-interference. But being open creates conditions that paradoxically threaten openness.  Anyone's ability to edit is a major factor in successfully building Wikipedia projects, but on the contrary, attempts to undermine Wikipedia also work on these systems. As a result, project managers often take limited action (for example, IP blocking). It also creates a closed private community that is ironic but differentiated from Wikipedia, an open project. Typically, there is a group of women who discuss gender bias-based editing within Wikipedia. Unfortunately, Wikipedia is not the only problem with this gender bias. In early encyclopedias, women only had shorter references than men, and ...

 1. Summary Wikipedia is based on internationalist ideologies such as Otlet and Wells. Although projects based on internationalist ideology during the 20th century failed due to the limitations of the times, it is said that they have greatly influenced the formation of Wikipedia today. In addition to its ideological base, Wikipedia can be said to have been significantly influenced by previous technologies. It is the Xanadu Project and the Gutenberg Project. The former implemented hyperlinks for the first time, and the Gutenberg project realized an ideal similar to Wikipedia by implementing e-books. Through these results, Wikipedia has started as a project that makes "the sum of all human knowledge" accessible to everyone, and to date, it can be said that more than that has been properly maintained. In other words, Wikipedia is the result of realizing a 100-year vision as a reality, and it proves that the implementation of intellectual works that everyone can access is never a...
