Blogging through Wikipedia (2023)

Learning Wikipedia has been a very rewarding experience, and I have gained a lot of knowledge and insights along the way. By studying Wikipedia, I have discovered many new topics and areas that I may not have been familiar with or knew little about before. The content of Wikipedia is very comprehensive and detailed, covering all aspects of knowledge from history, science, art to geography and culture.

The editing process of Wikipedia also gave me a deeper understanding of how knowledge is generated and shared. Wikipedia content is edited and maintained by volunteer contributors who review and revise each other to ensure the information is accurate and trustworthy. This process emphasized the importance of cooperation and joint efforts, and also made me realize the continuous evolution and renewal of knowledge. In addition, studying Wikipedia has also developed my i...

Summary   The free-culture movement is a social movement that promotes the freedom to distribute and modify the creative works of others in the form of free content or open content   without compensation to, or the consent of, the work's original creators, by using the Internet and other forms of   media.The movement objects to what it considers over-restrictive copyright laws. Many members of the movement argue that such laws hinder creativity. They call this system "permission culture". Advocating a shared culture can activate creativity and innovation. Users can create in a more open copyright environment instead of a closed copyright environment. The issue of copyright is not limited to the direction of continuously strengthening protection, otherwise it is easy to go to extremes. In fact, only when copyright can be more open and shared can more people benefit.In such a relatively free social environment, knowledge and culture can be better spread and developed. Inter...

  Summary   When mentioning Wikipedia, the first thing people think of is Wikipedia, which promotes it. But in fact, the word "wiki" has a broader connotation. As a community-oriented collaborative writing tool, it exists in various fields of the Internet today. Wiki means participation, openness and cooperation. It is technology, and it also means the convergence of culture and information.References to Wikipedia in popular culture have been widespread. Wikipedia has also become culturally significant with many individuals seeing the presence of their own Wikipedia entry as a status symbol. “ According to Stephen Colbert, together "we can all create a reality that we all can agree on; the reality that we just agreed on". During the segment, he joked: "I love Wikipedia... any site that's got a longer entry on truthiness than on Lutherans has its priorities straight." Colbert also used the segment to satirize the more general issue of whether the repeti...

Summary As we all know, Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia. What makes it different from the encyclopedia we usually know is that Wikipedia, as an emerging and public online resource, allows anyone to create entries and write articles. Most of the writers are interested in related issues, of course, there are also experts and scholars among them. However, because it can be rewritten by people logging in at any time, the articles on Wikipedia are theoretically in constant change and modification. Therefore, people naturally doubt its academicity and authority.  “ Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published sources, making sure that all majority and significant minority views that have appeared in those sources are covered. If no reliable sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it. ” This is what this article wants to tell us. Wikipedia entries should rely on reliable, third-party, publicly available sources. These sources should ha...

1、 Summary   Good Faith Collaboration: The Culture of Wikipedia is a 2010 book by Joseph M. Reagle Jr. that deals with the topic of Wikipedia and the Wikipedia community. In fact, Wikipedia information should be understood not only as a statement, but also as a cooperative statement, a collective statement.Indeed, Wikipedia's information is essentially a collaborative product, modified and debated by different editors, so its reliability can be defended, at least to some extent, against traditional individual statements. The book has been described as a pioneering ethnographic study of the culture of Wikipedia. Reagle's main thesis has been summarized as the argument that "the success of Wikipedia may be less technological than a consequence of the community of Wikipedians and their cultural norms". What sets Wikipedia apart from other similar businesses is Wikipedia's culture of honest collaboration, not only in the writing and editing of articles, but also in th...

  1.  Summary   Wikipedia is an open, free online encyclopedia.It is precisely because of the nature of freedom that Wikipedia's pages are vulnerable to attack, which inevitably leads to "authoritative" forms of leadership.Such rights are distributed among Founders, Admins, ArbCom, and the Board.While Wikipedia culture values editorial egalitarianism rather than administrative responsibility, this does not mean that there is no leader. “ the need for “dictatorship” arises from the difficulty inherent to decision making in large, voluntary, and consensus-oriented communities. While a cabal or dictator might be complained about, so might their absence. ” While such a form of leadership can quickly deter and interfere with destructive editing, it is two-sided, and it also raises the problem of abuse of power.Some managers have difficulty maintaining absolute neutrality in the face of problems, and selfish approaches can even lead to unnecessary disputes.So the author argues ...
