Blogging through Wikipedia (2023)

1. summary Wikipedia's "Did you know" (DYK) is a section of the Wikipedia homepage that highlights interesting, new facts, and unknowns. DYK's content is updated daily on the main Wikipedia page.DYK has five eligibility criteria for selection, which are: new, long enough, cited hook, within policy, and review requirement. To register as DYK, it must meet one of the following conditions within at least 7 days: create, expand at least 5 times, and upgrade to good condition. Just like the Wikipedia articles, DYK should adhere to the rules of neutrality and accuracy as a platform to provide new interactive extensions. 2. interesting point  DYK consists of a series of "hooks", which are interesting facts taken from Wikipedia's newest content, of the format "Did you know that...?" Thus, to  nominate  something to appear on DYK, an editor must either write or identify new content (see below for what qualifies as "new") and propose an interes...

 1. summary   Classification is the basic process of organizing information in Wikipedia. This involves grouping the text according to the subject or other associated features of the writing. The main purpose of categories is to help users navigate through the vast amount of content available on the Web site and to find articles that are of interest to them. Wikipedia's classification system follows a hierarchical structure, and categories can be subcategories of a broader category. This hierarchy allows topics to be organized logically, making it easy for users to find related articles in a particular field or domain. Classifications in Wikipedia are created and maintained by editors, who assign articles to the appropriate classifications according to established guidelines and agreements. Each article can fall into several categories and provides users with multiple search paths.  2. interesting point   Wikipedia's classification system is a dynamic one that c...

 1. summary Some Wikipedia articles are comprehensive from the start, but most start with stubs and ideally grow into well-written, comprehensive articles over time. There are many ways to make our article a good feature article. First of all, if we don't have time to write a complete essay, we can consider writing a "stub". Stubs are very short articles -- usually just a few sentences. These are the ugly ducklings of Wikipedia. With effort, they can grow into swans. Once a stub has real content, it is a real article. We can modify it based on the stubs. Then continue to improve and modify and review we can get a perfect feature article, but in this process, we need to query a lot of information. 2. interesting point This article mentions a number of ways to search for information that will help me find information in the process of editing the wiki. It is also mentioned that we use some words euphemistically to replace some overly straightforward words in the process of ...

 1. summary Wikimedia Commons is an accessible online repository of media files, including images, videos, and audio files. It is a central platform for storing and sharing media content that can be used across various Wikimedia projects, such as Wikipedia, Wikibooks, and Wikinews. Wikimedia Commons hosts a vast collection of media files that are available under free licenses or in the public domain. The content on Wikimedia Commons covers a wide range of subjects, including nature, art, science, history, and many others. It provides valuable visual resources for educational purposes, research, journalism, and various creative projects. Users can search for specific files or browse through different categories and collections to discover media related to their interests. 2. interesting point I can upload my own photos through this site and upload them to the corresponding page of Wikipedia, and I will feel a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment when I have added them. I think ...

1. Summary The Free Culture Movement is a social and political movement that advocates the freedom to distribute and modify creative works through open-source software, and open access to academic literature, content, and data. The movement believes that access to and sharing of information should be free, collaborative and participatory.  The Free Culture Movement has significantly impacted the development of digital technology and the Internet. It spurred the development of open-source software and the creation of collaborative communities, such as Wikipedia and the Open Access movement, which freely shared knowledge and information. 2. Interesting point The Free art movement is different from the free Culture movement in that artists retain full copyright in their works. Free art is the practice of artists leaving works of art in public places for the public to take and keep. The artwork is usually marked with a statement stating that it is a free art and carries the artist's ...

  1. Summary Culture Wikipedia contains knowledge of cultural heritage, literature, art, music, film, food, traditional customs and religious beliefs. The project is written and edited by volunteers, and everyone can contribute. Users can actively participate by creating new pages, editing existing pages, adding quotes and images, and so on. Wikipedia is not solely utilized as an encyclopedia but rather serves as a characterizing trait or even a recreational pursuit. Additionally, Wikipedia holds cultural significance and many individuals view their personal entries on the platform as a symbol of status . 2. Interesting point  " In a July 2006 episode of the satirical comedy show The Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert introduced the neologism "wikiality" during his segment titled "The Wørd". This term is a combination of Wiki and reality." Ironically, he commended Wikipedia for adhering to his philosophy of truthiness, which posits that intuition and consensu...

 1. summary  One way to identify a hoax article is to examine its structure and content, as well as its mention in other Wikipedia articles (i.e., embeddedness), while also paying attention to the characteristics of the editor who created the page. Specifically, hoax articles may be longer than legitimate articles, and are less likely to link to other Wikipedia articles, references, images, or similar markup. Also, it is unlikely to be mentioned in other Wikipedia articles before it is created and is usually created by a new account with little involvement from other editors. 2. interesting point  Despite some mischievous behaviour, Wikipedia's dedicated community and technical team have worked tirelessly to ensure the accuracy and reliability of its content. Users can also contribute to improving and refining Wikipedia by reporting any malicious edits or participating in editing entries. 3. discussion It is possible to reduce the number of  hoaxes.

1. Summary   Wikipedia's reliability encompasses data from the editorial process of Wikipedia and its users, and reliability is particularly responsible for the validity, verifiability and authenticity of its English version. Wikipedia volunteers (belike me) generate online content under the editorial supervision of other volunteer editors, in accordance with the policies and guidelines set by the community. Wikipedia comes with a general disclaimer that it can be edited by "anyone at any time" and maintains a threshold of "verifiability, not authenticity" for inclusion. This is because most people choose to remain anonymous. Wikipedia's reliability was often criticised in the 2000s. However, it improved over time and was generally well-received in the late 2010s and early 2020s. Part of the assessment of its reliability examined vandalism, i.e. the speed at which false information was removed. In 2003 through an IBM study it was found that "intentional...

1. Summary   Good Faith Collaboration: The Culture of Wikipedia is a 2010 book by Joseph M. Reagle Jr. that deals with Wikipedia and the Wikipedia community.  The book is an ethnographic study of Wikipedia's history, its real-life and theoretical forerunner, and its culture, including its consensus and collaborative practices.  The book is composed of 8 chapters with a foreword  by  Lawrence Lessig. 2. Interesting point   Wikipedia defines functionality as "the extent to which a product or system effectively accomplishes its purpose." Similarly, a person's ability to fulfil their role or responsibility in a given situation is an important aspect of their character. Just as the functionality of a product is critical to its success, a person's functionality is critical to the success of their personal and professional life. 3. Discussion    Vandalism is a common problem faced by editors on Wikipedia. Vandalism can take many forms, such as addin...

1. Summary   Wikipedia's culture can be explained by using a jigsaw puzzle metaphor to explain the interdependence of neutrality and integrity in the collaborative establishment of an encyclopedia. On a social platform filled with fake news and conspiracy theories, Wikipedia, which seeks neutrality and greater credibility, has become a safe haven in the eye of the information storm. Anyone with a thirst for knowledge can find refuge in Wikipedia.    People encourage each other, but different people have different ideas and opinions, so there is bound to be conflict. These incentives and conflicts have fuelled the growth of Wikipedia. Even if it disappears one day, Wikipedia is a great project resulting from people working together, and memories and appreciation will live on forever. 2. Interesting point   Communities change, but change is inevitable - and my efforts are necessarily fixed in a particular slice of time. Moreover, the 'golden years' are often subjective...

 1. summary   Wikipedia is not anarchic, although it has the characteristics of anarchy. Wikipedia is not democratic, although it has the characteristics of a democracy. Wikipedia is not an aristocracy, although it has the characteristics of an aristocracy. Wikipedia is not a monarchy, although it has the characteristics of a monarchy.  Only leaders who have acted prudently and continued to make important contributions can be given the title of 'dictator'. While this term may not best describe the true character of the role, it serves as a warning: a well-meaning joke balanced on the edge of becoming a frightening reality. It is a warning to such leaders and a metaphorical criterion for discussing the behaviour of any participant. 2. interesting points   Appreciation of the community and its collaborative culture is key to understanding Wikipedia. However, unlike the purity of utopian dreams, Wikipedians must reconcile their vision with the inevitable social rea...

It is a collaborative project where anyone with internet access can contribute by creating, editing, and updating articles. As a public platform, Wikipedia is accessible to anyone with an internet connection, and its content is free to use and distribute.

  1)  Summary    Wikipedia has a long history of development and it didn't happen overnight. Wikipedia couldn't have developed without all the people who had ideas to benefit the world. 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. The "necessary conditions" for the emergence of Wikipedia 2) Interesting point   “To collect all the knowledge now scattered over the surface of the earth, to make its general structure known to those around us, and to spread it to those who come after us.”   Regardless of their wealth, social status or academic background, people have the opportunity to participate in the editing of Wikipedia, sharing their experiences or knowledge to all people through this Wikipedia that covers ...
