Blogging through Wikipedia (2023)

It's a short period from March to June, but I could learn a lot from Wikipedia. First, I learned various editing skills. I learned not only misrepresentation, footnote translation, but also details such as adding photos, classification, and writing new articles. Through Wikipedia, I was able to act as an information carrier, not an information recipient. By learning how to use it in practice, I was able to edit Wikipedia even after this class. The most interesting edit was 'Add Image'. I can't believe I can help others with the pictures I took and made myself! So when I edit Wikipedia, I thought about what pictures I should put in, and I also thought about delivering good information to people. I thought only photos on the official site would be possible, but I think it's good that images that are owned by individuals are possible. Second, I learned that anyone can be an informant. While editing Wikipedia, I felt proud that what I did was helpful to someone. So I tr...

 [SUMMARIZE] In this article, Wikipedia's goal is to create and maintain an encyclopedia that encompasses all areas of human knowledge. "DID you know (shortened DYK)" shows new and improved content by presenting certain facts. DYK is a small version of a specific content or good article. The first goal of DYK is to present new and improved content to readers. Second, to provide insight by emphasizing various information in Wikipedia. Third, otherwise, facts on various topics must be presented. Fourth, to contribute to maintaining editors and continuous content improvement through continuous efforts. Fifth, to facilitate the recruitment of new editors. DYK's rules require editors to create, identify, and propose new content in order to specify what should be displayed in DYK. The four basic criteria for determining whether a DYK candidate is eligible should be 1. New, 2.It should be long enough, 3. it should use a citation source. 4.It can also review.

 [SUMMARY] The article above tells you how to use the classification function correctly.  The central goal of the category function is to provide navigation links to Wikipedia pages. This allows readers to know essential (the definition of a topic) characteristics and search and quickly find pages for topics defined by those characteristics.  After defining the category function, detailed explanations such as how to specify categories and naming rules were followed in the article. C ategories can be used in various media types such as images and articles. Categories should be written specifically, not generating words with a comprehensive big meaning. Categories also use sorting functions to make it easier for people to receive information. [INTERESTING POINT] I felt convenient to use wiki with category function. I think it's a very good function.  I thought Wikipedia created categories on its own or only showed categories approved by user application. However, ...

 I think the edit that can help we get a job in the future is 'Update real-time information and show sources'. My dream is to become a journalist, and to become a journalist, I need to grasp the flow of society faster than anyone else and deliver it to people. Real-time information updates on the wiki mean keeping an eye on social phenomena and areas of interest. We also believe that the indication of the source can increase the reliability of that information.  I updated information about the real-time location and process of the Nuri launched yesterday, and indicated the source. You can check it through the link below. https://ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/%EB%88%84%EB%A6%AC%ED%98%B8

[SUMMARIZE] This article describes the life stages of the article and lists how it can help the article grow to the next level. Some articles in Wikipedia are comprehensive from the start, but most start with stubs and grow into well written and comprehensive articles over time. Every article starts with an idea in the mind of a contributor. If you don't have time to write the entire article, it's also good to write "STUB." A stub is a very short text. Featured articles review articles on the wiki before they become featured as what they consider to be the best article on Wikipedia. Featured articles are a great way to recruit people and get donations by providing articles to people who may not know Wikipedia. The method of article development can be largely subject selection - finding related materials - writing - inserting images or graphics. It is also recommended that you ask your fellow editor for feedback on your article at any time. [INTERESTING] It was conveni...

[SUMMARIZE] This article contains an explanation of the free culture movement. You can check the background of the formation of the free cultural movement, related organizations, and reactions. The free-culture movement is a social movement that promotes the freedom to distribute and modify other people's creations in the form of free or open using the Internet and other forms of media. The movement opposes overly restrictive copyright laws. In 1998, the Sony Bono Copyright Extension Act was passed by the U.S. Congress. The law extends the copyright protection period by 20 years, and the total copyright period is 70 years after the death of the creator, which earned it the nickname "Mickey Mouse Protection Act". Lawrence Lessig, a critic of copyright law, argued that copyright forms copyright law instead of serving the public good, disrupting cultural production, knowledge sharing, and technological innovation. In 1999, resig challenged the bono law and handed the case ov...

 [SUMMARY] This article is a collection of various questions and answers about 'wikimedia commons'.  "Wikimedia Commons" (short form "Commons") is a media repository that is created and maintained by volunteers. It provides a central repository for freely licensed photographs, diagrams, animations, music, spoken text, video clips, and media of all sorts that are useful for any Wikimedia project, the most well-known of which is Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.  Media content such as images, videos, sounds, etc. must be uploaded, and all of these files must be licensed. It is also impossible to cancel the license after uploading the image. Categories can be specified to better classify media registered in 'wikimedia commons'. [INTERESTING POINT] After posting media, 'Wikimedia Commons' was surprised that they couldn't cancel their license. If someone recreates this image, I think it would be difficult to get copyright protection. Also, I t...

 [SUMMARY] Remix culture, also known as read-write culture, refers to a society that promotes and allows the creation of derivative works by combining or editing existing materials to produce new creative works or products. I t encourages efforts to improve, change, integrate, or remix the works of creators and copyright holders, whether with or without their permission.  However, the growth of strict copyright restrictions in recent decades has limited this practic e due to legal constraints. In response to this, Lawrence Lessig, a Harvard law professor, founded Creative Commons in 2001, which provides licenses as tools to enable remix culture by offering alternatives to the default exclusive copyright regime that currently governs intellectual property.  The remix domains are very wide, including folk and vocal music, graphic art, various social media, and religion.  Lawrence Lessig explained the basic media culture of the 20th century by dividing it into "Read/Wri...

  [1.SUMMARY] 1) Wikipedia:List of hoaxes on Wikipedia The article explained Wikipedia's hoaxes. This article was written to improve our understanding and detection of hoaxes. The article collected several wrong articles, including fake articles and false statements. One way to identify a fake article is to examine the structure and content of the article, the content mentioned in other articles in Wikipedia, and the characteristics of the editor who created the page. 2) Wikipedia in culture References to Wikipedia in popular culture have been widespread. Many parody Wikipedia's openness, with individuals vandalizing or modifying articles in nonconstructive ways. Various examples of Wikipedia's culture are also introduced. In art, in music, in television, etc., examples are listed that indicate that Wikipedia is closely related to our daily lives. The article also explained that Wikipedia was not only used positively in culture, but was also criticized. [2.INTERESTING POIN...
