Week4--Writing Wikipedia articles--진사우 (CHEN SIYU)

 Summary:

I have studied the writing of Wikipedia, which is typically at the beginning of articles and should provide a concise overview of the topic to ensure that readers can quickly understand the main content when they start reading.

Briefly introduce the topic and provide an overview of the relevant background information.

Provide basic facts or definitions that summarize the key features of this topic.

If the topic involves certain important people, events, locations, or perspectives, briefly mention them.



Interesting points:

I believe the article can be expanded to capture readers' interest. In this section, for example, the historical background or key developments in a particular field, or some lesser-known but intriguing facts.

And if the topic involves certain innovations, breakthroughs, or achievements that alter industry rules, it should be particularly emphasized. It can also include some controversial or thought-provoking views that pique readers' interest and encourage a deeper understanding.




Discussion:

I believe that the latter part of the article typically delves into different aspects of the topic, offering a multi-faceted perspective and contemplation, exploring various viewpoints, controversies, or uncertainties on the subject, and presenting multiple viewpoints. We can also analyze the impact of this topic on society, culture, technology, and potential future changes. Moreover, discuss the current challenges in this field, as well as future trends and potential breakthroughs.

Introduction to the blog

This blog is a digital forum where students from Collective Intelligence in Practice: Understanding Wikipedia at the Hanyang University in Korea (2025) will discuss their weekly readings and activities. Each week you are expected to post a blog post on our blog and make a comment on another student's post. You can do so on one of the following three topics: a) You can blog about the readings for the next week. As you are expected to do the assigned readings FOR the lectures they are assigned to, you are expected to post your blog and comments BEFORE that lecture. An ideal commentary should be about half a page in length (~200 words), divided into three clearly labeled sections in which you: 1) summarize in your own words of materials you read; 2) mention any new, interesting, or unusual items learned; 3) identify at least one question, concern, or discussion angle that is either problematic in some respect or could have been elaborated more. This question is likely to be incor...

Week 1. My Recent Wikipedia Edits - Jeong seolah (정설아)

I made several edits to the Wikipedia page for 'Daegu'.  Daegu, located in the southeastern part of South Korea, is the third-largest urban area in the country, following Seoul and Busan. With a population exceeding 2.3 million, it is the fourth-largest metropolitan city in South Korea and the second-largest in the Yeongnam region after Busan. Often referred to together with the surrounding North Gyeongsang Province as Daegu-Gyeongbuk, this region is home to over 5 million residents. Known for its rich history and vibrant economy, Daegu stands as a key player in South Korea's cultural and industrial landscape. Below is a summary of the changes I contributed. 1) Summarize and link Sights Section:  - Improved clarity by changing “mountains keep many traditional temples” to “the mountains keep many traditional temples.” Mosque Controversy Section:  - Simplified a sentence by removing “and of the authorities.” Festivals Section:  - Made phrasing smoother by changing “tho...

Week4 - Review about the readings for the next week. - Jo HyeonSeong (조현성)

 1. Summarize in my own words of materials. The book is primarily about the openness of Wikipedia. Openness means that anyone can participate in the creation and editing of articles without any qualifications. Openness can be a double-edged sword. While it means that you can edit without having expert knowledge of a topic, it also means that you can participate even if you have expert knowledge. For experts, articles written by non-experts can come across as inaccurate knowledge, which can anger experts. This anger can also be a catalyst for Wikipedia to continue to improve. However, articles edited only by non-experts can cause misunderstandings and convey incorrect information, so openness can be considered a double-edged sword. In fact, it sometimes causes some conflict, such as Wales' negative stance. Openness also means freedom from copyright, which means anyone can take it and use it anywhere. That is why the knowledge of non-experts can have greater impact. That is why appro...
