Blogging through Wikipedia (2025)

 Summary: The entries note that coffee cultures around the world develop regional characteristics due to differences in drinking methods, social habits, and service approaches: In Italy, quick coffee consumption (such as espresso) is closely tied to traditional rhythms. In the United States, coffee is often a carry-on beverage. Nordic countries have high consumption and tend to drink slowly and communicate at home or in the workplace. Some Asian countries have developed themed cafes and handcrafted specialty coffees. Interesting points:  Finns consume over 12 kilograms of coffee annually, but the types are simple, emphasizing "sharing time" over flavor variations. In Japan, the "slow coffee culture" influenced by traditional tea ceremony has fostered the development of refined hand-punching and utensil aesthetics. Korean cafes often serve as "photo-check-in" venues, with spatial design focusing on visual effects rather than just coffee  Discussion: Is ther...

Summary :  This article outlines Wikipedia's standards for evaluating the reliability of sources used in its entries. According to Wikipedia’s guidelines, all content must be based on published, trustworthy sources and should represent the majority viewpoint while also including significant minority perspectives when appropriate. The article explains how to assess the credibility of a source, focusing on key criteria such as editorial oversight, fact-checking, and independence from the topic being discussed. It also highlights that different types of sources—such as academic publications, news media, and opinion pieces—have different roles and levels of appropriateness depending on the context. Editors are encouraged to make case-by-case judgments rather than applying blanket rules. Additionally, the article discusses how to handle sources that may be outdated, commercial in nature, or come from news aggregators. When it comes to biased or opinionated sources, Wikipedia’s policy ...

 When searching for information, I prefer using artificial intelligence tools. My preference is based on the following three reasons: Strong Information Integration Artificial intelligence can extract key information from various sources based on my questions and present it in a clear and concise manner, greatly improving the efficiency of information acquisition. In contrast, although Wikipedia is comprehensive, the information is often scattered and not easy to grasp quickly. Highly Interactive Artificial intelligence can adjust its responses based on user feedback and follow-up questions, providing a more personalized experience. This interactive way of obtaining knowledge allows me to solve problems more accurately during the learning process, while Wikipedia, being static content, cannot provide such interaction. More Accessible Language AI often explains complex concepts in simple and relatable terms, which helps beginners understand more easily. Wikipedia, on the...

 I made several edits to the Wikipedia page for 'Hanja'. Hanja is a traditional system of Chinese characters used to write the Korean language and is also known as "Hancha." Originally introduced for writing in Classical Chinese, it gradually began to be used for expressing the Korean language as early as the Gojoseon period. Each character carries its own sound and meaning, playing an important role in clearly conveying the meanings of Korean vocabulary. Although its everyday use has declined today, Hanja remains a valuable academic asset for interpreting historical texts and understanding vocabulary. The Korean alphabet is the modern writing system used for the Korean language. In North Korea, it is called  Chosŏn'gŭl  (조선글), while in South Korea, it is known as  Hangul  (한글).  The shapes of the five basic consonants were designed to represent the position and shape of the speech organs used when pronouncing them. These base letters are then systematicall...

1. Summarize in your own words the materials that you read  Reagle explores the evolution of global media culture, emphasizing the role of digital platforms that transcend geographic and cultural boundaries. He explains how the global community can jointly create and share knowledge through Wikipedia. He also acknowledges the tensions and challenges inherent in the open content community.  2. Mention any new, interesting, or unusual items that you learned through the lecture One of the most interesting aspects is Reagle's use of puzzle metaphors to illustrate the collaborative process with Wikipedia. This metaphor effectively captures the idea of assembling diverse information and perspectives into an integrated whole, highlighting the importance of neutrality and good faith in achieving this goal. Furthermore, discussions in chapters on the challenges of governance in the open content community provide valuable insights into the complexity of decentralized platform m...

During Week 9, I focused on editing and improving three Wikipedia articles: Civil Society, Cognitive Warfare, and Xi Jinping’s Anti-Corruption Campaign. This week’s work helped me better understand how to present complex and sometimes sensitive topics in a clear, neutral, and informative way. 1. Civil Society I added content related to the current state of civil society in China, especially how it functions under institutional constraints. I also included discussion on the role of digital platforms in promoting civic engagement. To ensure the article was well-rounded, I drew on recent academic studies and made sure to standardize key terms for consistency and clarity. The goal was to reflect the nuances of civil society in non-Western contexts without introducing bias. 2. Cognitive Warfare This is a relatively new and evolving concept in military and media studies. I expanded the article by explaining how cognitive warfare differs from information warfare and psychological operatio...

1. Summarize in your own words the materials that you read The article “Wikipedia in Culture” explores how Wikipedia has become deeply embedded in pop culture and public consciousness. It’s often referenced or parodied in TV shows, music, and internet memes. Wikipedia also shows up unexpectedly, from being featured in comedy routines to being mimicked in art and literature. Ultimately, the article presents Wikipedia as a website and a cultural icon shaped by and shaping the digital age. 2. Mention any new, interesting, or unusual items that you learned through the lecture I realised that it was honored with a real-world statue made me reflect on how powerful and influential it’s become. Also, I found the idea of someone composing a hymn for Wikipedia both amusing and strangely touching. It made me appreciate that Wikipedia isn’t just a tool we use, but something people form emotional and cultural attachments to. 3. Identify at least one question, concern, or discussion angle that...

1. Summarize in my your own words of materials that I read In his work, Reagle adopts a citation style that diverges somewhat from conventional academic practices, particularly influenced by his extensive use of sources like Wikipedia and other online materials. Instead of employing detailed formal citations for every instance, he frequently utilizes simplified attributions, often referencing sources merely as "Wikipedia." He makes a conscious effort to retain any grammatical inaccuracies present in the original web content, intervening only minimally for necessary corrections. A key aspect of his approach is prioritizing stable or permanent links, recognizing the inherently dynamic nature of online information, especially wikis. For the print version, he keeps direct URLs to a minimum, guiding readers to consult the online hypertext edition for more comprehensive references. He also acknowledges potential variations in page numbering between the print and digital formats. Ul...

1. Summarize in my your own words of materials that I read The References section explains how Reagle approached citation in Good Faith Collaboration . Since much of his material came from Wikipedia and other online sources, he simplified attributions, often listing simply Wikipedia instead of the full formal citation. He preserved original grammatical errors where possible, only occasionally inserting corrections. For web-based sources, he preferred stable or permanent links to address the issue of ongoing edits, especially for Wikipedia content. While minimizing unnecessary URLs in the print version, he encouraged readers to refer to a hypertext version online. Reagle also acknowledged that page numbers might vary between print and digital editions. His citation practices balance traditional academic rigor with the practical realities of referencing dynamic, web-based knowledge. 2. Mention of any new, interesting, or unusual items that I learned through lecture. I think that Reagle d...

 WU WENHAO,2021080464 Over the past week, I continued my editing work on Wikipedia, focusing this time on the article Industry of China . To better organize and prepare my edits, I created a sandbox page here: User:Wuwenhao19960507/sandbox_1 . In this editing session, I worked on updating and expanding several major sections of the article, including the History , Aerospace industry , Information Technology Industry , and Energy industry parts. I refined the structure of these sections by organizing developments more chronologically, adding updated statistics, and ensuring that each subsection reflected recent trends and achievements. For example, I incorporated updates about China's advances in supercomputing, breakthroughs in the aerospace sector, the rapid growth of its IT industry, and its progress toward renewable energy goals. Throughout my edits, I maintained a neutral tone and cited reliable sources to comply with Wikipedia's content policies. During this process, I e...

1. Summarize in my your own words of materials that I read Chapter 8 concludes Good Faith Collaboration by highlighting the paradox of Wikipedia: although theoretically unworkable, it succeeds in practice. Reagle discusses how Wikipedia embodies ideals of neutrality, good faith, and collaboration through its symbol—the incomplete globe puzzle. Drawing connections to H.G. Wells' "World Brain," the chapter frames Wikipedia as a modern effort toward global knowledge sharing, though complicated by cultural relativism and online conflict. It emphasizes that technology alone does not guarantee success; rather, Wikipedia’s community norms, such as assuming good faith and welcoming newcomers, are crucial. Ultimately, the project thrives not merely on software but on the belief that people can cooperate and build shared knowledge through mutual trust and social norms. 2. Mention of any new, interesting, or unusual items that I learned through lecture. One interesting point I lear...

 After reading Chapter 2，I found for over a century, people kept trying to build a free "world brain," failing repeatedly until Wikipedia accidentally got it right. It’s inspiring how a simple tool (the wiki) solved what grand projects couldn’t. Openness has trade-offs. Wikipedia triumphed by letting anyone edit, but that chaos upset experts like Sanger. It makes me wonder: Can something truly be both "open to all" and "reliable"? Maybe friction between freedom and control is unavoidable. What sticks with me most is Wikipedia almost didn’t happen. If Sanger hadn’t chatted with a friend at a taco stand about wikis, we might still be dreaming of a universal encyclopedia instead of using one.
