Week5: Wikipedia edit-Kwon Hyunji (권현지)

1)    summarize and link to my edit

I edited an article 'Australia in Cannabis' this week. Cannabis is a plant that has many uses in Australia. It is used for preference, medicine, and industrial purposes, and Australia has the highest cannabis penetration rate in the world. I have translated the history of cannabis distribution in Australia from the beginning to 2024. Australians analyzed cannabis use according to factors such as gender and age. It has also written about the laws and policies currently being applied in relation to cannabis in Australia. I have also learned about the cannabis supply and advocacy positions. We also had time to organize about slang for cannabis that people don't commonly know.


2) mention of any new, interesting, or unusual items learned

In Australia's population over the age of 14, we have found that cannabis is consumed more than other illegal drugs. In Australia's population over the age of 14, cannabis is found to be consumed more than other illegal drugs. And the average starting age range for people who use cannabis was 18.9 (average) or 17.2 (median). It was surprising that the average starting age for people who use cannabis was in their teens. I thought the fact that there are a lot of people who use cannabis in Australia and that the starting age is younger had sparked debate about allowing cannabis. And I wondered if there would be confusion on the part of the country, given that different laws apply in different states.


3) identify at least one question, concern, or discussion angle that is related to your edit that you would like to discuss further with others.

To what extent should there be regulations regarding the use of cannabis? And why did you set that range?

Can we distinguish between medical use and non-medical use?

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...
