WEEK5——My Wikipedia Edits——ZHUANG MINNA

 1）Summary

Recently, I edited the economic section of the "Jieyang" entry on Wikipedia. The original entry only gave a summary of Jieyang's economy, lacking specific information. By consulting the government work report and statistical data, I systematically added Jieyang's five major economic pillar industries: traditional manufacturing, medicine and Chinese herbal medicine, petrochemical energy, commerce and e-commerce, and agriculture and food processing, making the content more comprehensive and objective.（link）

2）Interesting Points

-From a sentence to a complete section

The original content only briefly mentioned that "Jieyang is an important industrial city", but now it introduces the specific situation and data of each industry in detail.

-Discovering characteristic industries

During the survey, it was found that Jieyang's Chinese herbal medicine industry and jade processing are very distinctive, which are completely missing in the original entry.

-Quoting official data

The 2022 Jieyang Statistical Yearbook and the Municipal Government Work Report are used as reliable sources to ensure the accuracy of information.

-Balanced presentation

It not only introduces advantageous industries such as petrochemical energy, but also mentions traditional industries such as agriculture to avoid one-sidedness.

3）Discussion

-The significance of Wikipedia editing

By improving local entries, more people can understand the real development status of Jieyang.

-Subsequent improvement direction

Plan to add specific representative enterprises and economic contribution ratios of each industry.

-The value of local entries

Such entries have practical reference value for investors, researchers and tourists.

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...
