Week6 -- My Wikipedia Edits -- Gaoxiaoxia

Summary

This week, I learned how to add non-free images to Wikipedia, how to transfer images from Chinese Wikipedia to English Wikipedia, and some knowledge about copyrights of Wikipedia images.

interesting point

I found that if you want to add a picture related to an artwork, game, movie or TV series, but it is not your own work, you should be careful not to add it directly using the button in the Wikipedia editor, because the picture added in this way will be directly displayed as your own picture. You need to use another button and then fill in some legal-related options and text before you can add it.

Question

Someone told me that it is OK to use AI-generated images, but I am confused because I have seen many artists hate AI images because of copyright issues. They don't like their creations being used for AI learning, so is it OK to use AI images?

(extra credit)week 5 ：Analyzing Casablanca Through Goffman’s Dramaturgical Theory --LAOXINYI

 1) Frontstage vs. Backstage in Casablanca    - Frontstage in Casablanca Rick Blaine is a great example of someone who plays a role on the frontstage. At Rick’s Cafe Americain , he is the detached, cynical club owner who doesn’t get involved in the politics of World War II. His persona is one of emotional distance, which keeps him safe from the chaos and emotional turmoil around him. He hides his feelings and past relationship with Ilsa in order to protect his public image. The role he plays is strategic – one that keeps others at arm's length while allowing him to operate in a morally ambiguous, war-torn world.     - Backstage in Casablanca The backstage is where things get interesting. In private moments, especially when he’s alone or with close friends like Sam, Rick’s true feelings begin to surface. When Ilsa reappears in his life, the cold, aloof exterior cracks, revealing a man still deeply affected by their past and the love he never truly got over. The b...

Week1: The Experience of Editing Wikipedia-GUO YING

  1.   Summary In my view, Wikipedia is an open knowledge-sharing platform where users can freely edit and contribute content. The editing process typically involves creating an account, selecting an article, making modifications, and submitting them for review. Wikipedia has strict editing guidelines that emphasize neutrality, verifiability, and reliable sources. Some edits take effect immediately, while modifications to popular or controversial pages may require approval. The platform relies on experienced editors and automated bots to monitor changes, prevent disruptive edits, and ensure content accuracy. Additionally, each article has a “Discussion” page where contributors can exchange opinions, explain their edits, and resolve content disputes, making Wikipedia’s content more reliable. 2.  Interesting Points While editing a Wikipedia article, I found one of its most interesting aspects to be its collaborative nature. Contributors from around the world continuously up...

Week9-----WikipediaEdit--HE ZIXUAN

1. Summary This week, I participated in the editing of the Wikipedia entry "Wenchuan Earthquake". The earthquake occurred on May 12, 2008, which is one of the most serious natural disasters in China in recent years. By consulting official reports, academic literature and various documentary materials, I supplemented and corrected some of the content in the entry, especially adding more information on the background of the earthquake, rescue operations and subsequent reconstruction. 2. Interesting points During the editing process, I found interesting differences between public memory and documented records. For example, people generally remember that "the old county town of Beichuan was relocated as a whole", but the previous description of this in Wikipedia was very brief. One detail is that many people do not know that the national emergency response level at the time of the earthquake was actually the first use of China's "National Emergency Response Pla...
