week 13 : my recent wikipidia edit - ljhwa(이진화)

Fnatic is an esports organization headquartered in London. Founded in 2004, the team competes in numerous gaming leagues and has been particularly active and successful in the League of Legends European Championship (LEC). In addition, it participates in many other popular game leagues, including Valorant and Overwatch 2. According to Forbes, Fnatic is valued at $260 million and is ranked among the top 10 most valuable esports organizations.

Any new, interesting, or unusual items learned

Fnatic has temporarily withdrawn from the Dota 2 competitive league. I had thought that professional teams rarely withdraw unless a game loses popularity or the team performs extremely poorly, so seeing this happen is quite intriguing. A decline in a game’s popularity is directly tied to profitability, and poor team performance can affect brand value, making a team’s withdrawal from a league understandable. However, Fnatic’s Dota 2 team does not appear to fall under either of these reasons.


Identify at least one question, concern, or discussion 

When many people contribute to editing a single article, formatting inconsistencies often arise. How can we resolve this issue? What are the official style guidelines recommended by Wikipedia? I believe that providing a standardized format for things like line breaks, date notation, and match result presentation might help address this problem.

    I have seen your recent Wikipedia edits. I think that providing various references is more important than adding general content. In that sense, I am sure that your edits have helped Wikipedia's revival, even if only a little. Just as LoL was officially adopted as an Asian Games event, e-sports are also gradually establishing themselves as a sport. I think that by providing references that are helpful to this trend, you have contributed to the improvement of e-sports culture. Thank you for your hard work.

    The issue is more likely to arise from citation practices rather than from the textual content of the article itself. Regarding Wikipedia editing style guidelines, these are already well articulated in tutorials designed for beginners. The core problem, however, lies in our inability to fully comply with these rules. The most “ideal” solution would be for all contributors to thoroughly familiarize themselves with the editorial style and draft articles accordingly; yet, this remains an ideal in the literal sense. Imposing penalties on users who fail to adhere to formatting standards would contravene the foundational principles of Wikipedia. Ultimately, the key lies in habit formation. Perhaps organizing periodic initiatives, such as a “Citation Correction Campaign,” could be beneficial. Such efforts would greatly assist users in internalizing and consistently applying the editing style guidelines.

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...

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...

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...
