week 14 : my recent wikipidia edit - ljhwa(이진화)

 The League of Legends EMEA Championship, abbreviated as LEC, is a professional League of Legends esports league operated by Riot Games in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa regions. The LEC represents the highest level of League of Legends competition in these areas. Established in 2013, the league’s success attracted significant media attention and played a major role in removing various barriers that had previously hindered the development of esports.


 The documents I edited today are LCS (English) and Fanatic(Korean).

Any new, interesting, or unusual items learned

The League of Legends EMEA Championship was established in 2013. Interestingly, the league was launched in the third year of professional League of Legends play, meaning that professional players existed even before the league was formed. In 2016, just three years after its inception, France officially introduced various laws and regulations recognizing the LEC and the rights of esports players. Achieving such recognition in just three years reflects a level of interest and commitment that should not be taken lightly.


Identify at least one question, concern, or discussion 

It is known that traditional sports athletes go through different procedures than ordinary travelers when traveling abroad for international competitions—for example, by obtaining special types of visas. Do esports players go through a similar process?

In addition, revised laws for esports players include improvements to visa procedures, guarantees for prize money payments, the establishment of a legal framework for esports contracts, and the protection of rights for underage players. Beyond these, are there any other legal measures that might be necessary?

    Some esports players are eligible for special visa categories similar to those granted to traditional sports players. In the United States, for instance, the P-1A visa—typically reserved for internationally recognized athletes—has been extended to esports players since 2013. However, this privilege is generally limited to top-tier players such as Faker from T1.

    With regard to air travel, it is rare for esports players to be afforded chartered flights or dedicated transport arrangements akin to those provided to elite traditional sports teams. Nonetheless, organizations owned by large corporations may occasionally offer upgraded seating as part of their support for players.

    In South Korea, a standardized labor contract for esports players has been introduced, marking a step toward formalizing employment practices in the industry. However, beyond contractual employment, welfare provisions remain inadequate. While some teams may offer periodic health check-ups, services such as pension schemes, insurance coverage, and post-retirement career transition programs are largely absent.

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...
