week14-Featured Articles and Good Articles-jiangjiashan（강가삼)

 

 Summary:


"Featured Articles" are the highest-quality article types on Wikipedia, representing that they meet extremely high standards in terms of content completeness, accuracy, clarity of expression, structural logic, and reference sources. These entries are typically displayed in the "Today's Featured Items" section on the homepage. "Good Articles" are those of higher quality than average but have not yet met the standards for "featured entries." These entries are complete and reliable, with clear language expression, but there may still be room for optimization in terms of structure, depth, or citation.

1.Excellent target accuracy

There is no content dispute;

There is a reasonable structure and paragraph division;

The main points have reliable sources;

The language is clear with no obvious grammatical errors;

Complies with Wikipedia's neutrality principle. 

2. Feature bar targets accurately

Comprehensive content: covering the main aspects of the topic;

Well-structured: entries are organized logically;

Concise writing style: precise expression with no redundancy;

Use standard sources: reliable and accurate citations;

Compliant with Style Guidelines: Consistent graphic layout, templates, and format standards;

Stability: The entries are uncontroversial and not frequently modified;

Media content: The image copyright is clear, and the layout is reasonable.


Interesting points:


The evaluation of distinctive and excellent articles has driven editors to continuously improve content accuracy, language expression, and structural organization, serving as the "civil access mechanism" for Wikipedia quality management.

Many seasoned editors view the writing and selection of FA/GA entries as an "honor," which inspires the entries to be meticulous and deeply creative. At the same time, evaluation is also a learning process, and newbies can greatly benefit from the review comments.

During the evaluation process, multiple editors engaged in in-depth discussions about the content, wording, and sources of information, which helped form a community consensus and enhance the objectivity and neutrality of the information.


Discussion:


Due to some ambiguity in the evaluation criteria, different reviewers may have varying understandings of "comprehensiveness" or "reliability," leading to evaluation biases.

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...
