Week14:Recent Wikipedia edits--ZHANG XIAOTONG(장효동)

 Summary

In the past week, I added the following citation content to the Wikipedia article on "Chen Meng." 

[1] "Ma Long and Chen Meng win singles titles at 2020 ITTF Finals"

[2]"Table Tennis: China achieve golden sweep with women's team victory"

[15]"Dishang 2020 ITTF Women's World Cup: Final Day"

[16] "Chen Meng on top of the world, wins in grand manner"

[17] "Chen Meng and Li Shiwen Secure Women's Doubles Title"

[18]"China sweeps Japan Open 2019"

[19]"Table Tennis: Lin and Zhou beaten by China duo in Swedish Open women's doubles final"

[20]"Chen Meng and Wang Manyu upset top seeds to secure top prize"

[21]"China sweeps golds in women's finals at the ITTF Korea Open"

[22]"The result of 2019 ITTF World Tour Swedish Open - Tabletennis Reference"

Difference link：https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chen_Meng&diff=1294211156&oldid=1292706361#mw-diffpage-visualdiff-cite_note-5

These references cover important matches in the professional career of Chinese table tennis player Chen Meng from 2019 to 2020, including the Women's World Cup, ITTF Finals, Open tournaments, team events, and doubles competitions. These newly added citations not only enhance the factual accuracy and credibility of the article but also help provide readers with a more comprehensive understanding of Chen Meng as a top-level athlete.


Interesting Points


1.Some of the original match results in the article lacked proper citations, were vaguely described, or had no sources at all. By adding reliable references, I provided strong support for the accuracy and completeness of Chen Meng’s competition record. All newly added citations come from trustworthy media and official tournament sources, such as the ITTF website and The Straits Times, in accordance with Wikipedia's sourcing standards.

2.In addition, without detailed documentation, many of the highlights in an athlete’s career can easily fade from public memory. The match references I added help to establish a verifiable and citable archive of Chen Meng’s achievements.

3.Through the process of searching for reliable sources, I also gained a deeper understanding of Chen Meng as an athlete. It strengthened my belief that she is a truly all-around table tennis player — not only capable of handling high-pressure singles matches, but also excelling in team events and doubles partnerships.


Related reflections：


Through this citation-focused edit, I not only improved my information-searching skills and became more rigorous in evaluating sources, but also helped readers gain a more comprehensive understanding of Chen Meng’s professional career. Furthermore, the enhanced content offers insight into the international competitiveness of Chinese table tennis and the outstanding performance of female athletes at the highest level.

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.

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...
