Online blog writing assignment-chapter1


 
This reaing is divided intro 7parts. theme is consiste of Nazis and Norms , Wikipedia, The Vision ,The Encyclopedia, The Community ,The Culture ,This Book, in Short.
 
Wikipedia is not merely an online multilingual encyclopedia. it is different from most of encyclopedia.
the site is only the most visible artifact of an active community.
Unlike general encyclopedia, Wikipedia is both a community and an encyclopedia.
 
Elements of this good faith culture can be seen in the following conversation about a possible “neo-Nazi attack” upon the English-language Wikipedia.
"Neo-Nazis Attempt to Stack Wikivote on Jewish"
The charge of Nazism has a long and odd history in the online community realm. Godwin’s Law of Nazi Analogies that is One of the most famous aphorisms from earlier Internet discussion groups say “As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.”
Godwin’s Law speaks to a tendency of online participants to think the worst of one another.
“neo-Nazi attack” no one compared anyone else to Hitler
I interested in appearing naziz and Hitler in wikipedia and it is difficult for me.
Still, I don't well understand. This part is that I will learn from friends.
 
The Wikipedia Foundation asks the reader to “Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.
That’s wikipedia's commitment. This is wikipedia rule of now.
Wikipedia shares this concern for “the sum of all knowledge” with early visionaries.
However, while most early Wikipedians were probably unaware of these predecessors from a century ago there was a more immediate inspiration
 
Nupedia was absolutely inspired by the free software movement.
Consequently, the inspiration for a free and open source encyclopedia might be thought of as the most recent stage of a long-running pursuit.
I didn't know about Nupedia. So, I searched Nupedia in wikipedia.
Nupedia was an English-language Web-based encyclopedia whose articles were written by volunteer contributors with appropriate subject matter expertise, reviewed by expert editors before publication and licensed as free content.
I learned start of wikipedia is nupedia.
 
 
Wikipedia is the wiki-based successor to Nupedia and its name is a portmanteau of “wiki,” an online collaborative editing tool, and “encyclopedia,”
Wikipedia is an online wiki-based encyclopedia. “Wiki wiki” means “super fast” in the Hawaiian language,
if a page can be read, it can be edited in any browser.
Each wikipedia appears link through which one can log in.
The application of the wiki platform with a few encyclopedic features enables surprisingly sophisticated content creation
the wikipedia has increase with its popularity. now, the world people use wikipedia.
Wikipedia proved to be so successful that when the server hosting Nupedia crashed in September of 2003 it was never restored.
Of course those three million articles on English-language Wikipedia are not of equal quality.
 
it is difficult to communicate in the English Wikipedia community.
many people can edit. But, wikipedia doesn't appear the hundreds of thousands of contributors. Because they includes anonymously or without a consistent identify, and the wiki gnomes.
In sum, there are the tens of thousands of active contributors who are familiar with the basic practices and norms of English Wikipedia.
 
The focus of this book is Wikipedia’s collaborative culture.
in the tradition of Godwin’s Law of Nazi Analogies, an initial set of four observations by Wikipedian Raul 654 in 2004 has become a collection of over two hundred laws by Wikipedians describing their own interactions.
ethnomethodology is particularly relevant given its focus on “practical activities, practical circumstances, and practical sociological reasoning”
and there are three core policies. that is “Neutral Point Of View (NPOV)" No Original Research,” and “Verifiability.”
I didn't know this pocicies. As I raad this reading, I have learned wikipedia.
The NPOV policy seeks to achieve the “fair”.
The other two policies of “No Original Research” and “Verifiability” are both about attribution, meaning, “All material in Wikipedia must be attributable to a reliable, published source.”
These three policies have been characterized as the “holy trinity” of Wikipedia
I consider all three of these to be different aspects of the same thing, ultimately.
Such Wikipedia policies and Wikipedian discourse are central to the cultural account present.
 
hazard in thinking about new phenomena is to aggrandize novelty at the expense of the past. I think because wikipedia open everyone, this hazard is increasing.
Someone with a bad heart may write bad writing.
A facet of the universal encyclopedic vision has been an increase in the accessibility of knowledge.
Finally, in chapter 7 It focus on the cultural reception and interpretation of Wikipedia.
 
I wonder how did founder of wikipedia flash upon idea that thought to create wikipedia.
In this reading, it say process of wikipedia. But it didn't say before start of wikipedia. I think person made wikipedia is incredible person.
If He watches wikipedia of now, he feels happy.
