W6 Reading - chapter 3


 
Good Faith Collaboration
 
 
This consists of introduction the epistemic stance of neutral point of view, the intersubjective stance of good faith , conclusion.
Also, this divided of A Caveat about Collaborative Culture, Wiki, Practice, and Policy, Wikipedia Policy, Guidelines, and the Five Pillars, Neutral Point Of View and Good Faith: An Example in introduction. and the intersubjective stance of good faith divided Assuming the Best of Others, Patience, Civility , Humor.
 
 
Introduction
Before engaging with Wikipedia’s collaborative culture, it is worthwhile to outline such an undertaking.
 
Authors have commented on the variety of approaches to “culture” across disciplines including anthropology, communications, and history.
 
Collaboration can be an equally provocative term prompting debate. and Wikipedia is like the Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) communities. The open source software process is not confusion, free-for-all in which everyone has equal power and influence.
And is certainly not an idyllic community of like-minded friends in which consensus reigns and agreement is easy.
 
However, much more is involved in Wikipedia production than decision making.
 
Therefore, my use of the term collaborative culture refers to a set of estimations, values, meanings, and actions pertaining to working together within a community.
 
They feel some degree of social connection with one another.
By these criteria, Wikipedia would qualify.
 
I agree this sentence.
wikipedia is made by many people. also, wikipedia manager check their editing.
So, wikipedia is qualify.
 
Wikis were born of an support for a change in software development with respect to how application requirements were perceived and satisfied.
In the 1990s a new way of addressing software requirements was becoming popular: the “design pattern.”
Furthermore, requirements would be satisfied differently too.
 
A benefit of this approach is that at each step there is always some working code satisfying the requirements encountered so far, and the software is easily prolonged and adapted as requirements change, as they are bound to do. However, there was still a need for quickly, flexibly, and collaboratively discussing software, design patterns, and the principles of this new paradigm.
 
So, if we don't information, we can't learn from our history, and are repeat it.
 
This needs to live life as well as wikipedia
wikipedia needs practice.
I am also difficult to wikipedia first. but now, I am practicing. so, I have more learned how to use wikipedia.
 
Wikipedia’s many norms are also commonly grouped together.

There are five pillars.
1.Wikipedia is an encyclopedia incorporating elements of general and specialized encyclopedias, almanacs, and gazetteers.
2. Wikipedia has a neutral point of view, which means we strive for articles that advocate no single point of view.
3. Wikipedia is free content that anyone may edit.
4.Wikipedia has a code of conduct.
5. Wikipedia does not have firm rules besides the five general principles presented here.
 
The stance of neutrality appears that contributors should give up efforts to convince others of what is right or true, and instead focus on a neutral presentation of what is commonly understood about that topic.
 
 The technical feature of hypertext links can provide a calming effect.
However, one should be careful in articles about controversy to avoid “content” or “POV” forking in which two articles with opposing points of view arise in place of a single NPOV article.
 
If the stance of neutrality implies a willingness to put aside one’s own “point of view,” an apology is a potentially rich example of good faith.
 
 
The Epistemic Stance of Neutral Point Of View
This notion of neutrality is also difficult because it seems impossible to explain without recourse to an equally problematic constellation of concepts.
Another source of confusion is the subject of the alleged neutrality.
 
The concept of neutrality was also absent at the birth of the wiki, which, as described, was a platform for advocating a particular type of software development.
 
Resultingly, this interest in unbiased, or at least less biased, claims about an understandable, or at least partially so, objective universe is central to Wikipedia collaborative culture.
 
To have neutral point of view is not easy.
I am also difficult when I found article sources related to wikipedia.
Every data can have objective information and a subjective opinion.
so, We should be able to distinguish between the two.
 
 
The Intersubjective Stance of Good Faith
In Wikipedia’s collaborative culture, the scope of an open perspective includes not only the subject of collaboration, claims about the world, but also one’s collaborators as well.
 
 
Online communities often suffer the effects of Godwin’s Law.
A possible counteracting norm of this tendency is the guideline “Assume Good Faith.”
But before examining this norm in detail it is worthwhile to first note that good faith is associated with at least three collaborative wiki norms: good faith, “Assume Good Faith,” and “Assume the Assumption of Good Faith.”
 
We love accumulating, ordering, structuring, and making freely available what knowledge we have in the form of an encyclopedia of unprecedented size.

So, wikipedia is developed more and more.  
 
A deficient collaborative culture might be characterized as temperamental and brittle because participants are uneasy and defensive.
Patience is further implicated by “Assume Good Faith,” since frustrating behavior resulting from ignorance is remedied in time.
Wikipedia is not therapy.
The technology of wiki itself furthers patience as a change can always be reversed without fear of permanent damage.
 
Not surprisingly, the balance of patience to be extended continues to be a topic of discussion.
    
 
Conclusion
Wikis are a relatively novel way of working together.
Wiki communities are also a fascinating subject of study because one can closely follow the emergence of and discourse on their culture.
 
In the case of the English Wikipedia, there is a collaborative culture that asks its participants to assume two postures: : a stance of neutral point of view on matters of knowledge, and a stance of good faith toward one’s fellow contributors.
 

I learn five pillars through "good faith collaboration" reading.
Apart from this five pillars, What formula exists?
I wonder this part.
Wikipedia have some formula to remember.
Through some reading, we are learning the formulas and informations.
I am good because we can learn about wikipedia.
