1)Wikipedia is open space, which means that Wikipedia makes the
balance between openness and closedness.
Open content community like Wikipedia has the specific characteristics
of Open content, Transparency, Integrity, Nondiscrimination and Noninterference. Wikipedia is open content community, but It needs self-censorship. Since It never has any administrators.


2)It is interesting to explain according to characteristics like
Gender and enclaves.


3)Then, How can Wikipedia balance transparency, integrity and nondiscrimination? What is the way?

1. The term "open" is key of wiki community. In this reading, he define "open" as 4 characteristics. First, it illustrate whether anyone can edit wiki. Second, improvement of articles interacting with others without legal problem. Third, bureaucratization within wiki impair openness. Finally, closed group can be open through wiki community. Open content community is balance of open content, transparency, integrity, nondiscrimination and noninterference. In wiki, a lot of discussion about these vales and how to balance them. Therefore, wiki is qualified with descriptive feature of open content community.

2. I think community of wiki endeavor to make "open". Maybe it is not perfect environment of "open". But if people work hard to make real open content community, wiki will be perfect.

3. I can't enter to 7 blog post url. Please give url to here. 

W7 blog topic: Why Free Culture matters?

W7 blog topic: Why Free Culture matters?



1) 'Free' in free culture is similar to a word, free like free will, free market not free in free beer.
That means free culture guarantee everyone's creative cultural activity and free culture is not
just free of charge. The opposition of free culture is 'permission culture'.
permission culture allows creators to create only if powerful or past creators permit.


2) I knew that the concept of free culture.
It is simple concept which guarantee everyone's creative activities and protect property,too.


3) It is pretty hard to understand exactly to what extent is free culture.
For example, parody MV like Gangnam style are free culture?
And Wikipedia is also free culture?

I think that free culture is pretty important because it makes active creators possible to create
more and more.

W6 blog topic: How important is it to be civil online on the Internet?


1) Online is not quite different from Off-line.
According to the reading, Wiki community is also a kind of community and
besides It has community characteristics like other communities.
But especially Wiki highlights that participants need to have stay on neutral and good faith position. Because WIki is online, possibly anonymous and cumulative.
So It is important for Wiki contributors to understand Wiki's identity and follow
civil attitude.

2) I believe that WIki is quite civic community. I feel Wiki is collaborative and very
democratic.


3) I want to know other online communities which are similar to Wikipedia community
and ask participants to follow civil attitude more than others.

I think that the advent of Internet made the people who hate payment. charged services on internet are in disfavor, because anyone is able to acquire good information. I suppose that wikipedia’s requisite for success is free, so that many people gathered on wikipedia. first of all, people are gathered. it is easy to next step.

The more scientific technology is developed, the easier utilize Collective Intelligence. modern people will contribute to editing information by using laptop, mobile device, anywhere, anytime.

 

W5 blog topic: Can we trust Wikipedia?

 

I had suspected Wikipedia of reliability before I used Wikipedia. however, now, I think that Wikipedia is reliable website. many people edit Wikipedia’s contents endlessly. of course, some parts of Wikipedia are inaccuracy. Wikipedia is moving on to better thing. In order to be trusted, Wikipedia need more many user and their activities. it is very important thing. it is reason that I can trust Wikipedia.

W5 blog post

1) Wiki is subject to critic from many people. Because the major points reliability of Wikipedia are the opinion that wiki is opened for editing by everyone makes Wikipedia unauthoritative and unreliable. Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published sources, making sure that all majority and significant minority views that have appeared in those sources are covered. 

2) there is also article of reliability of wiki.
url is here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reliability_of_Wikipedia

3) I am wonder how wiki become this scope. It becomes so big for all over the world. Is there great advertisement or with what?

W5 Can we trust Wikipedia?

1)
Reliability of Wikipedia depends on source and context.
The word "source" when citing sources on Wikipedia has three related meanings:
the piece of work itself (the article, book);
the creator of the work (the writer, journalist),
and the publisher of the work (for example, Random House or Cambridge University Press).

There are some types of sources. Scholarship, News organizations and biased or opinionated sources.
But self-published sources are not good reliable sources.
In general, the more people engage in making articles delicate the more articles are reliable.
So It is important for people to participate to edit a article.
Criticism of Wikipedia is related to accuracy of information, quality of the presentation,
systemic bias in coverage, sexual content, exposure to vandals and privacy concerns.


2)
There are too much information online which are not certainly right.
So It is very important to more people to edit one article to make it
reliable. Because All wikipedians are not experts, so we need to help each other.


3) The part,

"Primary, secondary, and tertiary sources" is hard to understand. 

I would like to discuss it and want your explanation.
