1. This article explains about many kinds of common criticism in wiki. Some problems of wiki are listed in here. And 7 reading material also write about criticism to wiki about collaborative practice, universal vision, encyclopedic impulse and technological inspiration.

2.  Q. Can Wikipedia disappear?
A. I think wiki will not disappear. Because it is accumulation of people's knowledge. So it will become bigger and bigger as the time goes. Wiki is made with past fact and present issue. Therefore present issue will become past time and new present issue will be wrote in wiki. Wiki will change to perfect thing.

3. How to see number of visitors? Can we see total statistic?

1. This chapter explains about leadership of benevolent dictator. The cofounders of wiki are Larry sanger and Jimmy Wales. Wales who is owner of Internet content and search company hired Sanger in February 2000 to start Nupedia project. Wales leadership is central to find vision, active and contribute of collaborative norms. Larry Sanger was editor of Nupedia and be known as the chief organizer of Wiki. From these two cofounder, We need new responsibility and balance.

2. I think ordinary people who use wiki need some instruction of leadership. Because wiki is used and made by ordinary people. Before they use this, they have to learn about 'regard(solicitude)' in wikipedia.

3. Not regarding in offline about society will affect in online environment. How will it act?

1. In this chapter, he talks about the difficulties of consensus to make decision, meaning  and practice for collaboration. It have trouble when there are disambiguation and rough. To make perfect consensus, we need deliberation, openness, time, precedence and facilitator, polling, voting. Wiki is example of a means of community decision making. Especially, its openness makes a new salience to the challenges of consensus practice.

2. It's hard to make perfect consensus. But if we endeavor to make this well, it will be fill people's need to make consensus. By collecting their own effort, the world of wiki will become everyone's opinion.

3. However, if there is only consensus, people's characteristic will be undervalued. How to prevent this?

W12: Discuss Reagle’s chapter 6

A) Wikipedia was started by Wales and Sanger and Its first try was 'NuPedia'.
Nupedia was run by experts which eventually led to be not active. So Wales and Sanger came up with Wikipedia that anyone is able to participate in. However, there was a serious discussion about leadership. Wikipedia is based on voluntary activity and collaborative movement, but they believe that Wikipedia need balanced leadership which is between authorial and benevolent.

B) I am not sure if I understood this context well. However, I realized that even if Wikipedia is open source and free space, it basically needs a certain formed leadership.


C)I think that it would be a interesting topic to discuss how leadership of Wikipedia works in Korea.

W10 blog topic: What would make writing on Wikipedia easier for me?


I think this week blog topic is interesting. There are things which I found doing Wikipedia.
First, Korea Wikipedia tool box is not well made. 
It's pretty inconvenient for users to make articles. I think that it need to be better. 
Second, I think it would be good if Wikipedia recommend articles which could fit to me.
For example, when I edited certain article, Wikipedia recommend or show me other
articles lists which I might be interested in.
Finally, I think communications between Korean Wikipedians need to be improved.
Then Korea Wikipedia can have more active Wikipedians and be activated.

Q. what would make writing on wiki easier for me?

A. Maybe the best way to write wiki easier is find someone's interest. If someone have interest on some subject. He will find more information and study about that subject. Second is search on internet about some article reference. In online, there are so many evidence to proof our comment. And we can have idea and learn fact about that. Finally, to ask someone else how they think and how they know. Because, wiki is made with many original people's thinking. So if over three people agree, almost every people can agree with.
