 1.Summary

Firstly, in the first class, I learned about the professor's requirements for the course and also how to access the professor's course materials as well as links to articles related to Wikipedia. Since I had never encountered or understood Wikipedia before, I was very interested in this class. After understanding the basic requirements of the course, I will definitely adhere to them and actively participate in the course. At the same time, I am very curious about blogs, and I will diligently edit my blog every week, hoping to improve my reading and information extraction skills through Wikipedia in this class.

2.interesting points

1）The professor encourages participatory learning through incentivized answering during class, utilizing a point-based system. This has ignited a strong enthusiasm within me for engaging in class discussions and has enabled me to actively 2）participate more effectively.                                                Editing my blog every week gives me a sense of structure and achievement in my learning journey. Similar to keeping a diary, documenting my weekly learning experiences in the blog fills me with a sense of accomplishment. Moreover, raising questions in my blog entries might lead to classroom discussions, which makes me feel more connected to the class.

3.Discussion

Is Wikipedia infallible? What are some areas where it falls short and needs improvement?

After watching “Why Wikipedia” and “How to Leave (and Read) a Wikipedia Talk Message,” and reading the introduction materials from Joseph Reagle’s Good Faith Collaboration, I’ve come to see that Wikipedia is more than a website—it’s a community built on trust, transparency, and a shared belief in the value of open knowledge. The “Why Wikipedia” video explains that Wikipedia is driven by a radical idea: anyone can edit. This openness has obvious risks, but surprisingly, it works. Why? Because Wikipedians follow a core principle called “good faith.” The idea is that editors assume others are acting with good intentions. They might disagree or make mistakes, but they are seen as partners in a shared mission, not enemies. This idea of good faith collaboration is explored deeply in Reagle’s writings. In the Foreword, Lawrence Lessig praises Wikipedia as an ...
