I hadn't known about Wikipedia well until I took the last class. Since we learned about Wikipedia, I think I am quite familiar with how Wikipedia works and how to use it. I know the basic principle of prople to use/edit Wikipedia is that they find this fun. No one do this expecting any rewards, I guess, almost no one. Wikipedia is trying to keep the neutral point of view in any matters, and it's open to people arguing and exchanging their opinions. I believe that it exactly shows that how collective intelligence runs.
Knowing some about Wikipedia got me some benefits during my winter internship. When I was told to search some information, I know how to search and what to trust.
In this class, I want to learn about Wikipedia more in depth, and other collective intelligence if possible. Also, by simply taking this class, it is a good and steady motivation for me to edit Wikipedia and contribute to our sum of knowledge.
