W4. About my edits last week

 I made some mistakes relating to references and copyrights while editing last week as I presented in class. I tried to paraphrase the edits about Korean food on English wikipedia, but I am not sure that it is okay. And similar thing happened on Korean wikipedia. When I added a book reference for my edit, someone asked me to check if I COPIED and PASTED contents in the reference. I was a little embarrased, but it was an opportunity to understand trustworthy information and references. Also, it was helpful to know how to use Wikipedia and how Wikipedia works. I could learn about when we can use and trust information on Wikipedia or any other websites. I think it was a good experience.

  1. If I was you, I might be very embarrassed either. I think that there are some invisible rules in Wikipedia. We'll find out editing Wikipedia. Let's keep editing. :-)

  2. I think we've all experienced this as a Wikipedian, or we will do so at some point. So you should be proud of it :D
