In this article, we can find out two important factors (or it can be called ideology) for maintaining wikipedia. One is ‘Neutral Point Of View’, and another is ‘Stance of Good Faith(Include patience, civility, humor)’. As we saw in our class, getting neutral point of view is really important. Because, all usuers who can edit each article has different background, circumstance that can be affect to one so every people is biased. In this reason, we have to self-disciplined for getting neutral point of view. The life of information is as same as fact of information. Stance of good fatih to other users is also significant factor of wikipedia. There are thousand of hundreads of users using wikipedia at the sametime, so if we have agressive stance, there must be a fight each other. These two factors guaranteed the openess of wikipedia. Transparency, Non-discrimination, Non-interference are always with two factors what we talked.
As we entered into information oriented society, importance of on-line communication and community is growing up. However there is no concrete rules or any specific regualtion like wikipedia. Surely, wikipedia is also not perfect model of online community i think and it seemed needed more principle for developing,though, it shows the guide line of online community to us. I would like to discuss what is other factor of maintaining online community
I agree that Wikipedia gives us hope to dream of 'community', although it has much way to go. We can discuss what kind of more principles it needs.
