Wikiality Group Project (E. Evaluation)

We have finished our project “Wikiality”. I have tried to follow the design specification written below.

(Design Specification)
1. Find inaccuracy what I am interested in
2. Not only correcting the error add other contents that the Wiki has missed3. Edit/add at least 3 contents in one site


I found inaccuracy in Wikipedia which I was interested in. I found about one Korean female celebrity, who has deceived her age. In online sites, her year of birth was 1982, but with some other researches her actual age was 1980. This was subject which I was interested in and while I was finding the inaccuracy, I wasn’t bored. For design specification, I said that I would not only correct error, but also add other contents that Wiki has missed. So I was thinking about adding a photo of the celeb and add the high school graduation year of her. This will fill up the design specification number 3. But for the photo, I could only update the photo I took by myself. We weren’t allowed to use internet photos. I and my partner couldn’t add as photo, and we didn’t add add the high school graduation year. I couldn't achieve all the goals in design specification, which I would like to change later even when the project is finished.


(Evaluating criteria A, B, D)

First we had to research about Wikipedia. It was my first time of actually research and gets to know about a certain server. I found out that Wiki was created and edited by Wiki users, which was a quiet surprising for me. The task was to find inaccuracy in Wiki, which had possibility to occur due to the contents which is created or edited by the Wiki users. The inaccuracy or incorrect information can be distributed. This could have a big impact on human. Me and my partner Eun Ju, has changed inaccuracy about Korean Celeb’s year of birth. After changing I have checked 2 times reentering the site, but no one had modified the change me and Eun Ju made.

When I started the project, it wasn't appealing to me. But as I did the project, I starting to think the project was quite enjoyable. When I made change in Wiki, I thought that i could be a person who distributes correct information to other people in the world. Also I learned, I shouldn't use the advantage of Wiki in a bad way(vandelising). The project thought me even a little thing can distribute real quickly and change the world.
