Wikipedia edit restrictions online credibility openness

shared by amy wu on 27 Aug 09 - Cached
  • Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia that has increasingly drawn some decidedly juvenile pranks, is looking to impose more discipline with new restrictions on the editing of articles.
  • The latest changes come as Wikipedia continues trying to balance a need for credibility and a desire for openness.
  • The idea is to block the kind of high-profile vandalism that has marred some pages.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • The same flagging process, for example, has been imposed on all entries in the German-language Wikipedia for more than a year.
  • Some believe Wikipedia must continue tightening editing policies if it wants to gain credibility.

  • The United States, France and Britain have presented "detailed evidence" to the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog that "Iran has been building a covert uranium enrichment facility," President Obama said Friday.
  • Iran "is taking the international community on a dangerous path," Sarkozy said.
  • U.S. and French intelligence officials have known about the facility for several months, the source said. When Iran discovered that Western nations had knowledge of the facility, it sent the letter to the International Atomic Energy Agency.

korean wave japanese pop culture drama

shared by jung moon on 27 Aug 09 - Cached
  • The success of these and other Japanese works in Korea is raising concerns that Japanese pop culture could once again dominate Korea.
  • Experts say the Korean entertainment industry's dependence on Japanese pop culture will increase because the Japanese novel and manga markets are popular around the world. According to the Korean Publishing Research Institute, as of 2006 the size of the Korean novel market was no more than W203 billion, while that of Japanese market stood at W724.3 billion. The gap for the manga markets was even greater, with the Japanese market (W4 trillion) some 40 times bigger than the Korean market (W124.2 billion).
  • Bae Won-keun, a researcher at the KPRI, says it is a shame that Korean entertainment companies scramble to snap up Japanese stories for quick returns rather than working to strengthen their creative power. "The entertainment industry should make more effort to cultivate young writers with fresh ideas," he adds.

  • They are young, earn little and spend little, and take a keen interest in fashion and personal appearance -- meet the "herbivore men" of Japan

      it is quite interesting to learn the new term "herbivore men". I think it is the popular phenomenon in Japan, and also will be a global phenomenon because of the information flow and complex human behaviours
  • some men who she said were changing the country's ideas about just what is -- and isn't -- masculine

      The world is chaning all the time because of the improvement of technology and the high speed of information spread. So we always learn something new, and something is not always static. Traditionally, men in our mind are strong and powerful in sex and social work. But like this article presents, men can be weak and passive. This change breaks the conventional male image and social and cultural role.
  • "Some guys still try to be manly and try to be like strong and stuff, but you know personally I'm not afraid to show my vulnerability because being vulnerable or being sensitive is not a weakness."
    • xinning ji
      xinning ji on 07 Aug 09
       
      These men are confident to show their weakness, so it is kind of personality and characteristics among human beings today. People would not like to hide themselves and to follow the traditional rule. They have more freedom to present their real personality. Therefore, as we can see, even though they are sensitive and passive, they are happy and comfortable with that. I have to say, it is the society the world we live with, in which people can have multiple faces, attitudes, identities and personalities.
