In this week, I edit two different topics about
retail and
robotics, and here are the difference on
retail and
robotics
In summary: robotics applications have high future value in the retail industry and will play a huge role in the near future.
In this process, I know more information about retail and robotics, and how the robot will be used in retail industry, which will bring huge benefits to this industry.
WengConor, Please assign yourself these articles in the Wiki Edu Dashboard and then ping me here. I will then take a look at them and reply. ---

The first article I edited is
Face-to-face interaction, the diff is
here. The transitive memory development brought by face-to-face communication is more effective than that by online communication, especially when an organization invites all its members to participate in face-to-face team-building activities. The second article I edited is
Leadership, the diff is
here. This article is complicated for me and filled with a lot of literature, but there are still gaps in literature like this. This proves that the completeness of the literature requires people to add and modify with the times.

@
FULBERTMy final thought is that this assignment is very necessary. Up to now, the number of pageviews of our edited articles has reached 2.93m, but the job is not heavy. We only need to find a point or two in the articles we read each week to supplement Wikipedia, but the supplemented articles may also be of some help to those who see this article in the future. My biggest insight is that Wikipedia needs to be supplemented a little by people. The information that people find through Wikipedia in the future is based on this little addition. So I think this homework is very necessary, and I will continue to edit Wikipedia in the future.

Yes. Editing Wikipedia is a new experience for me. I have learned a lot during this time especially while adding citation and paraphrasing into my own words from the authors' papers. After this class finishes, I will try to continue contribute on Wikipedia, because I want to more people who might not have academic scholar access can have more peer-reviewed information. @

Yes. It has been a good experience to try to add an appropriate image to an article. Though the process was pretty challenging. Because there were few articles that really need to have new images. Also you have to consider which photo you own or the photo you have been authorized could be a potential photo to an article. I am so glad that I really took some photos in Hocking Hills State Park when I was studying at The Ohio State University. I almost gave it up after searching for about an hour, and still had no clue. After all, I feel like it was tough but worthy to give it a shoot.

Week 7/dc4825
I edited two different articles. The first is
Email fraud and the differ is
here. The second is
Network eavesdropping, and the differ is
here. Summary: Email fraud is like email phishing that people click the embedded link in email will get hacked. Network eavesdropping is attackers use internet to collect data and information. I think though this 7 weeks editing an article at Wikipedia, I feel like I am familiar with it and I am happy that I contribute to the Wiki. Short reflection: I think the overall Wikipedia editing experience is good. I haven't edit any articles before. While through this experience, I like I learned more about how to use academic articles to make Wiki articles have more details. I think I would continue to editing the articles and make more contributions.

Through this semester's experience of revising wikipedia, I am now very skilled at adding content to wikipedia and finding appropriate material for referencing. through this process I have found that although I cannot directly quote from wikipedia when writing, there are many citation that are good sources that can be read independently I found that although I can't directly cite wikipedia content when writing, there are many citation sources that are good to read independently and cite as support for my own ideas.

Wl2671 The sources you used are not as strong or high quality as would have been ideal, though they are ok for now. Thanks for your feedback at the end of the assignment. Current with week 7.
