Wikipedia : Reliable sources

Summary

Wikipedia has to be based on 'reliable, published' sources from reliable beings like being qualified with majority, authoritative organizations and so on. Wikipedia cites the piece of work itself, the creator of the work, or the publisher of the work. Any of the three can influence reliability. It should be demonstrate to other people. What and how  to distinguish reliable sources are depend on context, time, and academic fields. For example, there are numerous information of diverse areas. Context, one of them, affects the reliability so editors have to cite sources focusing on the topic at hand where possible. Sources should directly support the information as it is presented in the Wikipedia. Meanwhile, news sources are sometimes combined factual content with subjective content. As the reputable reporting sometimes contains errors, it is important to attribute the opinion to the author in the text of the article and not to represent it as fact if the statement isn't authoritative. On the one hand, questionable and self-published sources tend to have negative reputation for checking the facts or have defective editorial oversight. It contains extremely subjective points of dispute and so on in their own web pages or sns. If outside citation is the main indicator of reliability, we'd better to be careful to adhere to other guidelines and policies.

Opinion

What is meant by that? / Lee hayoung

Q. Society is not determined by technology, nor is technology determined by society. Both emerge as two sides of the sociotechnical coin. What is meant by that? A. So to begin with, I think that society and technology are the relationships that influence each other, the concepts that one cannot include or dominate. There is technology in society, and technology exists because there is society. I think it's an inseparable relationship, so I think it can be expressed in both sides of a coin.
