Students will study how local cultures are represented and promoted on the Internet. Students will look at on the ways Matsuyama and Ehime local culture are represented in English-language web sites, with a particular focus on Wikipedia. Students will learn about the history of Wikipedia, the ideas behind it, and how to use it, and they will learn how to contribute to and create Wikipedia pages.
Wikipedia can also include
images. For information on how to add them, see the
picture tutorial. You'll need to consider copyright: see the section on copyright below.
It's better to upload images to
Wikimedia Commons instead of Wikipedia, so that they can be used for other
Wikimedia projects. (You'll need to create a separate Wikimedia Commons account.)
Copyright
To avoid legal problems Wikipedia is quite strict about following international copyright laws.
Uploaded images need a
copyright tag to show that the image is legally used.
Historical photographs created before 1946 or published before 1957 are in the public domain according to Japanese copyright law. You can use

Matsuyama Castle (Iyo) was taken over by
Iruzime at 1:56 p.m., in a surprise maneuver. However, the move was opposed by
Viewmont Viking, who reverted the edit, stating it was "not encylopedic in tone." The skirmish continued until 2:58 p.m. when
Iruzime's third edit went through unopposed.
Icuc2, arriving late on the scene the following day, fixed the formatting, changed a sentence, and suggested some changes.
