We're going to be doing our first Wikipedia case. To do so, we'll be looking at five different "WikiProject" communities within English Wikipedia. In some of these cases, there is an enormous amount of material on the pages and subpages. Poke around for 10 minutes or so on each until you get a sense for who is participating and how and why people build commitment to the WikiProject such that you will be comfortable answering the questions in the reading note. Please ''do not'' try to post or disrupt on the project for the purposes of this assignment in any way. We're guests in their communities and you only need to look:
