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:

Today, we'll have an interview and question and answer session with Class of 2021 UW Department of Communication student (and COM 481 alumni) Hunter Brown. Hunter Brown posted his first video to TikTok in late December 2019 and started COM481 (then called 482) in the first week of January 2020. Over the quarter that Hunter was taking the class, he grew his followers to more than 15,500 using own creativity, intuition, and some of the concepts and techniques from the course. Hunter has since grown his TikTok following to more than 1.3 million people in just over two years.

Check out Hunter's TikTok, linked from the syllabus, and come ready to ask him any questions you have. I'll start us out by interviewing Hunter about his experience growing an online community. Then we'll open up to your questions.
