- Ask @cogdog questions about community-forming and modes of interaction.
- Ask @mburtis questions about the assignment bank and building the architecture of ds106.

This is just some data mining from the reading: ”THE the Professor Who Fooled Wikipedia Got Caught by Reddit”
There are always bad guys and thus vandalism happens everywhere.. esp on the web because its where it is most likely to be seen
Vandalism is done to influence people so a great place for that would be the WWW.
That’s why Wikipedia is hard to rely on because its edited by whomever desires too and among us people, unfortently there are bad guys, all you have to do is hope they either disappear (unlikely to happen) or won’t come
