Individuals engaged in mass collaboration in Wikipedia may join to work recurrently with the same partners. It may well be that a significant portion of Wikipedia content is produced this way. Therefore, it is important to study how such groups emerge. In this paper, we argue how such recurrence may involve identity work that creates a sense of 'we-ness.' We provide a case from Wikipedia, focusing on how individual Wikipedians came together to work on a collaborative Feature Article task. Furthermore, the same people came together in other content collaborations, and they identified themselves as a group. The findings suggest that identity work can bridge mass collaborations to the emergence of smaller-scale sustained groups. Our theoretical contribution brings together research streams on mass collaboration, group dynamics, and identity. This offers interesting pathways for further research.

"A thinking human's tool kit must contain the six Ws and one H, with which there is not a question one cannot ask. What comes first followed by Why, When, Where, Which, Who and then lastly and lastly only How Good trouble shooters and seasoned detectives, surely Sherlock Holmes and his ilk and perhaps even Lord Siva relied on this powerful basket of questions. "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you" NT Mathew 7.7. The problem is that we have not been taught How (repeat HOW) to ask the right question and that where the six Ws come into play:"

"One of the things I learned early in my work as a professional investor is that the world is literally awash in capital. There is so much money seeking return - from traditional mutual funds and university endowments, to family offices and family foundations, to Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds and developing-world oligarchs with global investment appetites - that there simply aren't enough places for it all to flow. Further, because these pools of capital are so large, managers need to deploy capital in large increments simply to make it feasible to manage and track their portfolios."

CrunchBase is used by millions of consumers, analysts, and investors every month to track what's happening in the fast-paced world of tech startups, and we're growing. The key to our continued success is building a robust and scalable system that can capture and reflect the complex relationships amongst participants in the industry. Right now, we have the unique opportunity to technically and experientially "reboot", taking all the lessons of running CrunchBase up to this point and build a brand new CrunchBase from the ground up. Sound exciting? It does to us.

Not the vision of the individual, but rather the shared vision of the community. A desire to learn, to make a difference, a desire to share ideas and do something worthwhile. We come together in these spaces because of the vision, to be inspired by others, as well as to offer inspiration ourselves. It's also about our field of vision being wider with more eyes: more people bringing a wider range of experience, a wider range of sources, creating more wisdom and meaning. The breadth and differences within community make it stronger. Vision inspires us.

""This market is completely overvalued, or at least fairly valued, by almost every measure, and you know quantitative easing is coming off, so everyone has to reallocate. But how can you reallocate to bonds in this market?" said Bob Rice, managing partner at Tangent Capital Partners."
