Edit-a-thon

An Edit-a-thon is a coordinated event where a group of people come together to improve online content, typically on platforms like Wikipedia. Participants collaborate to add, update, or correct information to make articles more accurate, comprehensive, and balanced. These events often focus on specific topics, such as underrepresented communities, science, or history, aiming to diversify and enhance publicly accessible knowledge. Edit-a-thons can take place in person or online and are valuable for community engagement, knowledge sharing, and promoting diversity in digital information.
