Wikipedia Edit-a-thons

Despite Wikipedia’s popularity, there is still a need for Wikipedia to keep recruiting users. There is a popular face-to-face event called the “Wikipedia Edit-a-thon”, which takes place every year in many different cities and locations including UNC-Chapel Hill.

An Edit-a-thon typically has a theme, like science or women’s history, and users and non-users alike are invited to edit Wikipedia articles together. Food such as Pizza are usually provided.
