On March 11, 2017, 132 Wikipedians went to the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) to participate in an ‘edit-a-thon’ (a portmanteau of edit and marathon) organized by Art+Feminism.
The goal was to add and update as many articles about female artists as possible.
In 7 hours they added 27,400 words via 789 edits across 168 articles. 10 new artists were added and 19 common resources were uploaded.
If you’re wondering what to do with your community next, picking a topic and hosting your own ‘create-a-thon’ isn’t a bad idea. It creates something useful and builds a stronger sense of community.
What collaborative resource could you work on and create in a short amount of time?
