Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] India Edit a thon
Micro Report on the Edit a thon The edit a thon happened on the 22nd of April 2012. The scheduled time was from 1200 hrs to 1600 hrs though editing stopped a good 2hrs early. I guess, the time was either too long or it was because it was the middle of the afternoon. Users, Karthikndr, Netha Hussain, AshLin, BPositive and I were part of the edit a thon. The editing we did included, rephrasing segments, rewriting lines, copyediting, adding and replaceing references. I even ended up with an vandalism reversion! User:Netha Hussain added a lot of good images, while User:Karthikndr added info about terrorist attacks. User:AshLin and BPositive did some work with references. I feel that there was a lot more we could achieve with such events. Maybe they require more planning. -+-Regards, -- ___ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from the list / change mailing preferences visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] India Edit a thon
Something at perhaps a slightly higher level. Pick an article that can be expanded more, get people from other languages, and have a multi lingual edit a thon. I think this would be better.
