 sounds, er interesting:

Who will author the future of King’s Cross? You
are invited to join us for an in-person and on-location
collaborative update to Wikipedia’s entry for King’s
Cross Central.

It looks like it could be a fun discussion about sources and what an
encyclopaedia is for. I rather like the idea of a slightly edgy
editathon.

I've put it in the diary, I might be available, it's on my bus route. :-)

A sledgeathon just gives me the mental image of trying to edit Wikipedia

be successfull.

Mindtobogganling. OTOH trying to edit when being heckled by people trying
to put you off your stroke does sound vaguely familiar.
