What is an edit-a-thon?

A Wikipedia edit-a-thon is an organized event where a group of people come together to edit and improve Wikipedia pages. The events typically include basic editing training for new editors and may be combined with a more general social meetup. The word is a portmanteau of "edit" and "marathon".
