Event information
[edit]The Wiki4MediaFreedom edit-a-thon aims at improving the quality, number and languages of articles on media freedom and pluralism-related contents in order to increase public knowledge of media freedom issues and to raise awareness of the need of more transparency and accessible information in this field.
To this aim, the Madrid's edit-a-thon will gather media freedom activists, journalists, media experts and a group of experienced Wikipedia volunteers and Wikidata experts.
After an introduction 4-5 hours of collaborative editing will follow, with experienced Wikipedia editors working side by side with participants to edit entries, verify sources and references, fill missing information, translating contents.
Participants will be provided with:
- A list of articles in need to be improved;
- A list of sources that can be used as references;
- A list comprising a selection of quality articles proposed for translation into other languages, depending on the participants’ language skills.
Participants may edit in English, Spanish or any other language they wish to use.
The edit-a-thon is a follow up to a GLAM project implemented in 2015 by OBC Transeuropa in cooperation with Wikimedia Italia as a part of the project European Centre for Press and Media Freedom and aiming at enriching and systematising the articles on media freedom and pluralism in Europe in several linguistic versions and training / assisting OBC Transeuropa’s staff to allow them to contribute autonomously in Wikipedia beyond the end of the GLAM project.
The Wiki4MediaFreedom edit-a-thon is at is III Edition, after the successful experiences of the I edition held in Belgrade in November 2016, and the II edition held in Sofia in November 2017.
