Wikipedia Edit-a-thon

Every year, communities around the world converge to improve the coverage of underrepresented individuals and topics on Wikipedia. Since 2018, M+ and Asia Art Archive have partnered up to host edit-a-thons every year. The collaboration is part of a larger commitment to address the underrepresentation of art and visual culture in Asia online. Our goal is to increase access and contribute to discussions on open-source knowledge platforms. Since 2018, we have held a number of workshops, where participants have improved or created over fifty Wikipedia articles per year.


Check out our upcoming event(s) or see the articles participants have helped create, edit, and improve in the past.
