    Wikipedia Edit-A-Thons are a network of grassroots events that combat Wikipedia’s biases by having participants improve articles of notable individuals from underrepresented groups. Notable individuals from minority groups are less likely to have a Wikipedia page, and those that do tend to have less robust ones. This affects everything from industry recognition to salaries and who receives Nobel Prizes. Together we'll explore the impetus for the Wikimedia Foundation creating and expanding Edit-A-Thons, how to start you own, and highlights from Edit-A-Thons that have succeeded as well as those that have gone disastrously wrong.
