What's a Write-a-Thon?
It's a bunch of people getting together on a wiki at a particular time to do a bunch of writing. It's like an online party! Heck no, it is an online party! It's also an excuse for infrequent wikiers to show up and actually pitch in.
When?
Our first Write-a-Thon is taking place Wednesday, August 1. Any new article you create, and any edit to a new article that you make, when it's August 1 in your part of the world, will count.
August 1 starts on July 31, 1200 UTC, in New Zealand, and ends on August 2, 1000 UTC, in Hawaii.
What are the rules?
Rules? This is a party! There are no rules!
Well, OK, maybe there are a couple rules:
- If our first one goes all right, we'll have a Write-a-Thon the first Wednesday of every month.
- To participate, you only have to do two things: (1) start a new article (even just a stub will qualify, if not too short), and (2) make a substantive edit (not just a copyedit) to somebody else's new article. Then you can list your name here as a partier.
- Ahem!--Notice there are TWO rules here, boys? I'm going to move myself up to the top of the list if you don't edit something! Aleta Curry 20:45, 31 July 2007 (CDT)
- er...I see you have to make a substantive edit to another new article. Duh! Well, that does make it harder...never mind....Aleta Curry 23:58, 31 July 2007 (CDT)
The Partiers
On Wednesday, list your name here like this:

- Todd Coles - created Joe Louis, will edit something :)
