The Editathon to improve health knowledge is an online editathon that will be carried out in collaboration with Creative Commons Venezuela with the guidelines of World Health Organization experts and other academics and students, with the collaboration of Wikimedia Venezuela.

We plan to host an online Edit-a-thon (or editathon) where members of the Wikimedia Venezuela and Creative Commons Venezuela communities, under the guidance of experts and postgraduate students, review, modify and enhance current Wikipedia pages related to subjects in the field of human nutrition, and others relevant health subjects.

An editathon is an activity in which several people come together with the aim of creating new content on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Other objectives of the editathon include:

  • Train people in hypertextual writing and editing for any site on the Internet and especially for Wikipedia
  • To attract new users to contribute to Wikipedia by creating and improving public health articles.
