Open Book Festival Edit-a-Thon 2014
The Open Book Festival Edit-a-Thon is an edit-a-thon run by both the Book Lounge (Cape Town) and Wikimedia ZA to create and improve articles on South African literature. This Wikipedia Edit–a-thon is focussed on South African Literature. The sole aim of this series of events will be to provide Wikipedia pages for as many South African authors as possible.
