From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

The second one, held in November 2017, is called an edit-a-thon for the Wikipedia Asian Month. Of the attendees, half of them are veteran editors or community facilitators, and others are newbies. For the first two hours, the veterans introduced Wikipedia to the newbies: its principles, the basic editing skills and ways to contact the editors. Then veteran editors guided newbies to write articles they chose. At last, we find that the event has little correlation to the Asian Month, as well as a low editor retention rate. Nevertheless, this is the first editing tutorial that we organized.
