Hockey World Cup 2018 Edit-a-thon

Hockey World Cup 2018 Edit-a-thon is an on-site edit-a-thon planned in collaboration with the Sports Department of Government of Odisha, The Centre for Internet and Society and Odia Wikimedia User group with a goal to improve and create articles on the sports of hockey in Indian languages. In November 2018, Bhubaneswar as the host city and as the third Indian city is organising the 14th Hockey World Cup.

In July 2017, we had collaborated with the sports department of Government of Odisha for Asian Athletics Championships Edit-a-thon, which resulted in improving or creating 14 articles related to Asian athletes and 300+ images of athletes into Wikimedia Commons. Continuing the collaboration with the sports department, we requested them to organise a pan-Indian edit-a-thon on the theme of Hockey. Sports Department and CSM Technologies (Communications Strategist of the event) will support 10 on-site edit-a-thons in 10 different cities in India.
