Hi Chris,
Sounds like a great event! Here's the one pager I use for the program.
Hope this helps.

In a few weeks time Wikimedia UK will be holding, jointly with JISC, a World
War I editathon. The aim of this is to bring academics who study the War
together with Wikimedians who write (mainly) Wikipedia articles. We have
some great people from both communities coming along (and there is still
space for more, if you're interested, jump in!)
As it involves university lecturers it's pretty clearly education-relevant,
though in fact I think it's more closely modelled on the British Museum
Hoxne Hoard collaboration than anything else.
The favour I need to ask is that while I have academics in the room I should
probably talk at least a very little bit about how the Education Programme
has worked in the US and elsewhere - is there a one page summary anywhere
that I can work in while I'm talking about more military history-focused
stuff?

Many thanks,
