I like the idea as well as Tinu's naming of that. :)
While creating articles for CWG medal winners is important for sure, I would like this marathon to be a little free form, leaving it to "wikipedian opportunism" to pick edits to make.

A gem of an idea. I like Tinu's suggestion of creating articles for the CWG medal winners. I remember doing something similar (individually, of course) for the 2006 CWG.

Maybe Ravi or Tinu (someone more active than me, at least) could create a project page for this initiative. That would really get it off the ground.

Nice idea.. I was thinking the same for some time ..
I was planning to call it " Shut up & Edit" :)

Bangalore meetups happens second sunday of every month. So the next one will be November 14.

How about a theme like " 2010 Commonwealth games" ?
We will create articles for all Indian medal winners in english and indic languages ( which ever is missing).

Hi,

An idea / proposal for the next Wiki meetups:

There has been lot of talk. So would like to see some action :)

Can we decide a Sunday in next month and call for meetups in all cities at the same time? This time can be a bit extended the usual duration. Say, 4-6 hours?

During this time, all of us can sit down and do edits in Indian language Wikis, Indian topics in English Wiki? This way we can engage the onlookers and convert them to real Wikians. We can also ask people world over to edit Wiki at the same time. We can see what we have achieved at the end of the day !

Hope this will be fun and can be done every 3 months.

Regards,

Ravi
