By Ananth Subray · Published

A day-long edit-a-thon was organised at Christ University Bangalore on March 12, 2016 to celebrate the Women’s Day and grow the women-related articles on Kannada Wikipedia.

Like most other Wikipedia projects, Kannada Wikipedia also has way to go with bringing a balance in articles of all genders. 10 undergraduate students from the university participated in this event and created 20 quality articles of 137819 bytes during this edit-a-thon. Two experienced editors participated as mentors. More about the event could be read in the event page on Kannada Wikipedia.
