Abstract:

This edit-a-thon will be the culmination of a five edit-a-thon series to improve vaccine safety information on Wikipedia. The idea behind the event series is also to provide training for subject matter experts in science and health, including the Vaccine Safety Net, so they can become active participants in Wikipedia. So far we have organized multilingual events with Wikimedia Mexico, Wikimedia DC and Malayalam Wikipedia in English, Spanish and Malayalam.
