An edit-a-thon can take many forms, but essentially it's when groups of new or experienced editors get together to learn how to edit Wikipedia together, either face to face or online. Sometimes these events are based around a theme (like increasing the number of articles about women on Wikipedia) or a target (10 new Wikipedia pages).
