This Wikipedia Editathon was hosted by Communicate OER, and held at the conclusion of the OER13 conference at the University of Nottingham. Conference participants would have had the opportunity to attend a "Welcome to Wikipedia" session earlier in the day; others were welcome to join us, regardless of the level of experience.

We planned to focus on articles about openness in education, but any articles could be targeted.
