Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Organized Labour/Online edit-a-thon February 2023

Keeping track of activity

We can look at recent changes on Articles tagged with this project, and also specifically all edits of users signed up for the edit-a-thon using the dashboard. Additionally, on 18 February will be online edit-a-thon, with many new users. Ensuring all new users have Wiki accounts will be key. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 21:25, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

Report by Grnrchst: This month I put most of my focus on the general strike article. Using the sources I had available, I managed to expand on the history of the general strike's theoretical development, debates over its use, and strikes that were carried out during the 19th century. Unfortunately I wasn't able to cover much of the 20th and 21st centuries during the allotted time of the edit-a-thon, so the chronology of the edits I made currently stop at 1914. But I'm generally pleased with the work I've done so far and may revisit this article at some point for further improvements.

I also went through the article on anarcho-syndicalism and expanded information about its theoretical origins, although the rest of the article still has some pretty major problems caused by frankly poor sourcing (self-published blog posts, anarchist/syndicalist magazines, etc.) I wanted to take a crack at the article on direct action, but due to my focus being elsewhere I only managed to fill out its bibliography, so those sources are there for anyone interested in working on that article. -- Grnrchst (talk) 11:33, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
