Here's a simple idea for something that could be a lot of fun.  Think of it as a monthly jump-start--let's try it.
== What's a Write-a-Thon? ==
It's a bunch of people getting together on a wiki at a particular time to do a bunch of writing.  It's like an online party!  Heck no, it ''is'' an online party!  It's also an excuse for infrequent wikiers to show up and actually pitch in.


The first Wednesday of every month, let's have a "Write-a-Thon."  To participate, you only have to do two things: (1) start a ''new'' article (even just a stub will qualify, if not *too* short), and (2) make a substantive edit (not just a copyedit) to somebody else's new article.
== When? ==
Our first Write-a-Thon is taking place '''Wednesday, August 1.''' Any new article you create, and any edit to a new article that you make, when it's August 1 in your part of the world, will count.


This will be the homepage of the Write-a-Thon. Our first one will be '''Wednesday, August 1.'''  Any new article you create, and any edit you make, when it's August 1 in your part of the world will count.
== What are the rules? ==
Rules?  This is a party! There are no rules!


Well, OK, maybe there are a couple rules:
* If our first one goes all right, we'll have a Write-a-Thon the first Wednesday of every month.
* To participate, you only have to do two things: (1) start a ''new'' article (even just a stub will qualify, if not ''too'' short), and (2) make a substantive edit (not just a copyedit) to somebody else's new article.  Then you can list your name here as a partier.
== The Partiers ==
On Wednesday, list your name here like this:
On Wednesday, list your name here like this:
* [[Your Name]] - created [[Title]], edited [[Title]]

What's a Write-a-Thon?

It's a bunch of people getting together on a wiki at a particular time to do a bunch of writing. It's like an online party! Heck no, it is an online party! It's also an excuse for infrequent wikiers to show up and actually pitch in.

When?

Our first Write-a-Thon is taking place Wednesday, August 1. Any new article you create, and any edit to a new article that you make, when it's August 1 in your part of the world, will count.

What are the rules?

Rules? This is a party! There are no rules!

Well, OK, maybe there are a couple rules:

  • If our first one goes all right, we'll have a Write-a-Thon the first Wednesday of every month.
  • To participate, you only have to do two things: (1) start a new article (even just a stub will qualify, if not too short), and (2) make a substantive edit (not just a copyedit) to somebody else's new article. Then you can list your name here as a partier.

The Partiers

On Wednesday, list your name here like this:
