Edit-a-thon

An edit-a-thon, sometimes known as a wikistorm is an organised event in which a group with a vested interest will arrange for its members to edit Wikipedia in order to push their ideology.

Edit-a-thons are particularly associated with feminism.^[1]^[2]

Feminist university professors openly offer credit for editing Wikipedia^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]with the sole purpose of increasing feminist ideology within Wikipedia articles, and to censor male-positive discourse and research on men.
