One editatone or editing marathon is an activity in which several people come together to create new content on Wikipedia, combating the gender gap of the free encyclopedia and making visible the absence of articles related to women. With this objective, from Wikiesfera we propose you to participate in a editatona to publish on Wikipedia relevant women's articles in the Decorative Arts.

We carry out this activity in collaboration with the National Museum of Decorative Arts – MNAD (@mnad_madrid), of the Ministry of Culture, with the aim of making more women artists and designers visible on Wikipedia, as well as profiles of pioneering entrepreneurs in running companies and factories linked to the Decorative Arts.
