From Wikisphere, in coordination with the A Cooperative Abode and subsidized by the Ministry Culture under the project “Creating free knowledge communities with a feminist approach”, we invite you to participate in the Editatona of Galician writers to be held within the framework of the Galician Literature Day 2026.
One editatone or editing marathon is a collaborative activity to create and improve content on Wikipedia, reduce the gender gap and make visible women’s contributions to history, culture and society.
On this occasion, the day will be focused on the creation and translation of articles about Galician writers and their works, both in Spanish and Galician, helping to expand their presence on Wikipedia and to recognise their work in the cultural field. During the session we will work both practical aspects of editing and the publication of content, in a space of collective learning and accompaniment.
This activity is part of Wikisphere's push to local publishing communities. It seeks to give continuity to the work started in Galicia, reinforcing the local node of publishers WikiMorada, which took its first steps in June 2024, favouring the creation of an active network committed to free knowledge with a gender perspective.
