description The article analyzes three editathons in Wikipedia, in its edition in Spanish. These are collective and simultaneous edition events on the free encyclopedia, aimed at improving coverage of gender, local content and underrepresented groups. The experiences were carried out in Córdoba, Argentina, during 2018 and 2019. The cases are: 1) Editatona de Mujeres Latinoamericanas Arte y Feminismo; 2) Editatón educativo de la ciudad de San Francisco; 3) Editatón: Comunidades originarias del centro de Argentina. We focus on four emerging dimensions: integration of volunteers and institutions; online and offline organization; exploration and recognition of biases; appropriation of the activity. The results show educational potentials in this collaborative knowledge building platform. The methodology is the recording of experiences by researchers-participants, added to the use of secondary sources online.

Se trata de eventos de edición colectiva y simultánea sobre la enciclopedia libre, destinados a mejorar la cobertura sobre género, contenido local y grupos poco representados. Las experiencias se realizaron en Córdoba, Argentina, durante 2018 y 2019. Los casos son: 1) Editatona de Mujeres Latinoamericanas, Arte y Feminismo; 2) Editatón educativo de la ciudad de San Francisco; 3) Editatón: Comunidades originarias del centro de Argentina. Nos enfocamos en cuatro dimensiones emergentes: integración de voluntarios e instituciones; organización online y offline; exploración y reconocimiento de sesgos; apropiación de la actividad. Los resultados muestran potencialidades educativas en esta plataforma de construcción colaborativa de conocimiento. La metodología es el registro de experiencias por investigadores-participantes, sumado al uso de fuentes secundarias online.
