Thanks for the info. The reason I am asking is that Tec de Monterrey is holding an edit a
thon on three campuses March 4-6. The reason it is so long is that these days are set
aside for major project work. Students work on one of various projects options as part of
a program called "Experiencias Retadoras" (Challenging Experiences). With luck,
we can break or set a record for the number of bytes added or # of articles or # of
participants as a way to motivate students.
I dont know yet how many students will be participating(but it will be higher than
anything Ive seen in meta), but they will all come from rhetoric and foreign language
classes. To prepare, students in these classes will have already done either a photo
upload/a translation/creation of a new article before the 4th of March (several classes
have already finished this). Essentially, they will do another round of the same or
similar during the edit-a-thon, but at a higher level since they are already familiar with
how Wikipedia works. Most students will be uploading photographs or translating featured
or good quality articles into es.wiki but some will be working on the creation of new
articles.
We have a page on es.wiki at

Just noting here that I'm looking forward to seeing the results from this
year's program evaluation reporting, since this information will be useful
for setting goals for projects and campaigns.
Cheers,
Pine

Hi Leigh,
We know for some editathons which have been voluntarily reported. You can
see what was reported to us in the first round of programs evaluation
reports at:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Evaluation/Evaluation_reports/2013/Ed…
The learning and evaluation team is currently in the middle of filling-in
data gaps and pulling metrics for a second round of programs evaluation
reporting this year that will include more data. You can read more in our
recent blog at:
