How will we quantify the efforts on the same day without a theme ? Blind editing on anything can be "done on any day". If we can stick to a theme ( any) , we can see the results by the end of the day.

Commenwealth was just a suggestion of theme and can be replaced by any other.
Let people interested in creating new articles , create them on various language wikis. The articles may not neccassarily be full done, stubs are more than enough to start.
Let people interested, help in categorization related to those articles.
Let people interested in transaltion, help that way.
Let those interested in photographs, go hunt images on flickr with proper licenses, for those articles.
etc etc..

Just my thoughts, that's all ... If most people feel this is too restrictive, then we can have free editing too :)

"Shut up and Edit" was indeed inspired by "shut up and hack". :)
I didnt know that many people didnt like that phrase then.
In that case, let it be better called as Wiki Marathon / WikiParty.

Tinu,

As others have opined let this be free to do any Wiki activity following the Wiki way. This will also help new comers who may be afraid / hesitant to edit. They can even do simple tasks like fixing typos.

Let us a get a Meta page created and post banners in all Indic Wikis.

Ravi
