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/Edit-a-thons
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:
