Want to share your veterinary knowledge and expertise with colleagues and students in the profession, then why not join us on the 20th November in London for a WikiVet and WikiMedia [http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Edit-a-thon Edit-a-Thon]? This is part of a series of national events jointly organised by [http://www.jisc.ac.uk Jisc] and [https://wiki.wikimedia.org.uk Wikimedia UK] to encourage more users to author wiki content.

This first ever veterinary edit-a-thon will feature introductions to both WikiVet and Wikipedia and include training for anyone new to wiki editing. Content development will focus on common diseases that vets see in everyday practice, but contributions with a wider veterinary relevance are also welcome.

The event is designed for vets, students and those with an interest in publishing veterinary content on the internet. Wikipedians will be on hand to help so no previous experience of wikis or web editing is required! By the end of the day, all participants will have had the chance to create and publish some new content on Wikipedia or WikiVet.
