Wikipedia has launched a series of editing events, to improve LGBT-related information across the website.

Beginning in June, states around the US began hosting edit-a-thons, gatherings where individuals congregate to edit Wikimedia projects to include a wide variety and grater scope of LGBT related information.

The page 'Wiki Loves Pride 2014' says about the campaign: "One of the aims of Wiki Loves Pride will be increasing the number of people and perspectives contributing to LGBT information on the site, as well as encouraging institutions to add their authority information, research and images to the public domain."
