The event was described as:
- Performing Wikipedia invites participants to collaborate on updating the on-line encyclopaedia with materials about performance and live art. A marathon attempt to write the legacy of performance into electronic public space, Performing Wikipedia is at once a mediated collaborative performance, and an intervention which propels the history and representation of live art into this significant online encyclopaedia/resource.
This project was started by Tyrenius, 22 May 2010.

Article guidance
- WP:NAll article subjects must be notable. This means multiple coverage in independent sources.
- WP:VAll article content must be taken from verifiable sources.
- WP:RSThese sources must be reliable, i.e., with editorial oversight, not blogs or self-published.
- WP:NPOVThe sources should be used in a neutral way.
- WP:REFBThe source for material should be cited inline. After the article text to be referenced, put:
- <ref>Details of the source here.</ref>
- For formatting a reference, see this sectionand the section after.
- WP:NOROriginal research, i.e., the wikipedia editor's speculation, opinions, personal knowledge and theories are not permitted.
- WP:PEACOCKDo not use inflated language, e.g., "innovative", "leading", "groundbreaking" etc, unless taken from a source, in which case put in quotation marks and reference it.
- WP:WEASELDo not use vague terms, e.g., "some people say", "many critics say". Name the people/critics/etc.
- WP:COPYRIGHTDo not cut and paste text. It is a copyvio (copyright violation). Minimal essential quotation (appropriately marked) is permitted (when referenced).
- WP:PARAPHRASESo is close paraphrasing. Take facts from different sources, and rewrite them in your own words.
- WP:UPEWrite in plain English. This is a general encyclopedia so excess specialist "art jargon" should be avoided.
- WP:ELExternal links (EL) in the external links section should be added with caution. Usually material should be added to the article and the EL used instead as a reference.
