Hello,

The May campaign for 1Lib1Ref is starting soon!

Giovanna Fontenelle shared her goals for this round in a Diff post:

In short:

You are invited to decrease the gender bias on Wikipedia by adding references written by people who identify as women.
You can customize Citation Hunt with your own list of suggested articles by clicking the 'Customize button' next to the language selector at the top of the tool. You can then simply enter a list of articles. https://w.wiki/5A6U
We're hoping to add 12 new languages for this campaign and particularly need translations for Assamese, Bihari, and Tagalog. If you want to add another language to Citation Hunt, the process is documented here: https://w.wiki/5A6V

AfLIA is leading its third African Librarians Week (#AfLibWk), with the theme: “Strengthening African narratives on Wikipedia and sister projects”.
