Hello fellow Wikimedians, librarians, and bibliophiles,
I hope you are doing alright, staying healthy and gearing up for the upcoming festive season. I am excited to share that we are bringing you another iteration of the 1Lib1Ref https://1lib1ref.org/ as we celebrate 21 years of Wikipedia next month.
As always, participation is pretty simple. All you need to do is add more references to Wikipedia articles and type #1lib1ref in the Edit Summary.
We are bringing you some exciting updates. For instance, seven more languages from the CEE region are now supported by the CitationHunt tool https://citationhunt.toolforge.org/. Thanks to the amazing volunteer efforts of Guilherme Gonçalves https://github.com/eggpi and Gorana Gomirac https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Gorana_Gomirac_(VMRS).
If you are already familiar with editing Wikipedia and would like to experiment a bit, we are piloting a couple of contribution methods for advanced contributors https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Wikipedia_Library/1Lib1Ref/Participate#Creating_new_articles_on_Wikipedia in the January 2022 round.
Read more about the campaign at the blog post on Diff https://diff.wikimedia.org/2021/12/16/1lib1ref-is-back-in-2022-with-more-languages-and-advanced-tasks/ . See you all on 15th January 2022!
Regards
Satdeep
