Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Fwd: [Wikimedia-l] Gift Wikipedia a Citation on its 20th Birthday!

Namaskara, This is an interesting thought " Gift Wikipedia a Citation on its 20th Wikipedia". Perhaps some of you would like to try it/find the email interesting. Quick link: The tool mentioned at [1] in the email below is Citation Hunt: https://citationhunt.toolforge.org/ I checked and it looks like we do not have this tool for a few Indian languages. This page states how to add a new language support: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Citation_Hunt#Adding_support_for_a_new_lang… Thanks User:Titodutta ---------- Forwarded message --------- প্রেরক: Felix Nartey &lt;fnartey(a)wikimedia.org&gt; Date: বৃহস্পতি, ১৪ জানু, ২০২১ তারিখে ৫:২২ AM টায় Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Gift Wikipedia a Citation on its 20th Birthday!

We are adding a new layer of contribution to celebrate the humans that contribute to the success of the platform as part of the Wikipedia20 celebrations. Join the #1Lib1Ref Human Challenge by contributing citations to improve the quality of articles around human rights on Wikipedia and with top contributors receiving swags from the Wikimedia Store.[1] How can I contribute? Add a citation 1. Let the tool suggest a citation needed statements for you, or use the search menu at the bottom to choose a category (Wikipedia's version of a tag) of an article that you have a special expertise in (for example, British novels or Provinces of Afghanistan ). 2. Go to the article, find the statement 3. Click edit in the section header 4. Add the source following the source guidelines 5. Remove the "Citation needed" template (highlight and backspace in Visual Editor, or remove the template which adds that tag (it looks like {{citation needed}} )) 6. Add the hashtag #1lib1ref to your edit summary 7. Save the page.
