Hello fellow Wikimedians, librarians, and bibliophiles, 


I hope you are doing alright and staying healthy in this new year. The January round of the 2022 1Lib1Ref starts on the 21st birthday of Wikipedia,15th January, and will run until 5th February.


I am thrilled to share that 2 more languages from the CEE region have been added to the list of languages supported by the CitationHunt tool over the holidays, which makes it a total of 9 new languages added for the upcoming round of the campaign. Huge thanks for the volunteer efforts of Guilherme Gonçalves and Gorana Gomirac


As always, participation is pretty simple. All you need to do is add more references to Wikipedia articles, type #1lib1ref in the Edit Summary. In case you are a newbie and would like to learn how to add references to Wikipedia articles, Open Foundation West Africa is hosting an online Citation Masterclass on 14th January at 4 PM UTC. Sign up here.


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 in the January 2022 round.

 

If you are an organizer, remember to add your local events to the campaign dashboard, so we can learn and track activities happening across the world.


Check the blogpost for more information about the campaign : https://diff.wikimedia.org/2021/12/16/1lib1ref-2022


See you all in a couple of days! 


Regards

Satdeep
