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.

See you all on 15th January 2022!
Regards
Satdeep
