From 15 January to 5 February 2025, another global challenge (not only) for librarians took place. The Add a Citation Challenge (internationally 1Lib1Ref) aims to improve the content of Wikipedia articles by adding references to individual entries.
Add a Citation is being run in all countries around the world to encourage librarians to contribute at least one reference to existing articles, following the example of encyclopaedists. On the Czech Wikipedia, a total of 20 users took part this time, editing a total of 230 references. Each user involved will also take home a prize from the challenge!
Among the articles where references were added are entries on the History of Albania or Marilyn Monroe.
The following users have been selected from among the participants of this year’s first challenge and will receive small prizes from the competition:
- Aktron
- ČsrVK
- Arciol24
- Dublena
- Meloun1212
Many thanks to all participating editors and congratulations to the winners.
The next Add a Quote challenge will run from 15 May to 5 June 2025.
