[Wikimedia-l] Just a few more days to go for the January #1Lib1Ref!

[Satdeep Gill]

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 <https://1lib1ref.org/> 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 <https://github.com/eggpi> and Gorana Gomirac
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Gorana_Gomirac_(VMRS)>.

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 <https://ofwafrica.org/> is
hosting an online Citation Masterclass on 14th January at 4 PM UTC. Sign up
here <https://t.co/ViqhZiJxc7>.

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.



*If you are an organizer, remember to add your local events to the campaign
dashboard
<https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/campaigns/1lib1ref_january_2022/overview>,
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

[Wikimedia-l] 1Lib1Ref is back in 2022 with support for more languages and advanced tasks

[Satdeep Gill]

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  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
. Thanks to the amazing volunteer
efforts of Guilherme Gonçalves  and Gorana Gomirac
.

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.

See you all on 15th January 2022!

[Satdeep Gill]

Hello everyone,

The annual #1Lib1Ref campaign invites librarians, researchers, book lovers
and wikimedians across the world to add missing references to articles,
helping make the encyclopedia more reliable and useful.

Are you excited about the 2022 edition of 1Lib1Ref as we celebrate 21 years
of Wikipedia in January 2022? Do you have any ideas on how to invite more
people to participate? Would you like to help organize and promote the
campaign in your communities?

You can join the 1Lib1Ref community via the Libraries (
librar...@lists.wikimedia.org), and 1Lib1Ref (1lib1...@lists.wikimedia.org)
mailing lists, or by joining the Wikimedia + Libraries User Group
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_and_Libraries_User_Group>.

[Wikimedia-l] Re: Announcing The New Grants Strategy for the Wikimedia Foundation

[Satdeep Gill]

Hello all,

This is so amazing to see, Kassia. Especially as someone who was a part of
the Resource Allocation Working Group of the Movement Strategy, this is
definitely a big leap in the right direction for Knowledge Equity. I am
especially excited to see a separate fund for mission-aligned
organizations, which traditionally had to compete with seasoned Wikimedians
or Affiliates.

I would also like to add my 50 cents here regarding the Rapid grants,
though. I completely echo with what Bodhi has said. With the Rapid Fund
having being increased to a limit of 5000 USD, I believe in some regions,
such as South Asia, some intermediate projects can also be executed using
them. As the entire year's plan of certain group was being executed in 2000
USD, with a bigger amount, there is an opportunity for them to potentially
start hiring some paid positions (one or two) along with buying equipment
or renting office spaces, which has traditionally been discouraged under
the previous Rapid Grants, and perhaps that will help prepare them for even
larger grants in the future. So, as Bodhi has already said making the Rapid
Fund as flexible as possible will really help the smaller affiliates to
test and innovate and grow!

Best
Satdeep
