About the event[edit]

The 1lib1ref campaign runs twice a year, and is designed to engage more librarians with Wikipedia. This is primarily by adding citations, but there are a number of other things that you can do! Following a presentation to the SLLG in 2019, Dr Sara Thomas will provide training for the group in how to edit Wikipedia, and encourage participants to create and improve Law-related information on the world's most popular encyclopedia.

Please note: you will need to bring your personal laptop and a packed lunch to this event.

Worklist[edit]

Please note that it is advised that half-day participants work to improve a page rather than create a new one, due to time constraints.

Articles to create[edit]

Please note that new articles should aim for a minimum of 250 words, and reference at least 3 external, independent, reliable secondary sources. Text MUST NOT be copy & pasted from any other source, unless that source is openly licensed. If the latter is true, this text must be marked as such. We recommend that new articles are started in Draft space.
