1Lib1Ref 2021

Hi BooktopusSteph

Queensland Memory is participating in Wikipedia’s 1Lib1Ref campaign again this year.

I found your name in the project pages for previous years and wanted to know if you would like to do some editing again this year?

Tania Schafer and I have scheduled 2 pop in sessions in the Edge’s Digital Media Lab, 10am-12noon Thursday 27th May or Wednesday 2nd June but the great thing about Wikipedia is you can do it wherever and whenever suits you! T

If you’re interested in helping us get the number of State Library edits up this year please read the 2021 project page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/State_Library_of_Queensland/1Lib1Ref_2021.

Before you get started please sign up to the Dashboard so we can keep track of the number of edits SLQ has made. Or send me your Wiki name I can sign you up.

This year we are focusing on getting our JOL Blogs referenced or added as External Links on relevant Wikipedia pages, I can email you a document for blog content ideas. However if this doesn’t interest you see our project page for other ideas.

Let Tania Schafer or myself know if you have any questions.

Thanks

Whoops! Thanks for bringing this to my attention. The AUSTLANG dataset (which I normally work with) is CC-BY and I forgot that the text/comments are not. MetadataMindset (talk) 00:25, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

are you up with the...

Wikidata/short description slippage (well, thats one way to call it) on the articles you are updating?

It is very useful if you are able to get it working... JarrahTree 05:30, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
