From 15 January to 5 February 2026, the latest round of the global #1Lib1Ref challenge took place. Known in Czech as Přidej citaci, it aims to improve the quality of Wikipedia articles by adding references to individual entries.
#1Lib1Ref runs in countries around the world and is designed to motivate librarians to contribute at least one reference to an existing article, following the example of encyclopaedists. On the Czech Wikipedia, a total of 9 users took part this time, adding or improving 153 references. Every participant also receives a badge for taking part!
Articles that gained new references include, for example, entries on the Kaňon Labe nature reserve and the Ohryzek Járy Cimrmana memorial.
The following participants from this year’s first round were drawn at random to receive a small prize:
- Lukáš Nekolný
- Meloun1212
- Henryk Siuda
- PetrVod
- OndraMix
We would like to thank all participating editors and congratulate the winners.
The next #1Lib1Ref challenge will run from 15 May to 5 June 2026.
