WHAT

1Lib1Ref:fixing reference errors is an edit-a-thon event for participants and members of the Ig Wiki Librarians Hub. The aim of this event is to ensure clean articles on the Igbo Wikipedia by fixing existing reference errors that were generated during the process of translating and publishing articles. There are no [citation needed] tags on the Igbo Wikipedia but there are reference errors. Fixing reference errors was introduced to enable Igbo Wikimedians join the global event. In addition, during this event, participants will be encouraged to participate during the global 1Lib1Ref cite-a-thon. Participants will be taught how to add citation on the English Wikipedia, eventually joining the May 15th - June 5th cite-a-thon.
