How it went

Hard at work adding references to Wikipedia

Te Papa held a 1Lib1Ref session for staff with guests Giantflightlessbirds and Ambrosia10.

The core team put in a full day of edits, joined by several other staff who got signed up and made their first edits, or worked on Wikidata for the first time. The mood (and the food) was great, with heaps of collaboration and chasing down rabbit holes.

The librarians who participated are all eager to keep things rolling, and all the new editors are preparing their next contributions.

By the numbers:

• 12 editors, including 4 new sign-ups
• 17 new wikidata items created
• 102 articles edited, 167 wikidata items edited
• Over 1000 total edits
• 410 references added!
• 91.5K words added
