#1Lib1Ref ("One Librarian, One Reference") was a Wikipedia publicity drive that asked each librarian on Earth to mark the 15th anniversary of the foundation of Wikipedia, on 15 January 2016, by adding a citation to the online encyclopedia.[1][2][3]

The organisers estimated that if each librarian on the planet spent 15 minutes adding a citation, then the English Wikipedia's backlog of 350,000 [citation needed] templates would be cleared.[4]

The week long event, which ran from 15-23 January, used the hashtag "#1lib1ref".[5]
