I want to keep Wikipedia pages up-to-date
JabRef improves -- and Wikipedia pages should keep up!
Simply click on "Edit" (top right-hand tab).
Currently existing pages are:
Deutsch: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/JabRef
English: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JabRef
Español: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/JabRef
Français: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/JabRef

Русский: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/JabRef
Portuguese: https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/JabRef
Svenska: https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/JabRef
Українська: https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/JabRef
If there is no page for you own language, you can easily create one.
