1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica

[edit]

hi, i'm up through the G's, volume 12, about half way done creating articles in EB1911. so the category w:Category:Wikipedia articles incorporating a citation from the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica with no article parameter could be knocked in half. cheers.

halfway through EB1911 - vol 1-12 out of 28, when 28 and part 27 is done. so around 2500 could be linked now. around 5-10% will be harder, as false positives or different name conventions are hard to fix. and will still need to find the ones where unattributed, uncategorized,[1] and incorporate all the DNB and ODNB for the british. at the current rate i may get done in a month or two, if i don't get distracted.

as an update. i am starting volume 16 / letter L. it will take a little longer, but shouldn't be more than a year. concentrating on the bios. finding a few where the 1911 attribution was lost in history, will correct those. Slowking4 (talk) 22:44, 31 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
