User talk:Carcharoth/Pages using CWGC links

Attempt to sort into categories. As of 22 February 2018, from a total of 3407, the breakdown is: 1626 people, 12 groups of people, 120 other, 62 battles and other conflicts or incidents, 618 cemeteries and memorials, 446 churches, 50 list articles, 401 places, and 72 military groups.

For context, the overall statistics for the CWGC are that the organisation commemorates some 1.7 million in 153 countries. Around 2500 dedicated war cemeteries constructed, with burials also taking place at pre-existing sites, bringing the total number to over 23,000 separate burial sites (the vast majority of which are in the UK). More than 200 memorials. Also over 65,000 other graves (non-war graves and war graves cared for on behalf of other countries).

Typical groupings and categories are: Cricketers, Association football players, Rugby union players, Rugby league players, Australian rules football players, Olympic athletes, Other sportspeople, Victoria Cross holders, George Cross holders, Generals, Other military personnel, RAF personnel and flying aces, Medical personnel (nurses and medics), SOE agents, Members of the UK Parliament, UK peers, War poets, Other creators (writers, artists, musicians), Architects and sculptors and CWGC people, and Other.

Many of those listed here are relatives of the casualties listed in the CWGC database. The connections to entries in the CWGC database can be one-to-one (direct match) or indirect (usually a relative or some other connection, or part of a listing of casualties). Connections to memorials and cemeteries can similarly be a direct match, or an indirect connection (e.g. a mention in the article on the wider region, or a mention in the article on the architects or sculptors that worked on the cemeteries or memorials). The connections can also be classified by war (WWI or WWII). Additional data includes year and date of death (if known) and service details, death details, burial/commemoration location, and inscription (if present).

Lots of Wikidata edits done recently have produced a list of 1708 people where there is a one-to-one correspondence between the person and an entry in the CWGC database. Comparing that to the current list will help with analysis of the data.
