Wikipedia:WikiProject Dictionary of National Biography/VOTM 2012-02b

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is tracking page b of the DNB WikiProject's Volume of the Month Collaboration for February 2012. This month's volume is vol. 48 Reilly - Robins which is:

NB that the Wikisource articles will in many cases already link to the corresponding Wikipedia biography. It is, however, not possible to guarantee either that these links are 100% correct in their target; nor that the absence of a link means the corresponding biography is not here. Please update the "wikipedia=" field on Wikisource where appropriate. There is a categorised list from Riccaltoun on Wikisource covering the biographies lacking a link to WP. As the VoTM collaboration started there were ? without WP link in vol. 48.

Redlink tool

This "ranked missing articles" tool lists the redlinks in descending order of the number of times they are linked to, in articles. (Note that the baseline is two links, coming from DNB project pages.)

In the Epitome but not here?

There are around four cases where the Epitome list may differ from the biography list (volume ToC) on Wikisource:

  • The listing is for a subarticle. Subjects of DNB subarticles may or may not be notable; please deal with these in the "Comments and assessments" columns.
  • The biography occurs in the 1901 first supplement, not in the first edition. These cases can be found by consulting s:Dictionary of National Biography, 1901 supplement, Volume 3.
  • The entry is a "see" entry in the DNB, comparable to a soft redirect or disambiguation page here.
  • The entry is such as "Oxford, Earls of", i.e. a listing rather than a biography.

There are a few anomalies also. Because of OCR problems, the Epitome pages may be incorrectly ordered, as well as having typos.

Hard cases and annotation

In some cases the DNB article is hard to locate in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (ODNB): this occurs if a different spelling or different name is used; if the subject is relegated to a subarticle in the ODNB (e.g. Irish saints, who in some cases are bundled into general surveys); or because modern scholarship has decided the person in question never existed. Please help avoid duplication of effort in these cases, if you have ODNB access and find such issues, by leaving a note here and on the Wikisource biography.

Caveat

Please remember that only people who meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines should be added. The DNB text does not always establish that notability. Further research may.
