Notes

edit
  • Please add  Y to the right of the bullet (i.e. {{tick}}) for any blue link that you have checked as running to an article about the right person; rather than removing the entry.
  • When you add a tick here, it is helpful if you also fill in the "wikipedia=" field in the Wikisource DNB header.
  • Please disambiguate blue links that run to a wrong, unconnected person.
  • This list needs updating: the DNB second supplement (suffix (DNB12)) is now online on Wikisource.
  • Names as given in the ODNB (online edition) are preferred, as reflecting current scholarship. They can be noted in the "extra notes" field in the Wikisource DNB header.
  • This list was compiled from Wikisource's DNB using the Map2WP tool. It therefore only ran over biographies for which the "wikipedia=" field in the Wikisource DNB header was empty.
