Linkage and annotation

I updated the linkage and annotations (not the listings; not even Kathie Wie and Kathie Wei-Sender with 6 wins each) without a key. Here is the key except for my oversights and mistakes.

• Boldface represents someone without a biography, high on the list. These were false bluelinks. As I recall understand and infer, User:Nicolas.hammond overlooked them; he intended to create a page for everyone with 10+ wins but relied on the display of redlinks here.
• Almost every bluelink targets the bridge player. I missed some redirects, certainly, and perhaps some recent articles (if the first column now contains a plain link and the page creator used disambiguation not recorded here).
• Both exceptions are boldface, Young LM-1500 Pairs and Landy.

Regarding the boldface today I

1. created Sally Young, a brand-new stub {{underconstruction}} without the NABC section;
2. determined that James Jacoby is an appropriate pagename (consistently used as book author and columnist) and fixed false links to Jim Jacoby thruout EN.wiki

• All bluelinks display pagenames; none are piped.
• The first column retains previous information about the ACBL database, such as it is --"(generally as it is in the ACBL database)", we say-- because I modified previous names only by parenthetical disambiguation now in use --always "(bridge)" now; always blue in the first column.
• A plain name in the first column and ordinary bluelink at right represent a redirect name and its target article. Plain at left means redirect if there is a bluelink at right.
• A plain name in the first column and redlink at right represent an ACBL database name ("generally", we say) and the pagename I know or guess we should use, if any. (Victor Mitchell (bridge), perhaps among other right-hand redlinks, is used elsewhere. But Vic Mitchell is also available, may have been his use name in bridge life, and was use somewhere before I unified all his links yesterday.)
• A plain name without any linked name is one that EN.wiki uses for the biography of another person. Those were false bluelinks, which I stripped.

I propose we WP:Move over redirect some pages: Marty A. Bergen, Sidney H. Lazard, Alvin Roth.

I updated my script based on the information on the file, e.g. alternative names. The output is on the Github site. I haven't bothered to cross check all the answers.Nicolas.hammond (talk) 20:05, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

@P64: - I've removed the link to Vic Mitchell from the page associated with this talk page, following the creation of an article on the author and publisher of that name. Mjroots (talk) 17:18, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
