Wikipedia:WikiProject Dictionary of National Biography/VOTM 2012-01a
This is tracking page a of the DNB WikiProject's Volume of the Month Collaboration for January 2012. This month's volume is vol. 21 (Garnett to Gloucester) which is:
- Available complete on Wikisource at s:Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Vol 21 Garnett - Gloucester. Page a corresponds to the first column on that page.
- Already tracked in a form convenient for disambiguation checks on the "Epitome" page at Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/DNB Epitome 21. The footnote summaries on that page should resolve identification difficulties for the biography needed in almost all cases.
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 letter G on Wikisource covering the biographies lacking a link to WP. As the VoTM collaboration started there were 248 without WP link in vol. 21.
- 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 2.
- The entry is a "see" entry in the DNB, comparable to a 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. Please remember that only people who meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines can be added.
