I'm a historian based in the UK, who has recently started work for Cambridge-based Internet search company True Knowledge[1]. I started editing Wikipedia 7 July 2006. Many of my edits have involved adding birth and death categories to biographical articles. I've also categorized some publications, schools, companies etc. by year of establishment. I have also initiated some pages, including Robert Leslie Ellis, John Grote, George Ballard, List of writers in Who's Who in Contemporary Women's Writing, and List of nineteenth-century periodicals. I've written scripts to match wikipedia pages to library name authority records, the National Register of Archives and the ODNB. Using Template:Venn, I've added about 1,500 references, for Cambridge alumni, to ACAD, a recent online edition of Venn's Alumni Cantabrigienses.

[edit] People prominent in ODNB lacking individual articles in Wikipedia

From 14,000 or so matches made (as of June 2008) between wikipedia and ODNB:

Some particular classes of people are relatively less well-represented in Wikipedia than they are in ODNB. One way to see this is to use words in their short description in the publicly accessible index to the ODNB.

  • Words correlated with relative under-represention (<10% in wikipedia): justice, headmistress, ejected, jesuit, quaker, topogragher, baron, friar, engraver, presbyterian, bookseller, clergyman
  • Words correlated with relative over-represention (>50% in wikipedia): economist, astronomer, director, explorer, philosopher, broadcaster, physicist, canterbury, zoologist, conductor, cricketer, king, australia

Looking at those in ODNB with gender-specific Christian names (around 90%), women in ODNB are less likely (24%) than are men (27%) to be in wikipedia.

[edit] Prominent in WorldCat as authors or subjects

Not all of these may be notable: their WorldCat prominence may be due to mistaken automatic collation of a name, or to the presence in WorldCat of a single archival collection with multiple items relating to an individual. Nevertheless, we are missing only 37 of the top 1500 as of 2007-10-20.
