the Tyson article. I am basically going through the "missing" list and checking each existing Knowledge article for a match. I've done perhaps 50 so far. Perhaps five of them have been complicated for one reason or another. Based on a comment you made on another talk page, I am removing items from the list when I can make a link from the correct Knowledge article when I must select among a set of possible authors based on a Knowledge disambig. (example:

569:: Sure, go ahead an remove the category, if it doesn't help. Less stress on the system :-) Also, I don't know a wikipedia-internal way to show the recent additions on the "What links here" page; however, you could store a version of this list (that you have completely checked) in a file or a wikipedia page, and run a diff; then, go over the changed entries and store the new version. Like a "manual recent changes". -- 1597: 1522: 1449: 1376: 1300: 1072: 1156: 958:

In fact, the first two are the same person, and the second two are the same person. The two separate peopl;e are husband and wife, and they co-authored most of their respective books. You can cross-check this on Amazon. You can even cross-check by looking at the title pages on Gutenberg, e.g. Look at

Last not least, if there'd be a collection of biographies at PG which we could use as a working basis, as we do with the 1911 Britannica, that would be great. I could even generate another crossover list, so one can see with a glance which biographies are (a) wanted for PG and (b) available at PG. In

How exactly are you going about your stated mission of " providing links to PG texts". I'm systematically going through PG boks looking for images which would grace the wiki, but would be interested in the same systematic approach to ensuring that the wiki links to PG authors & books: possibly it

910:

Thanks! Not only are they "the same", but the Gutenberg work is from 1894 and republishes Tyson's much earlier work, but with a really nice short biography in the introduction. Therefore, it's a better secondary source for Tyson than the source for the original Knowledge article, so I added a bit to

Hi, IMHO a big help would be a PG authors list, automatically created once in a while, in "wikipedia notation". It took me quite a while to fetch the author lists from PG, then regexp the PG "Last, (First) Initials"-style PG list into the wikipedia-style "First Last" lists. So, if this could be done

128:

Hi, just read the article, and it was quite good--very interesting, and well written. Just one note--the title always goes in bold, unless it would be italicized in ordinary use, in which case it gets bolded and italicized, using five little marks, not just three. Oh, and one question--could it be

cover, sorted by "relevance". "Relevance" could mean the number of works of an author at PG, or how popular the works of this author at PG are (number of downloads), or something else entirely. Otherwise, I'll check around for lists of "important" writers on the net, which I can cross-check against

115:

When I went to view the article, I saw an older form of it (before the sentence about languages was added) I did other things for five minutes then reloaded and still got the older version. Then I checked the page history and somewhat hastily left a message on your talk page. Just after that, I saw

467:

So, the best way to get things rolling is probably to make the lists more widely known, and emphasize that these authors are worth writing about, as they obviously have created something that was worth to be included in Project Gutenberg. I, for one, will get back to tagging the existing authors

1684:, a Knowledge stub article you created in 2006. I noticed that the article had no references, which may have been fine when you first posted it, but nowadays good sources are wanted. I wasn't able to find any references for the "house name" author, but I was able to find several sources for 1461:

I did not revert to an earlier version, according to my memory of the edit and also according to the page history. The current version I see has the specific links in it as I would expect after my edit. Either I'm not understanding what you are saying or maybe there's a caching issue?

by PG, maybe with the birth/death years where available, that would be great. A little script could then filter out all authors that already contain a "gutenberg author" template on wikipedia. But, this will be only helpful for updating the lists in the future, they're fine for now.

1199:

that you started and noticed that it's a direct copy of Grove's "A Dictionary of Music and Musicians", as stated in the references. I just wanted to verify that the publication is in public domain... I'm not entirely certain, so I thought I'd double check before taking any action.

652:

Hi, while going through the Gutenberg author list, I noticed that PG has two separate entries, "Joris Karl Huysmans" and "Joris-Karl Huysmans", both with the same birth/death year. Probably the same guy; as you are a PG editor, I thought you might like to fix that.

906:

I've checked that this is the same "Edward Tyson", and yes, it does appear to be. So I've added his birth and death dates in the PG catalog, (they will not be visible until tomorrow) and used them to disambig the PG link. Andrew Sly 01:17, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

1692:, so that the article can be expanded with additional information about the novels. Since you are the article creator I wanted to contact you to see if you would have any objection to the article getting a new name. Please let me know your thoughts on this. 550:

Personally, I prefer to just link to your "list of works" for an author, rather than linting individual links explicitly here. This avoids having to keep two lists, one at PG and one at wikipedia, which will get out of sync as soon as PG adds new works.

Hello Ruzulo. This is just a follow-up to say I've been reading more about changing article titles, and find it will not be possible to change the name of the article you wrote. I'm sorry for bothering you about this. Thank you for all of your work.

You wrote "No, we do not make biographies of authors at Project Gutenberg.", which means I was unclear in my above answer. I meant if there are any books with biographies on PG. I already found some by searching for "biographies" at your site.

Finally, how well do you understand the workings of the PG end; for instance, have you any knowledge of how to get links back to WP from PG author pages (some have links to the WP author page, some have not. best wishes

Hi Andrew, I tracked you down even though you didn't sign your comment on my user page! User distributed proofreaders didn't work, so I copied User:Scepia/Project Gutenberg from your page. Thanks, Kristine

Unfortunately, this causes PG to display a disambig page. I tried every random syntactical trick I could to bypass the disambig and go directly to "Tyson, Edward" but nothing worked. Do you have a solution?

Hi, I just read the article as well. It's good. :) The only thing that struck me is that it's quite complimentary and the point of view isn't really ascribed to the people who hold it. Have a read of

about the PG author with that name. So, I'm afaid we can't run a bot on wikipedia to introduce "gutenberg author" templates, unless it could check the birth/death years as well.

I am glad you like the template, at least enough to use it. I added it to the first several author's listed on Gutenberg's "Top 100"—seemed like a good place to start. --
