I spent a year editing Wikipedia, from 7 July 2006 to 7 July 2007, and ended up making some 6,000 edits. Most involved adding birth and death categories to biographical articles. However, I 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 also wrote some scripts to match wikipedia pages to library name authority records and the ODNB. I'm currently on a wikibreak, though I do plan to check my talk page occasionally.

[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.
