Connecting Wikipedia articles to reliable sources through new template

[edit]

Hi All,

Please have a look at my proposal and contribute with your opinions: Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)#Connecting_Wikipedia_articles_to_reliable_sources_through_new_template

Thanks, Adam Harangozó (talk) 14:12, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

DNB00, DNB01, DNB12 biographies all moved to subpages at enWS

[edit]

To inform the enWP community that the DNB works at English Wikisource have moved to be subpages of their respective works:

Redirects are in place at this time. The pertinent enWS and enWP DNB related templates have all been updated to utilise the new links. If anyone sees other templates or components that need addressing then please let me know. Thanks. — billinghurst sDrewth 10:54, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

DNB citations which do not use the custom templates

[edit]

There are citations to DNB which use templates other than the custom ones like {{cite DNB}}:

There are also citations to the ODNB that are not using {{cite ODNB}}

So if you have time on your hands perhaps you can work through some of them -- PBS (talk) 09:05, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @PBS:, I do make replacements when I come across them. It is the kind of operation that might annoy some people, but perhaps that is less common these days. "Time on my hands" is a nice idea, but besides Wikidata work, I'm trying to get the digitisation finished of s:Alumni Oxonienses: the Members of the University of Oxford, 1715-1886, another big old reference work, and move references to it to {{alox2}}.

The numbers are currently still over 100 each (My searches kept timimg out at about 100). — PBS (talk) 22:30, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
