Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/DNB Epitome

This page provides links to 63 pages of listings and concise biographies based on the 1904 summaries to the Dictionary of National Biography (DNB). Each linked page lists the names of people in 63 volumes of the DNB. The list pages form the basis of work to be done, being:

Checks that links on the linked pages point to a wikipedia article about the same person
Addition of new articles for all red-links based on DNB text
Checking whether blue-linked articles would benefit from additional text from DNB

Notes[edit]

{{Cite DNBIE}} and {{DNBIE}} automatically link to the correct page in the DNB Epitome in the Internet Archive. For example:

{{cite DNBIE|title=O'Brien, Murrough (1614–1674)|page=961}}

Lee, Sidney, ed. (1903). "O'Brien, Murrough (1614–1674)". Index and Epitome. Dictionary of National Biography. Cambridge University Press. p. 961.

These templates can be used in the same way as the {{DNB}} templates in Wikipedia articles, however they can also be used to allow an editor to easily find and then proof read, and if necessary correct, the brief biography of each entry in the footnote in the pages above.

See DNB for more information.
