Miscredited in a hundred Wikipedia footnotes[edit]
Some years ago, a now-retired editor added O'Sullivan's "Economics: Principles in Action" to a large number of Wikipedia articles as a reference, complete with individual page numbers. Unfortunately, almost all these citations mistakenly listed the author as Sullivan. Other editors have corrected a few of these to O'Sullivan and set the correct "authorlink=Arthur O'Sullivan (economist)". I just corrected another dozen manually, but gave up since a wiki search on "Economics: Principles in Action" shows another hundred that still need correcting. Great if anyone has an efficient way to finish the task. —Patrug (talk) 23:08, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
At long last, I think I managed to fix them all – but sure wish User:Smallman12q had been more careful before copying his mistakes to nearly 200 different articles! —Patrug (talk) 14:18, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
