Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/1911 verification/Suggestions for non-inclusion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Below is a list of articles removed from the main list of articles from the 1911 edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica that may have inadequate or outdated information. That list was generated from the original 1911 topics list and articles with the {{1911}} reference template. The list below is made up of items proposed to be removed without adding a redirect or article.

Many entries on this page are due to:

  • OCR scanning errors in the online source materials, generically referred to as "typos"
  • Artifacts due to the logic of the automated tools that generated the topic list
  • Inappropriate grouping of two topics into one article in Encycopedia Britannica

The single-character flags are:

  • Articles with no additional marking were from the original topics list
  • Articles with * had the {{1911}} template
  • Articles with + were on both lists

B[edit]

  4. Baedeker Karl () - Both Karl Baedeker and Baedeker are good

  11. Barbosa De () - Refers to Manuel Maria Barbosa du Bocage (EB1911 incorrectly has "de" instead of "du")
  12. Bardowiek () - The town is definitely now called Bardowick. I can't find definitive references whether this is an old spelling or an EB error. There are some pages on the web that refer to Bardowiek but nothing about the different spellings. I don't feel comfortable making a redirect.
  13. Barnes; Bernes, Juliana Berners {{search|Barnes]];+[[Bernes,+Juliana+Berners}} - refers to Juliana Berners

  23. Benjamin Curtis Stannard, Joseph Porter is an inexplicable mix of Benjamin Curtis Porter and Joseph Stannard.
  24. Berri Berry derives from the article title "Berry, or Berri" (see Berry (province)).
  25. Besas Bes comes from EB "Bes, or Bēsas"; Bes is in WP and Besas is a redirect.
