Wikipedia Biography Pages and Genealogy
I noted your interest in genealogy WRT the wikipedia biography page set. I do most of my work on the genealogy-specific wiki Werelate.org, where a large (2M+ person pages) single source/tree genealogy is being constructed. I have sought to identify situations where a WP biography corresponds to a Person page in our tree, and we now have something like 19,400 person pages identified. What WeRelate lacks in new and interesting content for those pages - it perhaps adds in having predictable ways to handle genealogical facts. We also don't have the notability requirement of WP, so genealogically interesting (but otherwise uninteresting) people still get a person page. WeRelate is also a genuine non-profit, associated with a well-known genealogy library, and we use identical copyright restrictions to those of WP.

I'm interested in finding ways that WP and WeRelate can be mutually supporting. For the moment, WP has given much to WeRelate. I think there's good reason to believe that WeRelate has useful things to offer in return. For example, if you know the WeRelate person page for a biography on WP, a bot using the WeRelate information should be able to create and populate an Ahnentafel template with the leaves of the tree indicating the appropriate WP biography pages.

Thanks for listening - would love to hear from you if you're interested.
