Oh, my - we're doing to have a LOT of those! Thanks for thinking of it.

Anyone with Wikipedia editing access can change these, so please step up and do so! :)

Someone could probably make this their own project: Find the authors in the catalog that have Wikipedia pages, and change any links on their page to their new LV author page. I'm going to move this thread to Volunteers Wanted - Other Projects.

HOWEVER, see the first post in THIS THREAD for cautions about and procedures for adding links to Wikipedia pages.
Serial novel: The Wandering Jew
Medieval England meets Civil War Americans: Centuries Apart
Humor: My Lady Nicotine

An even better and easier way to add authors and books links in Wikipedia would be LibriVox Wikipedia templates. There already exists a LibriVox Wikipedia template but it is not working well. Examples of good templates in Wikipedia are those for Project Gutenberg:
i) For adding authors - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Gutenberg_author
ii) For adding books - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Gutenberg

Both done
