I searched for Margaret Ann Hubbard on the internet.She does not have an Wikipedia page.
But,luckily I found a page of 'University Of Minnesota' where her Bio is given.

So,how about we add that page's Link instead of her Wikipedia page on her Author Page?
We might be able to add Her Wikipedia page once it comes to existance,can't we?

Her Librivox Page:
https://librivox.org/author/2347?primary_key=2347&search_category=author&search_page=1&search_form=get_results

Her Bio Page:
https://www.continuum.umn.edu/2017/12/archives-margaret-ann-hubbard/

If You don't wish to add this page,remove the thread after informing me.

I suppose this is what I will do to help this Domain:
Inform others of absent Wiki Pages of Authors on their Author Page.

We do normally prefer to stick to the wiki links in the author database because that is what the field is called so it will show on the Catalogue page as Wikipedia whatever is in it. And because we know the PD status of the Wikipedia page
There may be another way of having them show, someone more familiar with the author database working may have some more ideas.

Sorry,but I didn't understant much of what you meant to say.
Do You mean to say that we cannot have this link on the Author's Page as it might be seen as Copyright Infringement by the Law?

If so,You may remove this thread or ask me to remove this thread.I will not mind :) .

The catalog page shows the link as "Wikipedia Link" regardless of what website is linked. Thus we try not to use other sites besides Wikipedia.

If you are trying to find a lot of these missing links, I think you could post one thread and keep adding new information by posting new replies to that one thread, rather than starting new threads for each new bit of information.

By the way,Her only book recorded on Librivox,does it focus Primarily on the Life of Sir Johannes Gutenberg?

Author page updated.

I haven't listened to the book on Gutenberg and printing, but the summary states "it reads both as biography and as historical fiction, in addition to being an introduction to the history of printing. We follow along on the ups and downs of Gutenberg himself and his family life, and the collaborations with others that lead to printing." The genre is listed as Biography.
