For December, of the 113 books catalogued, I added these 10 LV Book Links onto their Wikipedia pages:

17318 Nicholas: A Manhattan Christmas Story (Dramatic Reading)
19887 Revolt In The Desert
18051 The Wind Boy
19892 The Land of Hidden Men
19969 Black No More
19316 The Gamester
14542 Hearts of Three
20033 Over My Dead Body
18613 The Death of the Gods
19913 The Man Who Knew

These 3 already had links:
19573 The Country of the Pointed Firs (Version 2)
18147 Baseball Joe on the Giants
19478 Love's Labour's Lost (version 2)

These 3 foreign books have Wikipedia pages which our American code is unable to link to:
15797 Childhood - Детство (version 2)
18465 El conde de Monte Cristo, volumen 1
19764 El rey de las montañas

The remaining 97 titles have no Wikipedia book page to date.

Added the following links on Wikipedia back to our author pages, from January cataloged projects:

Cleaned up Wallace Wattles and Archibald Alexander (Wattles: someone had linked directly to Archive audios that were ours but not our Archive pages, but said they were ours; I removed them, as there was already an author link. Alexander: someone had entered an author link to LV, but I changed it to the author template.)

Extrapolating, does that mean we have added 20 new authors to our catalog this month who have Wikipedia pages? I'm curious who is generating all these Wikipedia pages. It isn't us, is it?

Extrapolating, does that mean we have added 20 new authors to our catalog this month who have Wikipedia pages?

No, because some of the authors have been in the system for a long time while the project was in progress. The author is added to the catalog/database when the project is set up, so it could be months or longer that they're there without a completed project to tie them to (and thus a Wkp link to make).20

What it does mean is that we've added at least one project for 20 authors in our system who haven't had a project yet.

(It's a bit of a subtle distinction, I guess.)

I don't make Wkp pages, and it seems like most of the ones I add links to have been around for a long time. *shrug* Who knows who makes them. Santa's elves, in the off season?

However you look at it, we've added value to 20 Wikipedia pages and 20 author experiences! Bravo.

For February, of the 103 books catalogued, I added 14 Audiobook Links onto their Wikipedia pages.

20188 Inspector French and the Cheyne Mystery
20197 Supernatural Horror in Literature
19838 The Virgin of the Sun
19557 Tracts for the Times, Volume 1
19758 The First Voyage of James Cook Volume 2*
19754 King Arthur
20007 Jephtha
20225 The House at Pooh Corner (version 2)*
20233 The Great Gatsby (version 4)*
20236 At the Mountains of Madness, Version 2*
18842 Hedda Gabler (version 3)
20136 Bushido: The Soul of Japan (Version 2)*
19903 The Red and the Black

* In some cases I found Version/Volume 1 was not linked, and added a Yes to the spreadsheet. An MC might want to add the Wikipedia Page link to these catalog pages.

19950 Memoirs of the Lady Hester Stanhope, Vol I, I was able to link to Lady Stanhope's Wikipedia page, which mentions her memoirs, but there was no specific book page.

Of the remaining 89 titles. 7 were foreign language pages which we can't link to (yet), 6 books already had links (from previous versions), leaving 76 with no Wikipedia book pages.

Here are the 7 foreign language projects that have Wikipedia pages. We can't link to them because they don't accept our English code. Is there anyone out there who could set this up? Probably a different code for each language.
19562 Por el camino de Swann Tomo I
11703 Der Doppelgänger
18340 Ana Karenina
20170 Die Frau in Weiß Band 2
20219 Die Frau in Weiß Band 3
20258 Die Frau in Weiß Band 4
19636 The Motor Boys in Mexico; Or, The Secret of the Buried City

* In some cases I found Version/Volume 1 was not linked, and added a Yes to the spreadsheet. An MC might want to add the Wikipedia Page link to these catalog pages.

I looked through the versions/volumes and added Wikipedia book links where they were missing.

Sweet!

A. A. Milne had TWO entries (exactly the same) in the External Links section. I removed one of them. I could not find the culprit in the page editing history, although I didn't look very hard.
