Talk:1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/List of contributors

From Wikisource

I have made a start at this, but there will be a gap for a couple of weeks until I get back from holiday. I have checked it against the original, but please correct any typos. Apwoolrich 20:02, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Notes on editing the list

These notes might help any editor following me, and are guidelines for editing my mistakes.

The contributors' entries have a distinct format in the printed version and I have followed it here.

1) The names are always in bold capitals, with the surname first, and academic initials are always separated by a full stop and a space.

2) The code in brackets ending the name line is the code following articles. Some codes have an *. This is to indicate which is which when there are two contributors with identical initials. These codes are in regular face, not bold, each letter being ended with a full stop and a space. Some codes end with 2 letters together eg J. SM. This is correct. In the orginal the second letter is always a small capital. I don't think its significant and have ignored it, but if it is the second letter needs an HTML code to make it smaller, but never a lower case letter, please, as they have to match the codes which go at the ends of the articles.

3) The articles' names are always separated by a semi-colon, never a colon. The words 'in part' are always in italics, but not the brackets surrounding them. Some article names have part of the wording in italics. I have followed the copy in the printed version for coding this.

[edit] Typo?

"WERITT, CRARLES, M.Ao F.C.L, F.G.B., F.R.AJ. (C. E.*). Perhaps CRARLES should be CHARLES; and, given that the group is "E", surely WERITT is wrong? Also, is F.R.AJ. correct? Or should it be F.R.A.J.? I have no access to the original, so I can not check129.94.6.28 16:56, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
