I had hoped we were beyond manual lists and English-Wikipedia-only mentality...
I'll see if I can run it against my mix'n'match ODNB set, and cross-check with "female" on Wikidata later.

It's because Rich is using that page as a template to create the entries. I assume it's easier for the script that scrapes the database to just supply parameters to a template. The three crosses (or ticks) are for "confirmed", "linked" and "used".

Hi Richard,
Your list seems to have some technical problems: most of the entries seem to have many red crosses next to them (for no apparent reason), and the rest seem to blindly link to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Rich_Farmbrough/ODNB_entry Can you fix those issues? If so, it sounds like a useful list, that I'd be happy to copy over to enwp if there are editors that would find it useful.
Thanks, Mike

<sigh> I have a little list....
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Rich_Farmbrough/ODNB_articles_on_women_... (needs splitting up because it's so large).
Unfortunately I am prohibited from putting this on English Wikipedia.
It has been intimated that were I to encourage anyone else to do so it would be equivalent to doing so myself.
I shall have to have a word with The Powers That Be, I suppose.
All the best.
Richard.
