Hi Andy,
How about something like this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Mike_Peel/Guardian_obits
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Mike_Peel/Guardian_obits>
There seem to be some redlinks showing up there!
Other sources might be a bit more difficult to incorporate. E.g., the Independent's
obit RSS feed is empty, and the Telegraph don't seem to have one...
Thanks,
Mike

At the WMUK education summit yesterday somebody - I regret that I don't recall who -
mentioned a tool that scrapes a US newspaper for obituaries, and matches them to Wikipedia
articles (or highlights missing Wikipedia articles).
It was suggested that we might have a UK equivalent.
On checking, I see that the Guardian have an RSS feed for their obituaries:
https://www.theguardian.com/tone/obituaries/rss
<https://www.theguardian.com/tone/obituaries/rss>
Is anyone interested in working on such a tool (or adapting the US one)?
