Whilst this is very good news, on my limited sampling
it's not something I'd be sucking into the Wikipedia
using a conversion script.
The first article I examined was one about W.G. Grace
(19th century English cricketer who revolutionised the
game). Only the first paragraph of what appears to be
a much longer article is there, and it is laden with
typos - some probably from the scanning process, others
from the original.
It looks like the rest of the article on W.G. Grace is at the beginning of
the next page;
http://97.1911encyclopedia.org/G/GR/GRACES_THE.htm
I noticed something similar with the mount circeo article which I pasted
across, too; they did a very poor job of chopping the source text up, but I
think it's all here.
Still, it's an outstanding resource and I look
forward to
incorporating a lot of material from it.
Me too. It's just a little more labor-intensive than simple copy-paste or
scripting can manage. :)
