I would like to ask for a specific kind of download if possible ... Let me first start mentioning what exactly I'm working on. I am building a specific-structured semantic network of words in biographies in Wikipedia. The network will save the relation between a certain occupation and words related to this occupation (according to what is mentioned in the articles in the corpus). Hence it would be so efficient to have the biographies with tagging of the profession/occupation. From what I noticed the biographies are ordered according to the occupation or to the name. So is it possible for me to have the biographies ordered according to occupation?
For this purpose you can use the categories. For example, if you want to have biographies of pediatricians only, you go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category%3APediatricians, and download all pages mentioned there, as well as all pages in the subcategories mentioned there (and in the subcategories of those subcategories etcetera).
