Hi, Ed. Do you pick up user pages or just wikipedia entry pages? (I added mine to my user page, just for fun.)

Quoting Ed Summers <[email protected]>:

Hey Daniel,

It looks like you used the worldcat template [1]:

    {{worldcat id|id=lccn-n79-21614|VIAF=82088490}}

which doesn't actually do anything with the VIAF parameter. Instead
(or as well) you'll want to use the Authority control template:

    {{Authority control|PND=118559796|LCCN=n/79/21614|VIAF=82088490}}

After I did that and the crawl ran again it showed up at linkypedia
[3]. Thanks for giving it a try!

That's really cool, Ed. I just added the viaf # for Immanuel Kant. Took just a few seconds. I'll subscribe to the linkypedia rss feed and watch for notification.

Big +1 for promoting the use of the Authority Control Wikipedia
template.I know i'm being a bit of a broken record, but you can watch
as people add these by looking at or subscribing to:

Also, re: Jonathan's good advice to check out Wikipedia Miner [1] I
just ran across Duke [2] today, which looks like it could help guide
record linking a bit.

"""
Duke is a fast and flexible deduplication (or entity resolution, or
record linkage) engine written in Java on top of Lucene. At the moment
(2011-04-07) it can process 1,000,000 records in 11 minutes on a
standard laptop in a single thread.
"""

Haven't tried it yet, so YMMV, etc.
