Just used in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Williams_(baby_farmer) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Marks as far as biographies go, according to "What links here" on the template page. Using the template does allow tracking usage of the Old Bailey page, that way and by tools.

[Wikimediauk-l] Old Bailey Online links
Dear list, The Old Bailey Online is a collection of all the surviving transcripts of trials heard there from 1674 to 1913, curated to a very high standard. IMHO, it's probably the single best English historical source on the web. http://oldbaileyonline.org/ Mentioned on wikipedia under AHRC: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arts_and_Humanities_Research_Council#Old_Bailey_Online As I have recently edited two entries to include links to trials on there,* I was wondering if there has been any more systematic efforts to add these sources to entries? Is there a convenient way of locating entries that might be relevant? * Vladimir Burtsev: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Burtsev and Sarah Whitehead: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Whitehead I have also started a category, people tried at the Old Bailey: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:People_tried_at_the_Old_Bailey And just found that there is a template for OB trials: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Old_Bailey But not found it used anywhere.

[Wikimediauk-l] The Good Fight episode 6
Anyone else watch "The Good Fight",[1] the sequel to "The Good Wife" which I didn't get drawn into? The first series is showing on More 4, and episode 6, “Social Media and Its Discontents” which I saw earlier this week, was certainly one to get me shouting at the television. An absurd plot, but it had a Chicago law firm acting as "ArbCom" in a ban appeal by an attention-seeking troll. Starting with the proposition that websites do have terms of service, I think I could teach a class on the whole business of online toxicity and "fake news" by critiquing the handling by the scriptwriters. Seriously, I do suggest that "literacy" in these issues should not be left to TV.
