A very useful resource, thank you.

I have created a proposal for a Wikidata property for the site's IDs:


https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal/Old_Bailey_Proceedings_ID

please comment there.

Yes, that's a decent template including the Old Bailey identifier, created in
2012 by Andrew Gray. 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

[John Levin]

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.
