In the case of Georg Andreas Böckler I asked the article creator (only two edits here in 2011 and none in 2012, probably more active on the Dutch Wikipedia, where I may try and contact them). I could also ask on the German Wikipedia. I have (only recently) asked on the WikiProject Biography page, but am a bit stuck as to what other WikiProjects to ask at (History of Science? Architecture?). > Alternatively put a query on the talkpages of people who've edited the > article or relevant related ones.

Patience *is* a virtue. :-) Carcharoth _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
