[edit] Systematic corrections

Whenever I find an article in violation of the WP:MOSBIO, as explained fully at User:Laddiebuck/Nationalism, I tend to correct it with the following tag:

  Please see [[WP:MOSBIO]] or [[User:Laddiebuck/Nationalism]] for a full explanation.

So far, I have corrected

• Daniel Craig
• Desmond Llewellyn
• Sean Connery
• Catherine Zeta-Jones
• Dylan Thomas
• George Best
• Anthony Head
• Charlie Chaplin
• Aleister Crowley
• Cary Elwes
• Depeche Mode
• Elvis Costello
• Francis Crick
• Graham Chapman
• H. G. Wells
• John Cleese
• J. K. Rowling

If you find similar instances in need of correction and correct them with the above tag, please add them here.

I fully expect to have angered most UK-resident nationalists or closet nationalists editing Wikipedia, but that is a different story.

[edit] For specific countries

[edit] United Kingdom

  Tag: [[UK|British]]
  Flag:  {{flagicon|UK}}
  Country: [[United Kingdom|UK]]

[edit] Random shell scripts

For my benefit as much as anyone else's. No neatness implied, just set down as I typed it in.

[edit] Fields Medals

How many Fields Medals per country? Save the list to a file, then:

  cat list | awk -F'(\\(|\\))' '{print $2 ":" $4 ":" $6 ":" $8}' | tr ':' '\n' | tr '/' '\n' | egrep '[A-Za-z]' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn

Currently:

    13 US
     8 France
     7 GB
     3 USSR (6 with Russia)
