Stats 26 October 2009

 * Magnus's tool shows 1446 DNB article here
 * Category:DNB No WP shows 249 articles not identified with an enWP article (after a pass yesterday trying for matches)
 * Articles on enWP showing the DNB text template are at roughly 1250.

The missing number, of the enWP articles with unlinked DNB template, because the matching article is not created here, is also of interest. See my posting to the WikiProject talk page. Charles Matthews (talk) 13:52, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Stats 14 November 2009

 * The tool shows 1650 articles, meaning we have passed 5% done.
 * Category:DNB No WP currently has 331 articles.
 * WikiProject DNB/Data capture will produce a number of wanted articles from WP once checking is completed.

Charles Matthews (talk) 12:48, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Stats 19 November 2009

 * WikiProject DNB/Data capture shows 616 enWP articles needing DNB text to be sourced.
 * Category:DNB No WP currently has 352 articles.
 * There are 1685 DNB biographies here.

The deduction is that there are 1333 biographies linked to enWP. Not all of those links can be assumed to be to an actual article, though. Charles Matthews (talk) 17:31, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

=2010=

Stats 1 January 2010

 * There are 2008 DNB biographies here.
 * Category:DNB No WP currently has 453 articles.
 * WikiProject DNB/Data capture shows 544 enWP articles needing DNB text to be sourced.

So there are apparently 1555 biographies linked to enWP. One thing that has changed from the previous set of stats is that there are many fewer articles with the WP link field "blocked" (an effort having been made to find those old ones); and this has inflated the number in the Category:DNB No WP at the expense of the "apparent links" statistic. Charles Matthews (talk) 10:15, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Stats 2 February 2010

 * There are 2523 DNB biographies here.
 * Category:DNB No WP currently has 629 articles.
 * Makes 1894 biographies apparently linked to Wikipedia.
 * The live figure for Wikipedia articles needing DNB text comes out as 336. (Caveat: DNB01 articles should be counted separately. But the template use on WP is approximate as far as that is concerned.)

These appear to be made up of 352 artefacts under A and B, almost all caused by the use of author subpages; leaving 47 down to other reasons, typically being that wikification to an author page will not be matched by a link back.
