All in the interests of making your research outdated ;) no interest at wikien-l, so I posted a link at the wikipedia talk pages for the wikiprojects for physics, linguistics & poetry. would you be able to make your lists of the redlinks you found from the print encyclopedias you used to wikipedia?

Next time, in some sense, for example, we'll do better, as a result. Hm… the phrasing of the abstract did come out a bit… non-native.

We probably should have combined them for the purposes of the graph. E is generally US history & Americana, F is history of the Americas. They are often listed together as E-F, but when we coded the articles, it was actually to the next level of specificity. (E.g, to two letters, not just one). @David, thanks!

Both "E" and "F" are labelled "Amer. History" in the graphs (and one of them is an under- the other an overrepresented category). Is it only me, or is there an error in the categories?
