New content imported

Before and after the server move, I imported some new content to the wiki (at last!):

  • Most peers and peerages of England, Scotland and Ireland, 1630-1669. There are probably errors and omissions because I mostly imported the data from Wikipedia. Many subsidiary and courtesy titles are certainly missing. As well as drilling down from the links, you can find individual holders of titles by typing in the search box. The page names start with the person’s surname, and there are redirects that start with the distinctive part of the title. For example, Essex, Earl of, 3rd (Robert Devereux) redirects to Devereux, Robert (3rd Earl of Essex). Arranging this data led to creating a new property: Ordinal. This is the number of a title holder such as a peer or baronet.
  • MPs in the Long Parliament now have constituency links, referenced to Brunton and Pennington. There may be some mistaken identities where I had to rely on Wikipedia for disambiguation, and a few MPs are still missing because I couldn’t positively identify them. Things will improve once Andrew Gray has imported History of Parliament data to Wikidata. I’ve temporarily removed links to the Short Parliament because the data I had was so inadequate and it will be easier to redo it properly with nothing there.
  • Every surviving Buckinghamshire loss account that I know of now has a page and is linked to the place it’s about, so they should show up in the query for linked sources on pages for the relevant settlement.
  • All (probably) relevant articles from Journal of the Society for Army Historical Research. Most of these link to archived copies at JSTOR, except for the last two years, which are still behind the moving wall.
  • The Making of the English Landscape series now has all the county volumes that were published (the series was never finished, so some counties are missing). These link to National Character Areas covered as well as counties.
  • Contents of Midland History and Helion’s Century of the Soldier series have been updated to the end of 2023.
