Copyright infringement[edit]

Prabook is a copyright-infringing partial mirror of the English Wikipedia, as discussed at w:en:Wikipedia:Mirrors_and_forks/PQR#Prabook. I'm not sure whether it's appropriate to link it, but it's certainly not recommendable to use it as a source. Nemo 12:24, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Known common errors[edit]

While much of the content of Prabook comes from printed biographical directories like Who's Who in America (Q26256302), it often introduces significant transcription errors and typos. Since Mix-n-Match catalog has the potential to import lots of errors, it's good to be aware of them (or at least their potential). Errors I commonly see include conflating "March" and "May" in dates of birth and death, and mistaking initials E., W., N. S. as cardinal directions: e.g. someone named "Smith, John W." becomes "Smith, John West". I think the most ridiculous name mangling I've seen so far is turning Owen Cadogan Wolley-Dod (Q115704495) into Owen Cadogan WOLLEY-Department Of Defense. Be aware. Be smarter than bots. -Animalparty (talk) 03:53, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
