Motivation

"LBT is a growing digital archive of books, pamphlets, and periodical essays [...] the archive uses notes, commentary, and links to highlight relationships among their readers and writers. [...] Documents made available through a Creative Commons license [...] As the semantic web develops in the years to come LBT will strive for integration with the expanding network of romantic texts on the internet ...". As with Spenserians above, this is a digitisation project from Virginia Tech, and was begun about 2008. [1] The list of biographies is extensive.[2] Charles Matthews (talk) 10:33, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Charles Matthews, Sic19, Pigsonthewing:✓ Done Now LBT person ID (P2977). I tried to make a good regex, hopefully successful. Please let me know when it encounters false positives. --Lymantria (talk) 05:46, 20 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
