The Sourcerer references do NOT come from Wikipedia! I am using third-party
sites for which we already have IDs (e.g. GND) to auto-validate values, and
add the appropriate reference if identical. Basically, what you want to do,
on the cheap;-)
Whoops, sorry, I was probably confused by:
1. the Sourcerer **user script** [1], which claims to "get a list of all
external links from all language editions of Wikipedia for an item";
2. the **Sourcery** tool [2], which claims to load "all URLs in all
associated Wikipedia pages".
So, third-party references indeed, but still curated by Wikipedians, right?
That's what I meant, I should have been more specific in my concern.
Is it correct that the Sourcerer **bot** is a different thing, or am I
getting this completely wrong?
Cheers,
Marco
