Console utility regarding citations of humans in Wikipedia list articles.

Personal utility

I created this console application to assists me in my endeavour to improve the quality of the Deaths per month articles on Wikipedia. For some time now Wikipedia requires citing a source when listing someone in an article but many are still missing. This tool is able to easily and automatically generate these citations (references) from various sources.

The New York Times Archive API

Another useful feature is the use of archive API of The New York times. By accessing their data all deceased in a Deaths per month article can be cross-referenced with the obituary data of the archive. A text file is generated containing the added and updated NYTimes citations. Since it is in wikitext format its contents can be pasted directly into the list article.
