Hi!
Wikipedia would like to link to LT author pages. In theory this could be done easily if some LT user has added a link to Wikipedia from the LT author page - you just reverse the link. Unfortunately the links seem not to be included in Common Knowledge - at least I don't get them via the Webservices API.
Could you provide a dump/feed with all author pages that link to a Wikipedia page (in any language because Wikipedia language editions are linked and you can get the mapping via Wikipedia's API)?
Such dump could also help other projects that already link to Wikipedia pages to get an additional link to LT for free!
