Questions about famous people from Lincoln
Who is the most famous person from Lincoln?
Ewart C. Atkinson (Canadian politician) heads the list, ranked by how many Wikipedias cover them. Next come John Glasier and Parker D. Mitchell.
How many famous people were born in Lincoln?
5 are placed here on Wikidata; the rest have no article to confirm it.
What is Lincoln known for?
Here the share is 100%; across Canadian towns it is 22%.
Who is the earliest-born famous person from Lincoln?
John Glasier, from 1809; the most recent birth on the list is from 1900.
Who counts as from Lincoln?
A birth counts when Wikidata puts it inside Lincoln’s municipal boundary (Statistics Canada’s 2021 census subdivision), a hospital or district there included, and the person’s English or French Wikipedia article agrees. Those who only moved here are not on the list, and neither are adult performers or people famous mainly for crimes.
Why is someone missing?
Some have no birthplace below the province on Wikidata, some were born in a hamlet without a page here, and some have an article that names another place or none at all. The page lists only what Wikidata and Wikipedia agree on, and it follows their corrections at each refresh.
Birthplaces, descriptions, years, occupations and the count of Wikipedia and sister-site articles come from Wikidata (CC0). Each birthplace is checked against the person’s English Wikipedia article, or the French one where English says nothing or has no article; the articles are linked, never quoted. Wikidata’s Statistics Canada code, the place’s name or its point inside the 2021 census outline puts a birth in a town, and a birth given only as a split city stays on that city’s page. Fields are read from the description and occupations, and the list runs by number of articles. “The usual town” is everyone listed across Canadian towns.
