Hi Magnus, it was nice seeing you in Montreal. I hope you enjoyed yourself, I sure did! I ran across Artnet artist ID (P3782) today and noticed it isn't in Mix'n'Match yet. I looked at http://www.artnet.com/artists/ and it seems to be a quite rich and scrapable resource. Do you want to have a shot at it? :-)

Auto-matching is running, will take a while...
Thank you very much! I still see the Automatic name/date matcher going up so I'll just wait for that. It should catch entries like Amelia Earhart and David Bowie on https://tools.wmflabs.org/mix-n-match/#/list/523/auto , right?
I have to use a random subset for the name/date matcher, so I'll have to run it several times :-( Maybe I can force it to do the entire thing, lemme see...
Maybe only run it on the auto matches and not the whole set?
That seems to have worked out! Thanks for running that. I just imported the artists in Finnish National Gallery person ID (P4177). Can you run that auto matching thing for that catalog too? Or does it run automatically? The date format is like "(1889-12-08 – 1980-09-28)", notice the different separator ( - / – ).
I think I ran this, but I'm running it again, just in case...
