Happy Birthday Horatio Nelson Bill—born in Lebanon, Connecticut, on this day March 25, 1824.
——————
Horatio worked as a sign painter before he (and brother Jeremiah) cut wood type for Edwin Allen in Windham, Connecticut. The brothers formed their own wood type company, H & J Bill, in 1850 based in Lebanon. They moved the company six miles north to Willimantic in 1851. The company was known as Bill, Stark & Co 1853–1854. In late 1854 the company was shuttered and subsequently sold to William H. Page in 1856. Horatio was listed as Type Maker on his 1863 draft registration and listed variously as a sign painter, house painter, and fine arts painter in the 1870s and 1880s.

#JabRef got a new cool new feature, to quickly see where bibliographic information is still incomplete. You might think, JabRef has already an Integrity check? Well, this feature's key focus is primarily on identifying missing required fields and to providing a quick overview.

Dysmorphia💛🤍💜🖤

I’m looking for advice about how to track my sources, collect annotated bibliographies, and generate citations and bibliographies and, ideally, output them in a way I can easily post on my blog.

I know tools like this exist for academics, and that might work though I don’t want to get sucked into any kind of proprietary ecosystem. I’m not an academic and this is just my hobby. Most of the things I’m citing are online. I have a hunch Wikipedians might have something that would work for me but I’m not sure where to look or what it might be called.
