This research project is to use the Wikipedia website to search and record the names in the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet attached. I require their first name; last name; and date of birth. I also need the short description of the person (just copy the first paragraph), the photo of the person and the URL of the page. Follow the examples that I have given on each sheet please. I have completed the first entry in each category for you as an example. If the information is not on Wikipedia, you are NOT expected to go to other websites to find it. If Wikipedia does not have the date of birth of the individual, please do NOT waste your time trying to find it elsewhere. If the Wikipedia page does not have a photo, you do NOT have to find one yourself. The photos could be saved on a separate document if that is easier to produce as long as it is easy to see the name of the person next to each photo and that the photos are still grouped in their categories. Be careful with the date of births. That information is often in the right sidebar along with the photograph. Also, please note that the "First Name" and "Last Name" are taken from the name shown as the title of the page rather than their actual name given in the first paragraph of text. The URLs need to be active hyperlinks rather than just plain text because I need to use these links to check the accuracy of the work at the end of the project. There are roughly 2000 entries to be made in total. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Hello! This is Sourabh Gupta from New Delhi. I am an advanced Excel VBA programmer currently at the post of Forum Expert at [login to view URL] (username - sourabhg98) with over 400 questions answered and 1100 reputation points. I would like to offer my services for this project. I can easily build an automated Excel VBA scraper to get all the data required from Wikipedia just as you have shown in the excel sheet attached. With the data for these 2000 records, I will also provide the automated scraper so it can be used for any number of wikipedia pages in the future to extract data. I assure the best in class services and fairest prices. Do consider me once, won't dissapoint you. Would wait for a positive and prompt response from your side :) Regards Sourabh
