Greg,
This is amazing! Thanks so much for doing this.
I have added it to the Paralympic Stories site - https://paralympichistory.org.au/article/the-award-winners-for-2019/?article_category=43&scrubber=100.
I remember that you also noted the Australia Day and Queen’s birthday list people at some stage so I will try to add them to the site.
Eventually, this could be a good feature to add to the Paralympic Stories site going back down the years.
I also wonder if there is a way of creating these lists in Wikipedia so that we can ensure their protection?
I would be interested in what others think.
