General notes on {{cite encyclopedia}} edit

It is useful to me to add the article coverage for the volume in the titles below (e.g., Abbe–Barrymore) but note that it can be optionally left out of any citation that uses these (since it might be confusing).

Dictionary of American Biography from the American Council of Learned Societies edit

The Internet Archive response for Volume 1 is blank as of 2016-10-20, so I left the access date blank. However I was able to grab a local copy in PDF. Most of the volumes come from the University of Illinois library (hence the "il" in the URL base) but some, like volume 5, come from a different digitizing source and I changed the volume to roman numeral, since that is the way it is listed.
