Wikipedia is becoming main source of information in many areas, including history of mathematics. The author uses computational techniques to Wikipedia articles about nineteenth-century British mathematicians to assess and evaluate their collaborative networks. One conclusion reached, which should be evident from the universality of the textbook \textit{Elements} in teaching geometry, is that Euclid is the most commonly mentioned name in the articles.\N\NFor the entire collection see [Zbl 1531.01004].
