All pages are corrected and now waiting for site update. As for Villaamil - I tried to search for the correct spelling of his surname and most sources have it with two "a" so maybe it was a mistake in Mundo Deportivo.

Thank you!
You might be correct. I was just wondering about the spelling in general. Compare for example the number of results on Google for "Villamil" and "Villaamil". Since his name was reported as both, I assumed "Villamil" - as the spelling that delivers more results - was possibly more likely.
I did not know his name was more frequently published with double a.

Interesting that searching Google locally for Fernando Pérez de Villamil ('single a' spelling) it just asks me "Did you mean: Fernando Pérez de Villaamil"
In fact the only reference to the name with a single a was for the author of a book on "The transformation of gay identity in Spain"

Given the fact that his brother Polo (Leopoldo), who was also a racing driver, also had the surname Villaamil, I believe that this is the correct spelling.

Do you think it'd be worth it to skim through the archive and look for non-published cases like the one above? Previews would be enough for us. We could gather them here and collectively send them to Nanni.
Or do you know whether the authors at mm.org did sth similar and only very few fatalities went under the radar?

I searched through the archive about two years ago and sent several car fatalities, but as the archive is usually filled with new newspapers there can still be more accidents which are not included. As I did not search through motorcycle accidents, I think that there's some more which went unnoticed by MM.org.
I'm currently doing LWF entries and will be busy with them until next week, so you can search through previews and either post new cases there or directly send them to Nanni. If you'll post them there I can quickly search through our database or other sources to confirm/deny if they are already added or eligible to the database. So it's up to you.
It seems that, for me, not all entries are always shown depending on how I search mm.org. I. e. some entries were not shown when I filtered mm.org by 'circuit'. But when working through the 'surname' filter, they were there.

I've made an account using a temporary e-mail address.
You have 3 free pages to view if you do that.
Thank you. Do you have the link to the original picture or do you think there's a way to deduce the link from the preview? Similar to what we're doing with newspapers.com
