Fix typos, formatting and thank yous (add links)
In some files changed the formatting was fixed to be a proper markdown file. There were some typos including that some README.md files that linked to /winners.html#Cody_Boone_Ferguson actually linked to the non-existent file /years which obviously would not work. I also added links to the rest of the places I have fixed entries (but see below) and I did the same for Yusuke Endoh's fixes. As well apparently one entry I thought he fixed to compile under modern systems does not seem to so that entry will have to be revisited another time. That entry was 1993/jonth. Those are the main changes here if not all of them.
