Yes, he's been added just the other day on the latest update. I'll go fix him soon.
Right. I know author a gets one space, e.g. but don't know how many spaces author b or c or d should get. I didn't know that their number on the list corresponds to how many spaces they get -- very useful tip. Thanks!
I need step-by-step how-to, please.
If I know an author on a list needs to belong to a different list, exactly how do I choose? Do I open a new tab, call up the Master Disambig List, and -- what -- click on the one I want to see how many spaces I need? And then go back and put those spaces into the name to make it go to the proper author's list?
Or what? I'm confused.
Re msg #2: Yarbro is one of my specialties and I plan to work on her as soon as I'm done (if ever) with Peter O'Donnell.
And Wikipedia says there are more Winston Churchill's out there! Let's hope they're not writers, too.
Hah. Thanks.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winston_Chu...(novelist)I did have them backwards. And here's the Wikipedia page on the novelist.
Wait wait. I may have them just backwards. Sorry. But there is an American author named Winston Churchill, that I do know -- we used to have shelving problems in my bookstore if we didn't look closely at which W.C. we had in hand.Winston Spencer Churchill is the British prime minister; I checked. Frequently, the middle initial is not used, but sometimes it is.
Sorry for any confusion.
Watch out for Winston S. Churchill, an American novelist of the 19th century, not the same as Winston [no middle initial:] Churchill, British prime minister who wrote The History of the English-Speaking People
Displaying my ignorance yet again -- what does:D
mean, please?
Ah. My faith in you is restored.
Well, if I'm going to go to the trouble of getting the full list of essayists and make both editions conform, I think "contributor" is the proper role (except for Glen Yeffeth, editor). What say you?
Thanks, y'all. I didn't notice the "Kindle" until I'd already posted, so combining is what I should have done. I'll do the contributor list thingy.Is "collaborator" one of the role choices? Instead of "contributor," I mean. The book is a collection of essays on the theme, so "contributor" seems right, but the Kindle ed. is using "collaborator."
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28197...and

are the same book. They've been entered with the same main author but different other authors/roles. Shouldn't they be merged? If not, what should happen?

According to Google Books and Amazon, this edition is a book."
Thanks, Lisa.
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12372...This book is already listed separately. This listing has 0 reviews etc and is shown as "unbound" (whatever that means). One person has marked it to-read. Should this be deleted, or merged, or what?
Could somebody add Peter O'Donnell Illustrator as #4 in the Peter O'Donnell list? I'm not quite sure how to do it. Thanks.
And with that change, do I then go back in and put the extra spaces in the book data to get it out of the Peter O'Donnell 1-space guy's list?
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60825...The illustrator for this book is Peter O'Donnell, who isn't any of the three already on the Disambig list. I guess he needs 3 extra spaces, right? Can someone do that, please? Thanks.
I found the PO'D set but I couldn't see the extra spaces for which author. So on the MB list, do I go to the "wrong" book and do what? How do I tell how many spaces to put for each of these authors?Also, the illustrator PO'D isn't listed.
