5 Douglas Wilsons & 2 Douglas L. Wilsons--need disambigs & other corrections

[Abigail]

This concerns 4 or 5 different Douglas Wilsons and 2 Douglas L. Wilsons.

This Douglas Wilson http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/... is a pastor who writes on Christianity, church stuff, and the like. Here is a list of his books for reference: http://www.dougwils.com/Random-Topics... There are some books by other Douglas Wilsons on his profile:

A different Douglas Wilson edited (I think) this book on needlecraft: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10...

This medical book: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/67... was written in part by Dr. Douglas Wilson of Edendale Hospital in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. http://www.k-rith.org/staff/douglas-w...

This detective story is by still another Douglas Wilson: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/64... (Here is the publisher's web page on it http://www.tatepublishing.com/booksto... I couldn't find much else.)

And this children's book: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15... belongs with this Douglas Wilson: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/... according to his web site: http://www.opengaits.webs.com/

=====
Also, this book http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15... has both Douglas Wilson (pastor) and Douglas L. Wilson (historian of Abraham Lincoln http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_...) listed as authors/editors. Only the pastor should be listed; the historian is not associated.

This book too http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15... was edited by Douglas Wilson (pastor), not Douglas L. Wilson (historian of Abraham Lincoln).

And this book http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11... shows up on historian Douglas L. Wilson's author page http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/..., but I don't think any Wilson (pastor, historian, or other) has anything to do with it.

====
Finally, this book http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/73... is by a Douglas L. Wilson who is not the historian, but it shows up on the historian's page. He is also not the aforementioned pastor, but also writes on spiritual topics: http://bookstore.authorhouse.com/Prod...

Work In Progress
I have no idea why is http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1111577... showing on the list so except for this all others are done.

Thanks Parul! I missed this one the first time through: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/80... It is another edition of the medical text and is still on the pastor Douglas Wilson's page and should go over to the doctor Douglas Wilson's page (and be merged w/the other edition?): http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/... Otherwise it all looks good!


Also, I did a little further digging on The Cat of Bubastes http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11... I have a copy of Henty's Beric the Briton, also published by Preston-Speed Publications, and didn't see anything pertinent in it last night, but I checked more closely today and saw that the back matter, in listing other Henty books, said of Cat of Bubastes: "Special Foreword by Douglas Wilson." So a couple things (or four): 1) No middle initial, so definitely not the historian Douglas L. Wilson, on whose page it now resides. 2) The pastor Douglas Wilson has association with some books and publishers that are used by homeschoolers (and Henty is perhaps most often read by homeschoolers), so I'm fairly sure circumstantially that he is the Wilson in question, but I can't find a definitive supporting link. 3) He wrote only the Foreword. 4) This Foreword is only relevant to the editions by Preston-Speed Publications.

I have fixed http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8012663....

Also, added Douglas Wilson, the pastor on The Cat of Bubastes, but for some weird reason the book is still appearing on Douglas L. Wilson's page :(

There was another edition with an incorrect author. Should be fixed now.

...and is the husband of a Nancy Wilson who needs to be disambiguated from other Nancy Wilsons. She is the author of Praise Her in the Gates, The Fruit of Her Hands: Respect and the Christian Woman, Building Her House: Commonsensical Wisdom for Christian Women, Why Isn't a Pretty Girl Like You Married?: And Other Useful Comments, Our Mother Tongue: An Introductory Guide to English GrammarKeep It Simple: Scriptural Wisdom For Teenage Girls, and Bright Night: The Story of Anne Bradstreet.

I'd be happy to take a stab at doing at least that much of the disambiguation if someone could point me to a how-to.

Thanks!
