I discovered that Colin D.^Campbell above is actually Colin Dearborn Campbell, so I combined the two. I will change the second Colin D. Campbell to one space and remove the disambiguation note. Is this correct?

Another noob here *waves* So, having found that there seem to be at least half a dozen authors named Michael Collins that need disambiguating, I wondered if there was any guideline about how to decide which ones get how many spaces between their names. Does it make a difference? do I give the contemporary, still producing, moderately famous one the single space? Or do the oldest (or at least, longest ago published) get the fewest space? Or does it not matter?
Since new books are going to come in usually with one space, there's going to be less work to do for maintenance if you put the currently most prolific in the one-space slot!
