Abcdarian | 26579 comments 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?

NT Michael, the books listed (and therefore the description) for the second Robert Parry have been corrected.

Darkpool 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?


message 490: by rivka, Former Moderator (new)

rivka | 45177 comments Mod
Doesn't really matter, although if you can do chronological that would be nice.


message 491: by Cait (new)

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments 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!
