Karina (camomiletea) | 5 comments I think (but I'm not sure) that there needs to be a disambig for Alexandre Dumas (there's a father and a son).

Cecile | 64 comments I googled for some time to identify at least 3 Janet Morris, so I separated the books in 3 profiles :
Janet E. Morris -
Science Fiction & Fantasy
Janet Terban Morris - Children books, self-help ?
Janet Morris - ?
It's easy to find the first one, but I'm not so sure about the other two.

Rivka - how do you get the ^^ to show up as part of the links in these posts? I type them in (they are in black text), but yours show up in green, already linked. I'm feeling a little slow.

I'm using straight HTML to code the links, not the add book/author widget.

message 86: by Clif (new)

Clif Hostetler (clif_) | 15 comments I have just posted a long comment under the biography of Richard Holmes. There happen to be two different authors that go by the name Richard Holmes. In my comments I have listed the books written by the respective authors, but I don't know how to separate their books. The books of both authors are all listed under the single name of Richard Holmes.


message 87: by Paula (last edited Jul 31, 2009 07:04AM) (new)

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments Thanks Cliff, and thank you for listing which books belong to each author - makes things a lot easier

I ll separate them out. Generally add an additional space between the names in the books of one the authors to create a separate profile or add an initial if the author uses one. It can be a long process depending on the number of books

Thanks for taking care of it. I notice there is a FAN OF THE AUTHOR listed for Richard Holmes. Will that fan get passed along to the correct Mr. Holmes?



message 89: by Paula (new)

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments The fan stays with the orginal author profile which is Richard Holmes (biographer)- I have messaged him to tell him to ensure that he is following the correct one now that there are now five Richard Holmes profiles

Edit: No, hang on, someone had already disambig'ed some of these books and not reported it! There are three (or more) of them, not two.

Red (redpimpernel) | 7 comments Please note there are at least 5 authors named Steve Miller.

(1) Steve Miller - SF&F, and the Liaden Universe
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

(2) Steve Miller - Dragonlance, RPG, Drawing
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

(3) Steve Miller - Religious themes

(4) Steve Miller - Marketing & Self-help
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

(5) Steve Miller - Science, Mystery, Photography
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

I'm pretty sure that (5) Steve Miller is still multiple authors, but I'm not sure enough to separate them yet.

Not certain if the second is all the same author's work or not but I do know the first Katherine Howe only has the one book.

message 99: by Foppe (new)

Foppe (0spinboson) | 39 comments http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/... this profile seems to be in need of disambiguation too. (I've removed the references to aristotle, but W.D. Ross might still have other titles inthere that I don't recognize)


message 100: by Paula (last edited Aug 05, 2009 11:47AM) (new)

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments Thanks Foppe -

Ill make a start

Edit - More complicated that I thought, any one else feel free to dive in
