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

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.

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.

[Paula]

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

[Clif]

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?

[Paula]

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.

Please note there are at least 5 authors named Steve Miller.

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)

[Paula]

Thanks Foppe -

Ill make a start

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