This Is Not The Michael You're Looking For | 949 comments Foppe, please don't post lists of names with ^'s in them which haven't actually been separated yet. If they need to be separated, that is fine, but don't assign ^'s to names which don't exist in the database; leave that to the person who actually does the work.

Among other things, it is not clear to those reading this that you haven't actually done any of the separating yet and are instead requesting that they be separated.

For those looking for something to do, none of the authors mentioned in posts 108 through 112 have actually been disambiguated as of yet.

Edit: Neither has James Hall mentioned in 115, although Clif did a lot of the prep work by identifying who a lot of the various James Hall's were in the author profile.

Yeah, I just came to the thread in order to clarify my earlier posts a bit. Sorry :)
I ran across these fellows while cleaning up the entries for the books in my library.

@Paula: My sincerest apologies for finding the monstrosity called David Ross. :P
