Let's see if this time I'm able to post my Disambing of Mary McCarthy

Mary^McCarthy: American writer (1912-1989) http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

Mary^^McCarthy: Irish writer (1951- ) http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

Mary^^^McCarthy: author of craft books
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

Mary^^^^McCarthy: author of historical essays (??)
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...

I'm still not sure that all what is listed under the first and most famous Mary McCarthy is her work... probably there are still a few writers carrying this name.

one more: Mary^^^^^McCarthy: author of puzzle books

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

There are at least two John Websters - one is a 17th century dramatist, and the other seems to be an expert on Karl Barth.

Edited to add: Just found what I think is a third one. And a fourth and fifth?

So it would seem to be:

John^Webster - 17th century dramatist.
John^^Webster - theologian.
John^^^Webster - expert on the Romantic poets (Keats, Byron, etc.).
John^^^^Webster - author of a book on animal welfare, another on fungi, and a third on dairy cows.
John^^^^^Webster - author of Electronic Devices for Rehabilitation.. Medical Instrumentation and Clinical Engineering Series..

[This Is Not The Michael You're Looking For]

Susanna, please do not produce lists of authors as if they are disambiguated when they are actually not. Let the librarian who actually does the splitting choose how many spaces go with each author. It is fine to identify many of the variants, but it causes confusion when you list the author as if they have been split when they really have not.

The John Webster mess listed above (#174) has not been disambiguated if anyone is feeling bored.

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

I was just trying to help.

I'll just go away now, and not mention John Ford, 17th century playwright, 20th century filmaker, and expert on gardens.

[rivka, Former Moderator]

Susanna, posting these things is good, but the "this author needs help" thread -- or a new thread -- would be better.

This one is just for giving Michael the info to update the list.

[This Is Not The Michael You're Looking For]

Yes, I'm sorry if you thought I was asking you not to provide info. It's actually quite useful. But if the disambig hasn't been done, it's better to just list the various "John Ford"s you've identified, not give them specific ^^^^'s
