Disambiguation List

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

A moderator may have to take over the disambiguation list, because I am no longer able to edit a post in a closed topic. This appears to be a change in the way GR groups works. Therefore, we'll need a moderator who can open the list, make edits, and then re-close it when the changes are done.

This change will clearly affect any other similar list which someone wants to maintain as a closed topic as well.

I think this is actually an accidental change due to GR 2.0.

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

I'm pretty sure I've made changes since the 2.0 release, which means it's something which has occurred between then and last night.

That's odd, since I think someone complained about the bug in the initial wave of bug reports. Anyway, I emailed Otis, and we'll see what he says.

[Otis]

The comment system refactor was the culprit - we'll fix it in the next release!

[rivka, Former Moderator]

Thanks, Otis!

Repurposing the topic...

I think the author of this book

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/89...

is not the science fiction author who wrote all the other Jack Williams books.

[Sherry]

Another pair of authors:

1) Richard Webster: Spiritual and New Age
2) Richard Webster: Skeptic

(I don't know if this is the right place to post this...)

Sherry

Since the relevant thread's still locked, here's another addition that needs to be made to the disambiguation list

(1) Dorothy Porter (poetry; verse novels; young adult fiction)
(2) Dorothy Porter (history of medicine)

I've done all the necessary editing; this is just for future reference.

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

I added these. The primary thread is purposefully locked so that it only contains the lists, not commentary. In the future, if you could add the links to the author pages, it makes things a lot easier, otherwise it can be very difficult to find a specific obscure author among the many books for a well known author.

Another one:
1)Antoinette Pope(cookbooks written with Francois Pope)
2)Antoinette Pope(engineering/science)

[Cynthia]

I think these are the ones I emailed--I just want to be sure they get listed.

(1) Peter Crowther - many horror/fantasy novels, short stories, and edited anthologies
(2) Peter Crowther Sailing (one title)
(3) Peter Crowther Naturalist

And new ones:
(1) Clark Howard - myteries
(2) Clark Howard - consumer advocate

[Cynthia]

And more!
(1) Martin Edwards - mysteries
(2) Martin Edwards - legal nonfiction

[Cynthia]

(1) Richard Pollack - Mathematics
(2) Richard Pollack - Hypnosis

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

I've been out of town but am trying to catch up on these. There are at least two separate threads of new disambiguations to be listed; could we try to put future requests on this other thread which Rivka recently started in order to keep them all in one place?

DC: You got the numbers on the Peter Robinson's all mixed up, but I think they're now straight.

[Cynthia]

Will do - sorry!

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

Not a big deal, but as long as we have the other thread...
