Author Disambiguation

How many authors?

Ariana Franklin is currently considered a "single author." If one or more works are by a distinct, homonymous authors, go ahead and split the author.

This entry includes…

Combine with…

No authors suggested.

What?

Q: What is this feature for/why is it necessary?

A: Because LibraryThing draws from so many different libraries, it can't enforce a single name for a given author. "Also known as" lets LibraryThing users combine author's names easily, so collections match up and everything runs smoothly.

Q: Can I combine with an author not suggested above?

A: Yes you can.

Q: I know an author is separate, but mischievous gremlins keep combining them. Can I take a name off the combination list?

A: Yes you can.

Look up! Everything in the "Combine with..." section now has a link to "never combine." Use this feature wisely. "Marc Twain" may be idiotic, but misspelling should still be combined. "Mark Twain" and "Edward Gibbon" should not.

Q: What authors have already been slated to "never combine" with this author?

A: No authors.

Q: I am the gremlin and I'm right!

A: Take it to the Combiners group.

Q: What if the disambiguation notice is wrong?

A: Go ahead and edit it.
