Author: William H. McNeillAlso known as: Willam H. McNeill, William H. McNeil, William H. McNeill, William Hardy McNeill, ed. William H. McNeill
Disambiguation Notice
William Mcneill and William H. McNeill are not always the same person. William H. McNeill, who is the same (I believe) as William Hardy McNeill, is the famous historian. There is a William Mcneill who writes books about philosophical subjects such as "The Glance of the Eye: Heidegger, Aristotle, and the Ends of Theory", and he has edited books like "Continental philosophy : an anthology" and also some books by Heidegger. I did not separate this author page because it looks like, however rarely, there are a couple of instances ('Plagues and Peoples', e.g.) where the books by the historian (William H./William Hardy) McNeill have come into LT as just 'William McNeill'. Eventually this will have to be addressed. I am just noting it now...

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 some infernal idiot keeps 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 infernal idiot and I'm right! A: Take it to the Combiners group.Q: What if this author is really two authors? A: We're working on a solution, but if you want you can post a brief disambiguation notice in the Common Knowledge section. Become a member to do this. |
