Joseph Butler vs Samuel Butler <- theologian
There is a disambiguation for Samuel Butler yet the page listed shows it as Joseph Butler as theologian with corresponding dates of life. Resolution required. -- billinghurst (talk) 06:47, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Appendix of Living Writers
I started this a while ago, and obviously forgot to link it from the main page of the work. Now added, and the Z surname added. Note that I have it a level down, so had to move the work, however, not sure whether that is how we would like to continue or not. If we do continue with the extra level, then we will need to amend SBDEL link to allow for an Appendix criteria. -- billinghurst (talk) 02:50, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * There is a short short bio on some bloke called Yeats, on the previous page to the single Z, I didn't know whether they were getting individual entries or a whole page. Discovered another place, beginning with G, misplaced an entry on the same page. Cygnis insignis (talk)


 * Don't mind. I can be swayed either way. We could just having a running list per letter, A/B/C...  I don't know the work well enough to make an informed decision.  billinghurst (talk) 03:12, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * The appendix is not long: put it on one page, sections or anchors can be thrown in where desired. Cygnis insignis (talk) 03:31, 4 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Sounds like a plan. Is there any means to easily pull name contents onto the main page? Or should we just do a summation of names and list? -- billinghurst (talk) 07:21, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
