291. Karl von Miltitz (Papal Nuncio) - merge https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25CarlVonMiltitz_Person & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25KarlVonMiltiz_Person
292. Rename https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25AugustinCalmet_Person as Augustin Calmet (exegetist)
"The saints are the true interpreters of Holy Scripture. The meaning of a given passage of the Bible becomes most intelligible in those human beings who have been totally transfixed by it and have lived it out." - Pope Benedict XVI
293. Mole - disambiguate https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25mole_Animal, because a "mole" is not a "mole rat" or a "rat" or a "shrew".
294. Dead Sea - merge https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25DeadSea_Place & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25SaltSea_Place
295. Sea of Galilee - merge https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25SeaOfGalilee_Place & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25SeaOfTiberias_Place & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25LakeOfGennesaret_Place
296. Rock - disambiguate https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%24rock - a rock is not "stoning"! Stoning has its own article: https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25stoning
297. Nicodemus the Hagiorite - merge https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.nicodemusthehagiorite & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25SaintNicodemusoftheHolyMountain_Person & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.nicodemosoftheholymountain_1
298. Severus of Antioch - merge https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.severusantioch & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25Severus1._Person [Note that one of the two EAC entries in the Dictionaries section of the latter is https://ref.ly/logosres/ncyncntchrstnty?hw=Severus, who is a different person who needs a Factbook article that should probably be called "Severus (Encratite Heretic)". I look forward to the day when the EAC is allowed to provide the Factbook with Key Articles.]
299. Saint Epiphanius of Salamis - merge https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.EpiphaniusSalamis & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.saintepiphanius
300. Dorothy Day - correct https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25DorothyDay_Person to show that she was a woman, not a man!
301. Feast Days & Feria - Absurdly, https://ref.ly/logosres/odcc?hw=Feria is presently tagged to show up as a dictionary entry for Feast Days ( https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25feastDays ) even though that very article correctly explains that a day that is not a feast day is by definition a feria, the reverse also being true; this entry also does not show up under the actual Factbook article for Feria ( https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25feria ).
302. https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.massfirstchurchsalem_1 & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.massthirdchurchboston_1 & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.masslowellhebrewclublowell_1 are articles with broken names.
303. Holy Roman Empire - merge https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.holyromanempire_1 & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25holyRomanEmpire & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%40HolyRomanEmpire
304. John the Deacon - disambiguate https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25JohnTheDeacon_Person. As the Catholic Enyclopedia makes clear, there were four men by this name. (Actually more.) Better to disambiguate them properly now rather than later when the mess may be much bigger. See also https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.johndeacon
305. Either rename https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25SaintLaurentiusJustinianus.1_Person as "Saint Lawrence Justinian", which I think is the better option, or at least add it as an "Also:" No one will ever search for "Saint Laurentius Justinianus", and no one who searches using his English name can find him in the Factbook.
Major thanks @SineNomine and others for continuing to point out these issues for us! Please rest assured we're working on them.
SineNomine: 237. Sexual Immorality - merge https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.pt%3aSexualImmorality & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=lco.Sexual_immorality 238. False Teaching - merge https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25falseTeaching & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.pt%3aFalseTeaching
237. Sexual Immorality - merge https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.pt%3aSexualImmorality & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=lco.Sexual_immorality
238. False Teaching - merge https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25falseTeaching & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.pt%3aFalseTeaching
Our current approach is to split Preaching Themes from other concepts: they're different enough that joining them can lead to confusion. We're still actively thinking about the best way to connect this information.
SineNomine: 243. Most Cultural Ontology entities are sentence cased (e.g., https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=lco.Social_offenses ) whereas most of the rest of the Factbook's concepts are not (e.g. https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?txt=social ).

I believe a recent release has shipped title case corrections for the Cultural Ontology, but please speak up if you find other title casing errors.
SineNomine: 252. Canon - disambiguate https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25canon , which is a complete mess (look at the dictionary articles).
252. Canon - disambiguate https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25canon , which is a complete mess (look at the dictionary articles).
Agreed that this concept needs substantial review. We'll continue working down this larger list of improvements.
SineNomine: 274. With the addition of the Catholic Encyclopedia to the Factbook, many new duplicate articles for popes have been created. They can be easily found by searching "pope from" (e.g., Pope Saint Zachary - merge https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25SaintZacharias_Person & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25PopeZachary_Person )

We rushed to get this resource out for Verbum users, so looks like we missed some merging: we'll review these.
Sean Boisen:Please rest assured we're working on them.

I wasn't sure about this; some things are split and some aren't, so it's nice to have more clarity on what is supposed to be split.
Sean Boisen:I believe a recent release has shipped title case corrections for the Cultural Ontology, but please speak up if you find other title casing errors.
Will do.

Thank you!

I appreciate having the resource and have no problem with the fact that it was rushed to get it out before Christmas. Much appreciated, in fact.
306. Oswald Thompson Allis (American Old Testament Scholar) - merge https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25OswaldThompsonAllis_Person & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.oswaldtallis_1
307. Correct name of https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.arthurwestcott_1 to Arthur Westcott (remove the ".")
308. Merge https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.fbwestcott into https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.frederickwestcott unless the F & B got swapped and it's actually https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25BrookeFossWestcott_Person (I can't tell from my library).
309. https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.catholicchurchnationalconferenceofcatholicbishopsa_1 was renamed to https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.unitedstatesconferenceofcatholicbishops_1 , so I'm inclined to suggest merging it under the latter name.
310. Correct name of https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25CongregationForTheCausesOfSaints to Congregation for the Causes of Saints. Also, reclassify it; it's not merely a Concept.
311. Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith - merge https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25CongregationofPropagandaFide & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25sacredCongregationOfPropaganda (This time I make special note of the implied name change in the label for this one; keep the two present names in Also:, please.) Also, not a Concept.
312. Sacred Congregation of Rites - merge https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.sacredcongregationofrites_1 & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25CongregationofSacredRites
313. Pontifical Biblical Commission - merge https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25PontificalBiblicalCommission & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.pontificalbiblicalcommission_1
314. Codex Vaticanus - merge https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25Vaticanus_Writing & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bibms.3.10002 & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bibms.1.20003
315. Daniel Whyte III - merge https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.danielwhyteiii & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.whytedanieliii
316. https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.iiijohn_1 is messed up and I can't be sure what it's meant to refer to.
317. Alter name of https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.ignatiusyaqubiii to Ignatius Ya'qub III. Consider adding Ignatius Jacob III as Also:.
318. Flavius Magnus Aurelius Cassiodorus Senator (Roman writer, statesman, and monk) - merge https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25Cassiodorus_Person & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25FlaviusMagnusAureliusCassiodorusSenatorCassiodorus_Person
319. Remove First Vatican Council as an Also: from https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25Quirinus and then merge with https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25JohannJosephIgnazVonDollinger_Person, keeping the name Johann Joseph Ignaz Von Döllinger (Bavarian Church Historian).
320. Remove the Key Passage from https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25Quirinus_Deity, because this article is about a Roman god, not a Roman governor of Syria.
See https://community.logos.com/forums/t/198085.aspx for a report of a needed disambiguation that comes from the significant difference between a crowd of people and wine press.
321. Richard Rufus of Cornwall (Oxford Franciscan) - merge https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25RichardOfCornwall_Person & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.richardrufuscornwall
322. Cornwall - merge https://ref.ly/logosres/eerdencycaa?hw=Cornwall & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%40Cornwall
323. Correct name of https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25AlexandreAntonineTache.1_Person to Alexandre Antonine Taché (Canadian Prelate). Note the accent.
324. Palmyra - merge https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25Palmyra_Place & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25Tadmor_Place
325. Antwerp - merge https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25Antwerp_Place & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%40Antwerp
326. Quebec - merge https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%40Quebec & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25Quebec_Place
327. Correct https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25SaintCuthbertMayne_Person to Saint Cuthbert Mayne (Martyr). The present stuff in brackets in the name of this article is embarrassingly misleading.
328. Seminary - merge https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25seminary & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25ecclesiasticalSeminary
329. Wilfrid Henry Isaacs - merge https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.wilfridhenryisaacs_1 & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.wilfridhisaacs
330. Capitalize at least "Cistercian" in the names of https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25Beatrix.1_Person, https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25GelasiusOCullenan_Person, https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25AdamOfPerseigne_Person & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25BerthaDeMarbais_Person
331. Joachim of Fiore (Cistercian Abbot and Mystic) - merge https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25JoachimOfFlora_Person & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.JoachimFiore
332. General/widespread issue: it is at least normal for Factbook Person entries that originate with the arrival of the Catholic Encyclopedia to provide sentence casing in brackets, unlike standard practice for Person entries from other books. This is especially problematic when the first word of what is or should be in brackets is proper. See https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?txt=jesuit for numerous examples. Compare the origins of the "Jesuit" entries to those of the "jesuit" ones. The word "Jesuit" is always capitalized, whether a noun or an adjective. (See also 330. above.)
333. Johannes Valentinus Andreae - merge https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.johannesvalentinusandreae & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25JohnValentineAndreae.1_Person
334. Valentin Thalhofer (German theologian) - merge https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25ValentinThalhofer_Person & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.valentinthalhofer
335. Split https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.johnnymeltonbobbyvalentinejohnmarkhicks_1 into its three constituent people.
336. Valentin Ernst Löscher - merge https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25ValentineErnestLoescher.1_Person & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.valentinernstloscher
337. Lifespan of John Vianney - merge https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.tle%3alifejohnvianney1 & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.tle%3alifejohnvianney (I don't know what your standards are for merging timeline events, but these two are identical as far as I can tell, so it makes no sense for there to be two of them in Factbook.)
338. Ernst Friedrich Karl Rosenmüller - merge https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.ernstfriedrichkarlrosenmuller_1 & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.ernfridcarrosenmuller_1
339. Pedro Calderon de la Barca (Spanish dramatist) - merge https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25PedroCalderonDeLaBarca_Person & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.pedrocalderondelabarca
340. Divide https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.nestorravilasandwilfredolaceda_1 into two people.
341. Christianity Today - merge https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.christianitytoday_1 & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.christianitytodayintl_1 & https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.christianitytodayinternational_1
342. Rename https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25IllinoisEvanston to Evanston (Illinois) and reclassify it as a City.
343. John Ankerberg - correct denomination of https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.johnankerberg; being born in 1945 does not make you Pre-Reformation.
344. For that matter, these entities don't belong to that denomination's targeted timeframe either: https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.alianzaevangelicamundial, https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.jhbernard, https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bio.nealjanthony.
345. It's misleading (and potentially rather offensive) to put a bunch of medieval Catholic Saints like Thomas Aquinas and Catherine of Siena in a denomination with both a classification and an Also: of "Proto-Protestantism". See and fix https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25PrereformationPostschism_Denom
