Open plea/hint re: Community tags

I've pushed the use of Community Tags as a way for users to help each other improve the tagging available in Logos by tagging resources Logos has not tagged or is not expected to tag. I've been pleased with the additional tagging I've been seeing but recently have noticed that there is a certain coding error that is quite common. For certain cases, Ezekiel, Daniel, Isaiah etc. the name applies to either a person or to a book of the Bible. I'm frequently finding the person Ezekiel, for example, as the tag when the reference is to the Book of Ezekiel. Note the difference in the Community drop down menu (orange points to the book):

note that the person looking blue icon refers to the person.

Also feel free to delete the erroneous coding as your deleting it only deletes it for you personally, not for the person who created the tag.

This has bugged me as well and is one flaw with the CT model. However, I am contemplating getting a group of seasoned Logos Users to "crowd-source" CT for some of the more popular resources that do not have tagging or not extensive tagging. My biggest concern though is quality control.

What are your thoughts?

At the moment I am tagging biographies in several resources. I am hoping that Faithlife can be selective and adopt a set of tags for particular resources from particular users and turn them into "official tags". QA for a selected group's work should be able to be simply 2 passes through the material with 2 separate individuals unless one gets into cultural concepts and themes where definitions are less clear cut. There I suspect Faithlife would have to provide a complete list with definitions to help us sort out difficult cases ... or Faithlife might be able to do the QA/tagging faster working from a user supplied base, Either way I think it is worth seeing if we can make crowd-sourced tagging work.
