Merge the Factbook entries with all the related dictionary articles on Azazel and Scapegoat.
Logos has Azazel listed as both a place and a Supernatural being but the dictionary articles are discussing the various possibilities of meaning together. It would be helpful to have ONE Factbook entry with all the dictionary articles on the topic in one place.
Azazel (place): https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25Azazel
Azazel (Supernatural being): https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25Azazel_Deity
Scapegoat: https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25scapegoat
It's interesting that the same New Interpreter's Dictionary article on Azazel is included in all three Factbook entries. Perhaps that's an indication that the entries should be merged since they cover the same topic, which references the same biblical passage (Leviticus 16).

As the factbook is tied to tagging, I would not like to see the person and the place combined. I consistently prefer greater granularity and consistency in criteria for distinctions. I know this is not always the Faithlife position.

Perhaps the Scapegoat and the place should be combined since Azazel could either refer to the goat itself or the destination of the goat (whether where or to whom), and the supernatural being kept separate since it also refers to the figure in Enoch (even though some believe that Azazel in Leviticus and Azazel in Enoch are the same spiritual entity).
But it would be nice to have all of the dictionary articles that deal with all three possibilities aligned to each Factbook entry. Then a person can see all the articles with the full discussion of options for meaning regardless of what they clicked on or typed in to get to the Factbook. I'm trying to think of things in terms of how the end user is using the software versus how a developer is thinking about the data.
I just think it's weird for the Dictionary of Deities and Demons article to not show up under supernatural being Factbook entry. That's literally what that dictionary is for, to discuss supernatural beings. AYBD should be aligned to all three as well since it discusses the all possibilities in one article:
[quote]
AZAZEL [Heb ʿăzāʾzēl (עֲזָאזֵל)]. The destination or goal to or for which the scapegoat is sent on the Day of Atonement (Lev 16:8, 10, 26).
...
A. The Term
The meaning of the term ʿăzāʾzēl is not entirely clear. The main interpretations are: (a) It is the name of a demon (e.g., Delcor 1976: 35–37; Loretz 1985: 50–57; Tawil 1980). (b) It is a geographical designation meaning something like “precipitous place” or “rugged cliff” (Sipra, Aḥare Mot 2:8; Tg. Ps.-J. Lev 16:10, 22; Driver 1956: 97–98). (c) It is an abstract noun meaning “destruction” or “entire removal” (e.g., BDB 736). (d) It is made up of the terms ʾēz ʾōzēl “goat that goes (away)” and is a description of the dispatched goat (cf. the LXX, Vg; it is from this interpretation that we get our term “scapegoat”).

There's a error in the tagging of the word 'earth' in Psalms of Solomon 17:20 that is creating an anomaly in the Ezekiel factbook entry. The first occurrence of the word 'earth' in that verse is tagged as <Person Ezekiel>, which is causing the Ezekiel factbook entry to show that 'earth' (gk: γῆ) is one of the ways that Ezekiel is referred to.
I reported this problem here: https://community.logos.com/forums/t/209884.aspx

At least in Verbum 10.0, the Factbook entry for Pope Benedict XVI, https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25PopeBenedictXVI_Person, is now only showing me a few non-English books that I don't own under Works, rather than all of the works by him that are in the catalogue.

Is the record "Slavonic Acts of Peter" intended to be the "Slavonic Act of Peter" (singular)? and is the record "Act of Peter" intended to have a secondary title "Coptic Act of Peter". Note neither question is to be confused with the Greek etc. Acts of Peter (plural) -- a different work.

It's the same in Logos 9.17 (the Factbook itself wouldn't be different, would it?)
This looks like someone merged Ratzinger with Benedict and mistakenly threw out all non-Spanish works? I do hope those things will be fixed.

Threw them clean out of Factbook, it appears. I can't find Factbook articles for any of the missing works by Pope Benedict XVI. Likewise for a number of other books, but not all. (Nor does there seem to be a 1:1 relationship between an author's work not being findable and not appearing under Works in the author's own Factbook article.)

https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25SacramentReconciliation desperately needs Also:Confession (and/or Also:Sacrament of Confession) added, given that most English-speaking Catholics (and others) looking for a Factbook article on that sacrament will search for "Confession" and find only a Factbook article about the more general act of confessing sins... nothing about the sacrament in question.

460. Many errors:
1. The reign of Theodosius seems out of place here
2. The rites belong here: Latin Rite, Melkite Greek Catholic Church, Syro-Malabar Catholic Church, Maronite Church (Factbook has Maronites)
3. Also in the Roman (Western Catholic) sphere are Ambrosian Rite (Factbook concept), Mozarabic Rite (Factbook concept), Gallican Rite (Factbook concept), . . .
4. Again the reign of Theodosius seems misplaced
5. Melkites are Byzantine not Roman Catholics
6-8, Syro-Malabar Catholic Church is a Syriac church not a Roman (Western) Church
9. The reign is still out of place

Ecumenical is not Protestant
Apparently there is not a consensus on who started Ecumenism, but there are some who think it was a Protestant movement originally. Factbook should note the different theories, not assert that it is a Protestant movement. When things need to be hierarchically categorized, it makes it difficult when there are differing viewpoints about what category it should fall under.
From Wikipedia's entry on Ecumenism:
One understanding of the ecumenical movement is that it came from the Catholic Church's attempts to reconcile with Christians who had become separated over theological issues.[67] Others see the 1910 World Missionary Conference as the birthplace of the ecumenical movement.[68] Others yet point to the 1920 encyclical of the Eastern Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarch Germanus V "To the Churches of Christ Everywhere" that suggested a "fellowship of churches" similar to the League of Nations.[69]

472. Pre-Reformation (Post-Schism) - https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%25PrereformationPostschism_Denom - clearly something of a reworking of "Proto-Protestantism". What is rather problematic is the description in the article that indicates that the individuals in this category all "propagated ideas similar to Protestantism". That is manifestly false of most of the figures in this category, particularly the canonized Catholic Saints and Doctors of the Church in the list.
