Robert Engle | 76 comments Walter Bagehot is the correct one
Walter Bagehot Esq needs merged in

John Ruskin is the correct one
John Ruskin, Marcel Proust translator Marcel Proust has his name included instead of being distinct. Searching La Bible d'amiens gets 7 hits and I'd say a few of those probably need merged once these 2 authors are separated. Marcel Proust probably needs cleaned up too.
John Ruskin 1819-1900 needs merged in and the one book under his name merged too.
John Ruskin, Henry Wentworth Acland Another 2 authors listed as one. Henry Wentworth Acland has the one book listed under the combined name on his page so that needs combined too. Henry Wentworth Acland (Sir needs deleted.
