Thank you for the effort! :)

This sounds a resonable procedure. I'd suggest to keep some
sort of list for the Source tags just for the spelling to be
the same everywhere.

I think that the latter is the way to go, ie. a resonable
efford.
Additionaly, I'd find it important, that once you stumble
upon names that can be resolved automatically or upon data
that is currently not in scids ratings file to feed that
back into Franz' excellent work and to further complete it.
I could imagine that setting the "users" flag for games with
an ambiguity is probably a good idea to mark an "unresolved
issue".

A great thing! :)
